easyJet and easyJet holidays are officially sponsoring Blackpool Pride, Lancashire’s longest running and biggest Pride Festival.

The airline and tour operator are proud to sponsor Pride in Blackpool for the first time this year, enabling more people across Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde to attend the festival's 20th anniversary celebrations on 5, 6 and 7 June 2026.

To mark the partnership, easyJet holidays is offering £1,500 in easyJet holidays credit to Blackpool Pride’s fundraising raffle, with proceeds helping more young people and local members of the community to experience the event for free.

Raffle tickets will be available at participating venues and the winner will be announced from The Station Blackpool on 25 May 2026 at 4pm and streamed on the Blackpool Pride Festival Facebook page.

Oliver Henry, easyJet’s Head of Inclusion and Wellbeing said:

“We are proud to be sponsoring Blackpool Pride on their 20^th anniversary, bringing our ‘Orange Spirit’ and the joy of Pride to more people across the city. Through our partnership this year, we’re delighted to help make the celebrations more accessible for local young people, families and members of the LGBTQ+ community and we’re excited to support the great work Blackpool Pride continues to do.”

Sara Cheston, Chair of Blackpool Pride said:

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome easyJet and easyJet holidays as Official Partners of Blackpool Pride for our 20th anniversary celebrations. Their support means more than words can express — it will make a real and lasting impact on our local community and help us create an inclusive, vibrant event where everyone feels they belong. We are truly grateful for their commitment and excited for what we will achieve together.”
