Campsite

The Pride campsite has proved a popular part of Brighton Pride since it’s return in 2013 and made the event more financially accessible (not to mention fun) if you wish to avoid the hotel costs over Pride. Now under new management for 2015, plans are underway to make the campsite even better with improved on site facilities and services including on site catering and camp shop. After customer feedback Pride also hope to extend the site to cover three days from Friday to Sunday so visitors can stay for the Pride Village party on the Sunday.

The campsite is £25pp* for two days, £37pp* for three days (self-pitching tents or campervans). *Per person (each person wishing to stay on the campsite must have a camping pass). This offer expires 30th June. Bookings after this date will incur a late booking fee.
