Pride in London 2026 – we are back for the second year running!

Pride in London is back this July! Last year, we marched in force and it was a huge highlight of the year for a lot of us. This year we’re BACK – and we want to be even louder this year!

Pride is a celebration, yes, but it’s also a moment of visibility and solidarity. It’s a reminder that the right to be seen, heard and respected still matters, and that our industry has a role to play in creating workplaces (and research) where LGBTQ+ people can thrive. It is also a moment to recognise that while we celebrate progress, many members of our community around the world - and in the UK - are still far from having the rights, protection, and acceptance they deserve.

We are so proud that the MRSpride community has been accepted into the Pride in London March for a second year running. 

Think Bigger! Louder! Brighter!

We’ve committed to bringing music this year, so expect a proper Pride soundtrack – so bring your dancing shoes! And because Pride is about community, whether you’re LGBTQ+ or an ally, you’ll be marching alongside colleagues and friends from across research, insight and data.

With huge thanks to Rigour Research

We’re incredibly grateful to Rigour Research for generously sponsoring our march; helping us show up in full colour with flags, flags and a big banner, so we can represent the industry with pride.

How to join

We have 50 wristbands available, and they’re free of charge - first come, first served. As we expect demand to exceed the number of wristbands available, we kindly ask that you only register if you are confident you can attend on the day, so we can avoid no-shows and ensure everyone who signs up can take part.

If you want to be part of such a meaningful moment for our industry, come and march with us.

Let’s show what research looks like when every voice is welcome.
