Get ready to experience the heart and soul of Manchester Pride Festival at Community Lane in partnership with LGBT Foundation. We're thrilled to bring back this beloved space in 2023, where community organisations, charities, and the public sector come together to create a vibrant hub of LGBTQ+ positivity. Join us in celebrating unity, liberation, and joy as we showcase the power of our diverse and resilient community.
A Space Designed for Connection
Community Lane made its triumphant debut in 2022, and we've listened to your feedback to make it even better this year. Our goal is to create an interactive and inclusive experience that caters to the diverse needs of the LGBTQ+ community. Located on Chorlton Street, Community Lane offers a peaceful retreat amidst the bustling Gay Village Party, while remaining at the heart of the action.
Unleashing the Magic
Prepare to be dazzled as Community Lane becomes a hub of excitement and inspiration. This year, we're taking it up a notch by introducing market stalls in collaboration with Manchester Markets, where you can discover unique treasures and support local artisans. Immerse yourself in our reimagined sober offering through Sober Gay Socials, and find moments of tranquillity and self-care with a variety of well-being sessions. And don't miss our brand-new 'Activism Hub,' a space dedicated to change-making initiatives that shape the future.
For All Voices, For All Hearts
At Manchester Pride, we believe in making our events accessible to all. That's why, for the first time, we're opening our arms to unfunded community groups, providing them a spot on Community Lane free of charge. We celebrate the power of unity and strive to ensure every voice is heard and represented.
Join the Celebration: Apply Now
Community Lane will be open from Saturday 26 to Monday 28 August, offering, for the first time, one-day slots and the traditional three-day weekend options. Whatever your organisation's scope and nature, there's a category for you: LGBTQ+ and HIV community groups and organisations, not-for-profit entities, independent Manchester businesses, small businesses, public sector organisations, and commercial organisations. And let's not forget our new 'unfunded LGBTQ+ community group' category, designed to empower grassroots initiatives.
