Manchester Pride Big Weekend
Manchester Pride’s Big Weekend and Parade is Manchester’s annual lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) festival and the second largest ticketed event in the UK. Held over the August Bank holiday weekend in the city’s Gay Village, a temporary event site is created for a period 78 hours, providing a safe and secure environment with a capacity of 45 000 people. A non-stop party zone with live music and entertainment, the Big Weekend also has a serious side, having raised since 2003 over £780 000 for local LGBT and HIV organization.
Manchester Pride was in 2009 voted the Best Festival or Pride Event’ by readers of the Pink Paper - Britain’s national gay news portal - for the fourth year running.
Nine Lives Productions has successfully organized and delivered the Manchester Pride Big Weekend and Parade, in partnership with ETTG, since 2002 and has recently had its contracted renewed for a further three years
