Come as you are: everybody's welcome at The Social Hub this Pride
This summer, The Social Hub is turning up the volume on what it means to truly include everyone. Across our hubs in Europe, we're hosting events that celebrate identity, community and belonging, all under our 'Everybody's Welcome' theme. Here's where to find us.
At The Social Hub, inclusivity isn't something we save for one month of the year. We organise more than 300 community activations annually, welcoming guests, locals, students and travellers of every identity, background and expression - making sure everybody truly is welcome.
But summer is when things really come alive. From Amsterdam to Barcelona, Florence to Glasgow, our hubs are hosting a lineup of Pride events, ballroom competitions, educational talks, drag performances and community gatherings that you will definitely not want to miss.
Here is your guide to what's happening this summer - and where.
The Netherlands
Amsterdam
Official World Pride Partner
The Social Hub Amsterdam City
30 July 2026 - 7 August 2026
Amsterdam is hosting World Pride this summer, and The Social Hub is right in the thick of it as an official partner and one of the city's Pride Hubs. This year's edition is extra special as it marks 25 years of marriage equality in the Netherlands, and the city is pulling out all the stops. Two weeks, two vibes: the first focused on high-energy celebration and nightlife, the second shifting to a humanitarian and educational programme. Our Amsterdam City hub is at the heart of it all, with events on the terrace, in the Auditorium, in the Parool theatre and in the lobby area. As always, alongside our own programme, our spaces are home to a range of community organisations and their events, including Asian Pride, African Queer History and Ace Talks by the Nederlandse Organisatie Aseksualiteit.
