Legendary photographer Martin Parr teamed up with Bristol Pride and Bristol Museums to showcase a retrospective of his photos of the city’s annual Pride festival.

Images in the exhibition capture all the different walks of life that come to celebrate and protest at Bristol Pride.

Martin Parr explained that: “I have photographed over four Prides and it is always one of the best days for shooting in the Bristol calendar …. It is fantastic how Pride marches are now enjoyed by so many people. This would not have been the case when these marches started”.

Martin Parr died 6th December 2025. Obituary.
