We’re sponsoring the Manchester LGBTQI+ Heritage Tour
We’re excited to be sponsoring and taking part in the upcoming LGBTQI+ Heritage Tour of Manchester’s iconic Gay Village, co-hosted by Manchester Pride and the LGBT Foundation in August.
Katie Fletcher and Natalie Poundall are taking part in this collaborative effort to honour the past, understand the present, and help shape the future of Manchester’s LGBTQI+ spaces.
We enjoy supporting initiatives that celebrate the many layers of our shared heritage - especially those that shine a light on voices and stories that have often gone unheard.
The tour offers a unique opportunity to explore the evolving urban and social landscape of the area, highlighting the resilience, achievements, and rich history of Manchester’s LGBTQI+ community, and delve into the stories and spaces that have shaped this vibrant neighbourhood.
We’re also sponsoring an afterparty to celebrate 50 years of LGBT foundation with drag star Ellie Diamond, with DJs food and drink.
- 07 August 2025 at 06:00 PM – 11:00 PM
- New York New York, 94-98 Bloom Street Manchester M1 3LY
