The hugely popular Community Lane gives organisations and businesses the chance to showcase their work, spend face-to-face time with visitors, promote goods or services and carry out consultations at the heart of Manchester Pride Festival as part of the Gay Village Party. Check back soon for more information.
Each year we hire a selection of Food Traders to ensure our audiences at Manchester Pride Festival have lots of tasty options to choose from during the celebrations. With tens of thousands of people attending each day of Manchester Pride Festival, we get a lot of hungry visitors!
We're looking for some fantastic food traders to help us create the ultimate street party celebration at this year's Gay Village Party. We don't just want burgers and fries, we want food from all around the world! We've got a lot of veggies and vegans to feed, so bring along your plant-powered dishes. Sweet treats are always welcome, be it an ice cream van or a waffle wagon - we want you too.
Please check back soon for more information on when applications will go live for 2025.
Our market stalls at Community Lane offer our visitors a great selection of gifts and memorabilia. With thousands of visitors over the weekend, it's a great opportunity to sell your wares.
We’d love to see traders selling things like jackets, vintage tees, unique jewellery, alternative clothing and accessories, body wear, pet products, and more. The more out there, the better! Anything that customers are able to take home with them is always a winner.
We're also looking for products and memorabilia that people will be able to use straight away, or pop in their pockets! Think cool clothes and festival wear, memorabilia, hats, accessories and more.
Stay tuned for more information on applications for 2025.
Pride is something everyone feels proud of and can see a little bit of themselves in.
Our communities are at the heart of everything we do, and we'd love to share your Pride experiences with others.
