Launching in September 2022, Cowbridge Pride is an annual week of nonprofit events. The aim of the project is to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, provide education and raise funds for resources in Cowbridge and Vale of Glamorgan schools.

​Cowbridge Pride was established by Ian H Watkins, a member of the band Steps, and Tom Hope, in partnership with the Welsh Government.

​Across its numerous events, Cowbridge Pride has brought thousands of visitors to the area and has driven community and footfall to Cowbridge.

 Despite its conservative reputation, residents of Cowbridge come together to show their support and paint the town rainbow.

The celebrations have become a staple in the town’s annual calendar.
