Sat 5 July, from 11am till 7pm
Pride Party in the courtyard, garden and church. There will be street food, bar, drag DJ sets, face-painting and craft stall.
Everyone is welcome
The relationship between organised religion and the expression of human sexuality is complex, and we recognise the courage that it takes sometimes for people who identify as LGBTQ+ to even get in touch with a church. Everyone is welcome to come along, whether or not they identify as LGBTQ+ and no matter their faith background, to enjoy and reconnect.
As we celebrate, our church will be open as a quiet space for private prayer and reflection. Take a moment to pause, breathe, and find calm inside — or enjoy the beauty of the Southwood Garden for a peaceful picnic and some shade.
Prepare for an unforgettable day filled with:
🍔 Street Food Galore – Indulge in a variety of delicious eats🎧 Drag DJ Sets – Dance the day away with iconic gay anthems spun by the sensational Barbara and Nikki🎨 Face-Painting Station – Get your face adorned with colourful, creative designs✂️Craft Stall – Make your own badges and bunting to show off your Pride spirit🍺 Local Craft Beer – Enjoy the finest brews from Goodness Brewery🥤Rainbow Slushies – Cool down with vibrant, fruity soft drink slushies in every colour of the rainbow🌿 Quiet Garden & Church Space – Enjoy the peace and get some rest in our gorgeous garden and beautiful church

“It’s our honour at St James’s Piccadilly to find ourselves on the historic Pride route through London. We issue a warm invitation to everyone on that day – and we really do mean everyone – to join us in celebrating life and love in all its diversity. The courtyard and garden will be full of dancing, conversation, hospitality and affirmation that all people, whatever our gender identity or sexuality, are part of one humanity. And the church itself will be open for quiet reflection and prayer for people from all faiths and none. As it says in the Bible, love is patient, love is kind. And we add; love is love. Come and celebrate with us on Saturday 5 July.”
