Nottinghamshire Pride 2025

We're proud to continue our support of Notts Pride and our Pride Bus will attend Nottingham's Pride March and Market on Saturday 26th July.

You'll find the Pride Bus at the top of Hockley, near Carlton Street from approx. 11:30 until the Parade passes, where our team will have a limited exclusive range of giveaways. We'd love to see your photos with the Pride Bus - tag us on social media: @NCT_Buses on X/Twitter. 

Notts Pride begins with a visibility march through the city centre of more than 7,000 LGBTQ+ people and allies, leaving Lister Gate at 12pm. 

Some bus services will also divert on Saturday 26th July whilst the Pride March makes its way through the City Centre. The diversions have been split into two phases.
