What time does Manchester parade start, who’s headlining the Gay Village party, how do you get a wristband? All your Manchester Pride 2024 questions answered
In just a few weeks time, the city centre will be filled with vibrant colour, as the rainbow carpet is rolled out for the start of Pride - one of the largest in the country. The annual four-day LGBTQ+ celebration takes place over the August bank holiday weekend in locations across Manchester.
Outside of the ticketed Gay Village Party, there will also be free events including the annual parade through the city centre, Superbia, Youth Pride MCR, and Family Pride MCR. Speaking about the 2024 theme, Mark Fletcher, CEO of Manchester Pride, said: “This year we will celebrate our theme of ‘Buzzin’ to be Queer - A Hive of Progress’ and see the ‘Progress Bee’ become more than a symbol, instead becoming a call to action.
This year, there will be three different stage areas situated across the Gay Village. The Village Stage will occupy the outdoor car park on Sackville Street in the middle of the event site, The Gaydio Dance Arena inside a covered car park space, and The Alan Turing Stage in Sackville Gardens. As in previous years, £2.50 from every ticket sold this year will be donated to the Manchester Pride Community Fund, with the money raised going towards grants for LGBTQ+ causes and projects across Greater Manchester.Saturday Day Ticket - £41There are also family tickets for Saturday and Sunday available for £19 each - these require four tickets, consisting of two adults and two children, being bought together for £76 here.
