Community stage at Pride 2026 will showcase local Doncaster talent

Doncaster dancers, drag queens and performers will show off their talent on the community stage.

Doncaster Pride always has a range of wonderfully diverse acts across their stages who travel from across the nation to entertain eager crowds.

But the Community Stage has a certain magic about it as it is exclusively made up of Doncaster acts.

This year people can expect home grown talent to show off their skills in the form of dance, drag and even a ukulele player.

Aiden Wager, Trustee of Doncaster Pride spoke to us about why this stage is important.

He said: “We are thrilled to welcome Dame Ida to host the Community Stage this year.

“The Doncaster drag queen will be joined by up and coming performer Stella Versailles, the duo will be entertaining the crowds from 12pm to 7pm.

“We are lucky to be joined by dancers from local schools, acrobats and some great singers.

“It is really important to us to give Doncaster artists a place to perform and show off their amazing talents.”

A spokesperson for Pride wrote: “ This stage is all about celebrating the incredible talent we have right here in our local community.

“Our performers come from all walks of life, representing different generations, backgrounds, identities and experiences—but they all have one thing in common… they’re ready to put on an unforgettable show!”

The Community Stage is a family friendly space and children will love Ukulele Bailey and Dancisco performances.

“We always want there to be a space where everyone can feel comfortable and feel safe,” Aiden continued.

“Pride is for everyone.”

Doncaster Radio Roadshow will also be joining the community stage this year brining great music and vibes in between acts.

Other performers include Parly B, Just Marcus, Arabesque Dance School, PQA Doncaster, Theatre Squad UK, Body Rockers, Meg Pierrepont and Darcy Rose.

“We want to give a massive thank you to all of the acts on the Community Stage this year,” Aiden said.

“Thank you for volunteering your time, sharing your skills and supporting Pride.”

Pride 2026 will be on August 8 - there is not long left to buy tickets, you can get yours here.
