Kicking off the Bank Holiday weekend, we stand together to protest against discrimination and prejudice, with inspiring speeches and performances from LGBTQ+ rights activists.

The Rally brings together activists, thought leaders, and community members to reflect on our shared history, acknowledge the work still to be done, and inspire action with tangible next steps. Through impactful speeches, performances, and discussions, The Rally serves as a platform for learning, a demonstration against systemic injustices, and a catalyst for change.

With Greater Manchester’s long-standing legacy as a pioneering city championing equality, this event continues our mission to amplify LGBTQ+ voices and drive progress—because Pride has always been, and will always be, a protest.
