At Manchester Pride, we passionately celebrate the vibrant and diverse tapestry of modern families. Whether LGBTQ+ families, single-parent households, same-sex parents, adoptive families, foster families, or multi-family homes, every family deserves to be seen, heard, and cherished. Through Family Pride MCR, our mission is to ensure that the stories we share with children reflect the beautiful world they live in—a world where every family is celebrated and embraced.
Family Pride MCR is a guide to the many safe and welcoming spaces across the city for families of all kinds to come together and express themselves freely. The guide allows you to find events that offer children and families a friendly space to meet, connect and celebrate pride in a way that’s designed just for them.
This year, we’re delighted to bring you another incredible Family Pride MCR event in partnership with Proud 2 B Parents and The Great Northern, along with many other brilliant events for LGBTQ+ parents and their families!

Family Tickets FAQs
We are a family of 5, but the family ticket only covers a family of four. What is the best course of action?+
Your family ticket covers 2 adults and 2 children, or 1 adult and 3 children. You will need to buy an additional adult ticket to cover the additional family member.
Can I enter with a family ticket even though I'm/we're only [1/2] adults?+
Yes. With a Family Ticket, you will still be able to gain access to the Gay Village Party, regardless of the attendance of children.
Is there an age restriction on tickets?+
Nope! Gay Village Party tickets do not have any age restrictions and customers of all ages are welcome to join the event. However, there may be some events or activities which may be restricted to over 18s and ID checks will be carried out at the entrance to event areas. If you’re attending with your family, then we do have a Family ticket option available to purchase from our ticket agent.
