Manchester Village Pride is a simple idea: Pride belongs to the people. Following the collapse of the previous organiser in late 2025, there was a real risk that our city's cornerstone celebration would disappear, and the Parade – something that our city has seen annually for the last 40+ years – hung in the balance. But Manchester doesn’t do "giving up."
Business owners, residents, and activists from the Gay Village came together to form Manchester Village Pride CIC.
Manchester City Council is undertaking market engagement to inform the future commissioning of a specialist Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA) safe accommodation and support service for individuals within the LGBTQ+ community.
