The Castle Cinema Pride Programme 2026

Pride Month arrives at The Castle Cinema with a bold, joy-filled programme celebrating queer cinema, creativity and community. Across the month, expect beloved classics, hidden gems and unforgettable live events - from performances, talks and Q&As to workshops, drag, DJ sets, poetry and singalongs.

Curated with community at its heart, all events are just £6, making Pride at The Castle as accessible as it is vibrant.

From sapphic romances and trans stories to queer friendship, camp musicals, documentaries, family-friendly films and screenings for older LGBTQ+ audiences, the programme embraces the many voices and experiences of queer life (closing with a Pride wrap party featuring Neo + Trinity Part II).

Created alongside collaborators including The Otherness Archive, The Pink Singers and Fist Club, this is Pride at The Castle: celebratory, communal and full of queer joy!

Programme supported by Film Hub London, managed by Film London. Proud to be a partner of the BFI Film Audience Network, funded by the National Lottery.
