Celebrate Birmingham Pride 2025 at Great Western Arcade 🌈
Birmingham Pride 2025 is almost here, and the city is already alive with colour, celebration, and community. And just a few steps from the heart of the festivities, Great Western Arcade is ready to welcome you with open arms, rainbow bunting, and unforgettable experiences.
From Victory to Visibility: A Colourful Transformation
The Union Jacks are down and the Pride flags are up. At Great Western Arcade, we’re marking the moment with a bold and beautiful transformation – embracing every shade of identity, loud and proud.
✨ From honouring history to embracing community
✨ From wartime resilience to present-day Pride
✨ From glass-roofed grandeur to inclusive celebration
Just Minutes from the Parade & Pride Village
Whether you’re marching in the Pride Parade or heading straight to the Pride Village street party on Hurst Street, Great Western Arcade is just a short 10-minute walk from the action.
- Parade Starts: Centenary Square
- Pride Village: Near Hurst Street
- GWA: Around 0.7 miles from the heart of the celebration

Inclusive Style: Featuring King & Allen
We’re proud to spotlight King & Allen, one of the UK’s leading inclusive tailors, right here at Great Western Arcade. With a mission to celebrate diversity and ignite personal style, King & Allen is where self-expression meets exceptional fit. Their tailored suits help all people feel proud, empowered, and perfectly styled.
Spin Into Birmingham Pride 2025 with Ignite Records
It wouldn’t be a celebration without music! We’re thrilled to welcome back Ignite Records to Great Western Arcade with a fresh new pop-up space from 15 May. This time, they’re joined by their friends from @gamehqbrum, making the space bigger, bolder, and full of crate-digging joy. Expect rare vinyl, deep cuts, and the thrill of finding that record you didn’t even know you were looking for. Huge shout-out to Rich and the team — still 100% independent and totally iconic.
Pride-Ready, Community-Centred
Last year, the Arcade was buzzing with Pride energy – and this year promises even more! With shops and cafes decked in rainbow decor, bold fashion statements, and friendly faces all around, GWA is more than a place to pass through – it’s a destination.
📍 Just steps from Colmore Row and minutes from Hurst Street, we’re in the heart of Birmingham’s cultural pulse. Perfect for a pause, a photo, or a Pride-day pick-me-up.
