Swindon & Wiltshire Pride has named GWR Park as its venue for 2024.
The move follows two successful years at Queens Park, and the organisers say GWR Park will provide the perfect canvas for a Pride experience like no other on 10 August.
Nationwide is returning as headline sponsor.
Swindon & Wiltshire Pride is a charity, and won the Community Group of the Year accolade at last month's Wiltshire Life Awards.
Chair Paul Stewart said: “This is a hugely exciting moment for us and our supporters as we expand to a bigger location right in the heart of the community.
"GWR Park has a proud railway heritage, and today marks the start of the next leg of our journey in celebrating the diversity of our proud county.
'The committee are hard at work putting together plans for this year, and even though details are still to be confirmed, the extra space means we have more freedom to create an unforgettable celebration full of memories that will last a lifetime.”
Returning headline sponsor Nationwide Building Society has participated in many Pride events over recent years and has long been a supporter of community events in the town.
Lou Flaviani, People Director at Nationwide and Sponsor of the Pride Network said “We’re so pleased to be headline sponsors of Swindon & Wiltshire Pride again this year with Swindon being home for Nationwide.
"At Nationwide we know the importance of inclusion and diversity and we very much look forward to celebrating with the LGBTQIA+ community in August.”
WHSmith will also rejoin the team as Family Circus Zone sponsor, while Arval returns to ensure Pride remains accessible to all. For more information about Nationwide Building Society, people should visit www.nationwide.co.uk
