Gay City GuideManchester

Manchester is famous in the LGBT+ community for the Gay Village, an area in the city centre surrounding Canal Street with a high concentration of gay bars, clubs, restaurants as well as gay-friendly hotels. Almost all LGBT venues of Manchester are easily accessible by foot, making Manchester it a unique nightlife experience for gay, bi, trans and queer people, where one can easily hop from one bar to another.

Besides the big Manchester Pride festival, which takes place over three days in August, the Manchester Gay Village hosts special events throughout the year such as Bear, Trans, Rubber weekends and many more.
