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:

Up for a giggle? Up for a bit of a ha ha evening? You don’t need to paint a smiley face on your tummy and go out naked into the cold streets of Manchester in the wintertime to do that. Just around the corner from our hostels is a lovely little place called the Frog and Bucket which is jammed full of comedians and booze and good times. So get your glad rags on and put yourself there! It’ll be a laugh!

We love music.

To help you on your music journey, we have decided to offer you two special discount deals (but you can’t use them at the same time!!!)

Take your pick:

1) Stay at one of our hostels. Keep your ‘voucher’ (that little piece of paper you get on check in). Pick another of our hostels. Get in touch and tell them you want to say, quoting ref: NEXT and they’ll give you a bed for £5.WOW!!!

2) Decide to see a band with a mate. Get in touch with one of our hostels and quote ref: GIG and we’ll knock 50% off your mate’s bill. You just need to bring your gig ticket as proof!

Note: If we get really busy, we might not be able to fit you in so get in touch early to guarantee your bed. We hold the right to decide not to let you stay. but we’re sure that won’t happen
