However, the disabled car parking spaces in the Town Hall car park are available free of charge to blue badge holders.

There’s also street parking available and you can find out more information about parking your car via the Birmingham Pride website.

Birmingham Pride Sites and Parade are accessible via train when using Birmingham New Street and the city’s central train station.

If you’re visiting the Pride Sites, you could also choose to use Birmingham Moor Street Station while to get to Centenary Square you’ll need to go via Birmingham Snow Hill.

It’s a short walk to get to most sites from the train stations – Moor Street (15 mins approx.), Snow Hill (20 mins), Birmingham New Street (10 mins away from most sites).

To travel to Centenary Square via tram, you can visit the Town Hall and Grand Central stops, the two closest to it.

The Pride site is closest to the Grand Central stop and it will take approximately 10 minutes to walk between the two.

The website says: “Each Tram has 2 disabled priority bays. Mobility scooter users require a pass to ride.”

It adds: “Public Transport users with visual impairments can request an RNIB key fob which gives them real time audio information of their location via a phone app. The fobs are enabled on the majority of public transport in Birmingham and the West Midlands.”
