Oxford Pride will return in full force on Saturday (June 3) as it celebrates its 20th anniversary.
This year’s event was initially planned to be held in University Parks but, due to budgetary and volunteer issues, will be taking place instead in Oxford Castle Quarter.
The Pride Parade will meet at 11am at Radcliffe Square and set off at noon.

It will pass through Broad Street, Cornmarket, Queen Street, Bonn Square and continue over the rainbow crossing outside County Hall before splitting into various events at Castle Quarter and nearby which run until 7pm.
There will be a big screen viewing area at Castle Quarter Stage, market stalls with merchandise at Castle Square Market and Leiden Square, a street party in Paradise Street, and chill-out spaces, face painting and tarot reading at County Hall.
The official after party will be held from 9pm to 6am at Plush Oxford in Frewin Court.

This is the final year the event will be chaired by Debbie Brixey.
She said: “The Pride Parade is an opportunity to represent all those who cannot march and to raise our voices to support members of our community here and around the globe who are under attack from so many sides.
“Oxford Pride continues to be here for the Trans community, and we say there is no LGB without the T.
“Our volunteer t-shirts once again say #PridewiththeT and we are strongly committed to this message and to continuing to fight for the rights of our Trans family.”
