Nottingham's Pride Parade will take place on Saturday, 26th July 2025. 

The parade will start at approximately 12 pm, from the corner of Lister Gate and Castle Gate (outside M&S) and head towards the Old Market Square, walking along the tram tracks at South Parade, Cheapside and Victoria Street towards Hockley and Sneinton.

Before the parade commences, additional security measures will be put in place across the City, including the closure of several streets leading to the Old Market Square. The closure of these streets will affect tram services, and we will not be able to operate services between the Royal Centre and Nottingham Station between approximately 11:20 - 14:30.

Service frequency

We are currently operating a temporary timetable, with services every 10 minutes. More information about our temporary timetable can be found here: Temporary timetable

There will be many more people in the City Centre on this date (expected 7000+ people), and to support our customers travelling by tram after the parade has cleared our tram tracks, we aim to reintroduce our regular Saturday tram service with trams from every 7 minutes (or every 3-4 minutes in the centre of the network) until 7 pm where services will continue every 10-15 minutes. This is dependant on our tram availability. Our customer relations team will keep you updated on tram services throughout the day via announcements, social media and our Service Status Page. To view our regular Saturday tram timetable, Click here.
