Getting Your Group To Manchester Pride

Manchester Pride takes over the city over the August bank holiday weekend, with a parade through the city centre on the Saturday and a ticketed party in and around the Gay Village on Canal Street. It is one of the biggest Pride celebrations in the UK and ends with a candlelit vigil on the Monday.

The city centre has road closures for the parade and around the Village, so group drop-offs are planned for points outside the closed streets.
