‘Fabuloso’ is the official Brighton & Hove Pride community fundraiser.

Festival tickets are valid for ‘Fabuloso’ on Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th August 2023 on Preston Park.

£2.00 charity contribution fee per ticket is added to the face value of each ticket to clearly show the minimum Pride ring-fenced allocation towards charity and community fundraising.

A maximum of 4 tickets per booker is permitted to prevent bulk buying and selling-on (touting).
Fabuloso Tickets are only available through the Pride Ticket Shop. A ticket purchased from secondary ticket sites or from ticket touts will not be valid and Pride accepts no liability for refunds.

All e-tickets booked through Pride Ticket Shops will carry the name of the person making the booking. They must be present to exchange the e-tickets for wristbands and the lead booker will need to present a photo ID.

Anyone who’s purchased from Viagogo or other secondary sites other than the Pride ticket shop should contact us at support@brighton-pride.org
