Manchester’s Gay Village is the heart and soul of Manchester’s LGBTQ+ community. The Gay Village Party centers community, love and queer joy as part of a world-class 4-day celebration - expect cabaret, funfair rides, a silent disco and queer anthems galore.
Adding to the joy for 2025 we're bringing you a thrilling funfair, market stalls, and pop-up food vendors, making sure you can celebrate at the Gay Village Party in style.
The Gay Village Party will continue to be a vital lifeline for LGBTQ+ good causes in Greater Manchester, supporting our grants programme throughout the year.
