From midday, the whole site comes alive. The Village Green brings a packed programme of live performance, LGBTQ+ music and spoken word, while The Village is your chance to connect with local community groups, charities and organisations supporting LGBTQ+ people across Trafford and beyond.
Inside, the Ballroom hosts the Manchester Queer Art Market, packed with incredible queer artists and makers, and over at Sale Library, Mini Pride returns with Curious Arts for a joyful family celebration of individuality and imagination.
Expect big energy with Lip Sync Brawl, serving rock concert vibes and competitive camp in two unmissable shows on the Plaza. Later in the day, get hands-on with Queer Diaries: Zine Making, a nostalgic collage session for LGBTQIA+ creatives, or step into your power at our Drag King Workshop in The Chambers.
Whether you’re here to dance, browse, make, perform, connect or simply soak it all in, there’s something happening around every corner.
