31st August 2024: Herts Pride 2024, Cassiobury Park, Watford, 12:00 – 22:00 Click for more info!
We are proud of our achievements in having established an annual event where everyone is welcome to attend and celebrate diversity in Hertfordshire.
Herts Pride invites people of all races, faiths, genders, sexualities, and abilities, to join in and show their support for our wonderful local LGBTQ+ community.
Despite great progress being made towards true equality, there is still so much more we can, and need, to do. LGBTQ+ people face discrimination every single day, and now more than ever, Pride is a time for us to increase awareness of these issues and join together to solve them.
However, it is also a time for us to celebrate the vibrant, dynamic, and powerful LGBTQ+ communities of Hertfordshire.
All proceeds from ticket sales, donations, sponsors and supporters goes towards the operational costs of running the Herts Pride annual event.

Watford Area Humanists was established in 2008 to:-
- Promote an understanding of Humanism in South West Hertfordshire.
- Develop programmes to address the non-religious needs of children, families and people living and working in the South West Hertfordshire area.
- Provide social, educational and cultural activities for humanists.
- Provide a base for the development of Humanist philosophy.
The Watford Area Humanists Group is a partner of Humanists UK (formerly the British Humanists Association). Humanism is a set of beliefs:
- Human beings can lead good lives without being ruled by fear or superstition.
- Based upon impartial consideration of available evidence, that there are no gods, creator beings or afterlife.
- Being happy and doing good for oneself and others in the one life we all have.
- Living life on the basis of behaving towards others as you would like them to behave towards you.
- Respect for all other life forms and the natural environment on our planet Earth.
