UK Black Pride 2022 will be the first to be in person since 2019 after the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in 2020 and 2021’s being moved online.
“Each year, we consider how – through programming, protest and politics – we can create space where our identities and our cultures can be expressed safely, in partnership with councils and venues that understand how important our communities are to us,” said Dr. Lady Phyll, the co-founder and CEO of UK Black Pride.

Each year, UK Black Pride chooses a theme to represent its annual event, with ‘power’ being at the core in 2022.
