Croydon Pride 2025

PrideFest

I had a fabulous day at Croydon PrideFest 2025 on Saturday despite the crazy rain. 

The Croydon Conservatives, led by Mayor Jason Perry marched from the Town Centre to Wandle Park and then we had a Croydon Conservatives stall. It was great chatting to residents from across the Borough about local issues and thank goodness the sun then came out!

It was also lovely to see the Civic Mayor, Richard Chatterjee and see live music, including the crazy Cheeky Girls!

There was a wide range of stalls and something for everyone. Having a Pride event in Croydon is so important because it brings the community together and shows that we stand up for inclusivity and equality for all. 

A big thanks to all the organisers - I'm already looking forward to PrideFest 2026!
