Leeds Pride Parade Code of Conduct
Theme and Content Guidelines
Leeds Pride is an event centred around LGBTQ+ Equality, and participants are requested to honour this theme by refraining from promoting causes unrelated to it.

Parade
Procedure
Once the Parade begins, entries should not stop spontaneously but only halt if directed by Leeds Pride officials, emergency services, obstacles in the path, or for safety reasons
Safety
and Restrictions
Items like fireworks, flammable goods, welding, flares, smoke flares, glitter guns, sparklers, and similar items are prohibited due to potential crowd safety concerns, including panic and crushes. Clear communication of these restrictions is crucial to all group members on the day and beforehand.
Litter
and Cleaning
Adherence to Leeds City Council’s guidelines on Litter and Cleaning is mandatory. Unapproved distribution of printed material during the Parade may result in individuals or groups being asked to leave. This includes flyers, brochures, postcards, business cards, balloons, stickers, and other promotional materials.

Guidelines
As a public event for all ages, the Parade prohibits nudity, simulated sex or acts, or any clothing causing distress. Offensive material, including discriminatory content, is not allowed. Groups denying the rights of others will not be permitted.

Religious material is acceptable but must be respectful, positive, and considerate of others’ beliefs. Clearance from Leeds Pride is required for any religious material or imagery.
Reporting
Injuries
In case of injuries, the Float manager must promptly inform a Leeds Pride Official within 30 minutes after the Parade’s end.
Application
and Participation
The Parade Manager reserves the right to reject any application for participation, and additional rules or restrictions may be imposed.
Code of
Conduct
Failure to comply with the Code of Conduct may lead to the removal of a group, individual(s), or float from the form-up area or parade route if their behaviour is deemed offensive, poses risks, violates the code of conduct, or hinders parade progress.
