Manchester Village Pride 2026

Manchester Village Pride returns for its bank-holiday weekend across 28-31 August 2026, with eurodance favourites Cascada and DJ Sammy added to a lineup that already includes Nadine Coyle and Danny Beard, plus returning names like Booty Luv, Big Brovaz and the Freemasons featuring Katherine Ellis. The 2026 theme is 'No Place Like Home,' and the parade marches through the Gay Village on Saturday, 29 August.

Events spread across the Alan Turing Stage and Village Stage at Sackville Gardens, a Dance Arena celebrating Manchester's queer club culture, plus a Lifestyle and Community Expo and a candlelit vigil hosted by George House Trust on the Monday. It's a community-led, non-profit event - ticket proceeds support LGBTQ+ charities including George House Trust and the Albert Kennedy Trust, and the whole Gay Village becomes one connected festival site for the weekend.
