About The March
The march is the heart of Norwich Pride, it’s progress through the streets of Norwich is a symbol of protest, visibility, and our strength in numbers.
The march is headed up by our flags, proudly held aloft by local grassroot groups, and members of our community.
Following on, are people with accessibility needs in the dedicated section for disabled people wanting to join the march. Anyone wanting to join this section are urged to get into position as early as possible as it is a very busy time and it is difficult to get to the front once crowds start to gather.
Assistance dogs are welcome on the march. All other dogs must be kept on a short lead.
The next section is the Sponsors Section, all the businesses, organisations, and groups who support us.
The last section is The People’s March – headed up by our giant Progress Flag. Anyone can join this section; everyone is welcome to march with us.
If you want to join the march but would like to be in a quieter part, the back of the People’s March is usually calmest.
We start to gather for the march from around 12.30, ready to set off from 1pm. The front section, and the sponsors should gather in front of City Hall. Anyone wanting to join The People’s March should gather on and around Millennium Plain. Please be prepared for a bit of a wait before the march starts. Be patient, and if it is a sunny day, have sun protection.
There will be a designated accessible viewing space on the balcony of the Theatre Royal, it is open to any disabled people wanting to watch the March away from the crowds. Space here is limited, so we ask that people who are not disabled do not use this space.
There are points along the route where you can leave the March early for any reason, re-joining it again at a different point if you want to.
When the march arrives at Chapelfield Gardens it heads towards the Main Stage.
We reserve a dedicated accessible space directly in front of the stage, called Dean’s Den. This is kept open for wheelchair users and people needing to have a clear view of the BSL signer.
Please respect this space and make sure everyone who needs to use it can do. Thank you.
