What is the Manchester Pride Parade?

With over 90 entries each year, the Manchester Pride Parade is the highlight of the Big Weekend and the biggest Parade in Manchester! The Parade is a fun way to celebrate the LGBT community in Greater Manchester, the UK and overseas, and raise awareness of the issues around HIV.

What is the theme of the Parade?

For 2011, the Manchester Pride Parade will be celebrating the 'Best of British' so start thinking about your entry now! We're encouraging you to think outside the box and be as creative as possible bearing in mind the diversity of British society and culture.

From fashion (Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen) and sport (Louis Hamilton, David Beckham, Amir Khan), to music (The Beatles, The Spice Girls, Queen) and film (Charlie Chaplin, Harry Potter) there is a wealth of ideas to choose from, and a number of different ways in which to celebrate British culture.
