About
A four-day, community-led LGBTQ+ Pride celebration returning to Manchester’s Gay Village over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
Manchester Village Pride returns from Friday 28 to Monday 31 August 2026 as a four-day, community-led celebration rooted in Manchester’s Gay Village. Organised by Manchester Village Pride CIC, the programme includes live LGBTQ+ performance on the Main Stage, a Community Showcase in Sackville Gardens, queer club culture in the Dance Arena, talks, exhibitions and activity across the wider Pride Fringe. The 'No Place Like Home' parade takes place on Saturday 29 August and finishes in the Village. Monday is a free Community and Family Day with a Lifestyle and Community Expo, followed by the George House Trust Vigil at the Beacon of Hope. Paid wristbands cover the main Friday-to-Sunday programme, while the parade, Monday programme and Vigil are free. Low-income and free Essential Companion tickets are available.
