Manchester Pride
The Highlight of our Summer
This year the Lifestyle Expo forms part of a new Indoor Arena. By day the Indoor Arena will showcase the best of Manchester's LGBT organisations, charities and community groups with the Lifestyle Expo. By night the Indoor Arena will be transformed in to a high-energy dance arena.
The Expo is an indoor exhibition space designed so the public can find out about community groups, their health, sports clubs, legal advice and much more. There are usually over 50 exhibitors covering a wide range of organisations. The site is hugely popular over the Big Weekend and stands fill up fast.
Each stall is 3m x 3m, tables and chairs are available on site by paying a deposit. We have a limited number of locations where we can offer electrical power.
The dates for the Big Weekend 2013 are Friday 23 August - Monday 26 August, the trading days will be Saturday 24, Sunday 25 and Monday 26 August. Trading hours are Sat/Sun 11am - 5pm and Mon 11am - 3pm.
