Manchester Pride Big Weekend 28th-31st August 2009!

Yes ladies and gents get your glad rags on because Manchester Pride is back!

The event is mainly held in the gay village in and around Canal Street – home of Manchester’s massive gay scene – and includes a big carnival parade and four days filled with tons of events and activities.

The ever popular Kings and Queens competition has this year stepped up to the Main Stage! Bigger and better for 2009, the final of the competition sees the opening of the Big Weekend in true camp style!

The big colourful parade of floats and walking groups will be at 1pm on Saturday (29th) and is not to be missed!

Over the rest of the weekend expect lots of live music including The Human League, Bananarama, Kid British, The Whip, Kelly Rowland, an Alphabeat DJ set and oh yes… the one and only Peter Andre on Monday (30th)! There will also be funfair rides, dancing arenas, chill-out and family areas, market & community stalls and much much more throughout the whole weekend!

All this is a huge celebration of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and attracts more than 70,000 people every year!

Make sure to be there, experience this impressive community and enjoy the variety of entertainment and activities! Get more information on the official Manchester Pride 2009 website:

Oh the joy of living in Manchester, crazy fans descend upon the city like it is the last match they will ever see everytime Manchester United play…

Not to forget, Manchester is also host to many Manchester City matches, they always seem to be overshadowed by the premier league winners Manchester United…

There are a few websites that you can try getting tickets from, but going to a Manchester United game is a unique experience due to the enormity of the ground, and the atmosphere is something you can only truley understand in person….

But if you cant get a ticket to any matches (boo hoo), Manchester is still a great place to come and watch the football, with loads of proper Manc boozers, full of that football atmosphere (loud mancs screaming football chants etc) it’s definatley worth coming to see. Be prepared to hear foul language and get covered in beer.. Warning not for the easily offended!!
