Manchester Pride 2025: a quick guide to the best events and how to get tickets
From all-night parties with queer icon pop stars to the poignant candle-lit vigil for HIV/AIDS, Manchester Pride is a jam-packed four-day weekend bursting with colour, fun, inclusivity, love and respect. It's an infectious vibrant atmosphere that culminates with the end of the summer. As well as the main parade of fabulous floats that wind their way around the city centre, there are plenty of stages dotted around the city with acts from the likes of Danny Beard to B*Witched, and many many more, plus secret day raves, silent discos, cabaret and DJs. Mardis Gras Saturday 23 - Sunday 24 August 2025, 12pm- 11pm Depot Mayfield, Manchester One of the biggest events of the whole weekend is the two-day party of Mardis Gras. It's a brand new event that pays homage to the history of Manchester Pride, which was once known by this name. It's a big mash-up of fun with multiple stages; performances include DJs, drag, cabaret and all-round celebration of LGBT+ culture – so you can expect acts such as drag artist Danny Beard, singers Tulisa and Olly Alexander, plus even fashionista Gok Wan. All Mardi Gras tickets include full weekend access to the Gay Village Party. Buy tickets here. Manchester Pride Parade: Saturday 23 August, 12pm Proudly marching through the city, the parade is full of fabulously imagined and designed floats and is one of the pillars of the Manchester Pride weekend. It will begin near the Beetham Tower then head past Canal Street in the Gay Village, the heart of the city's LGBT+ community, towards Fairfield Street. This year's theme for the event is 'love' – recognising love as a source of strength and resilience for LGBT+ people and helping queer people have the courage to be themselves. Each year, the parade attracts thousands from the community along with allies and, as well as coming together, it's also an opportunity to call for equality. In 2018, Manchester Pride made history by becoming the first UK organisation to incorporate the black and brown stripes into the rainbow flag, ensuring representation for LGBT+ people of colour. Tickets are not required. Gay Village Party: Saturday 23 - Monday 25 August, 5pm-2am The Gay Village As the physical and historical heart of the city's Pride celebrations, the Gay Village Party is at the centre of the community spirit here too. Spanning the entire four days of the event, it takes place across two stages: The Alan Turing Stage, dedicated to the scientist and code-breaker who worked at the city's university and The Indoor Arena for late night dance and electric tunes. Expect queer anthems galore from Nineties and Noughties pop princess icons from B*Witched to Diana Vickers and Samantha Mumba. There's also cabaret, funfair rides, a silent disco, pop-up parties, bars and food vans, Manchester Pride Gay Village Party ticket prices include a £2.50 contribution to the Community Fund that supports the Manchester Pride charity grants programme. These tickets do not include a Mardi Gras pass. Candlelit Vigil: Monday 25 August, 9pm Sackville Gardens This moving annual event takes place on the final day and pays respect to those who lost their lives to HIV/AIDS and who were wrongly stigmatised. It provides a poignant end to days of partying, with a moment of reflection that brings the LGBT+ community and its allies together, with row upon row of flickering candles. No tickets are needed. Family Pride: Saturday 23 August, 12pm-6pm The Great Northern Pride is of course for all the family, and Manchester Pride welcomes families of all shapes and sizes across the spectrum, celebrating that there's no one size fits all when it comes to families. Working with proud2bparents, the entire space has been designed with children in mind and is a place to connect with other families, along with a whole host of events designed just for children and families, from story-telling, workshops, dance sessions, craft activities, sports and a special parade viewing area too. Little ones can be entertained for hours with a pop-up book shop with LGBT-themed books and a sand-pit. Family Pride is a free event; .

First it was family, now it's a feud. But even in meltdown, Brand Beckham is raking it in
What is 'Brand Beckham'? I don't mean to question the very idea of a celebrity brand – far from it. In fact, part of the reason that celeb-watching phrases like 'the brand' and 'controlling the narrative' have gone completely mainstream is because of David and Victoria Beckham. So ubiquitous is the professionalisation of celebrity these days, and so media-literate is the public, that it's hard to remember just how revolutionary the Beckhams were in British culture back in the day. Twenty-five years ago, nobody except some rarefied elite publicist wanged on about narratives. But now everyone knows how to read an influencer. Almost all celebrities are regarded primarily as people who are selling something. Furthermore, people act like mis-selling a lifestyle is worse than several major financial crimes. Anyway, back to the brand. What is the Beckham brand? Not their many specific product brands, nor the many other ones to which they lend their images for advertising. The thing I'm talking about is more like a movie star's screen persona. The unifying characteristic, the theme that permeates all their roles, the magic that fans go back for. In the case of the Beckhams, the brand is really their family. Two became six. In the more distant past, this meant Victoria and David selling news of their pregnancies to OK! magazine, then selling the first baby photos and so on. In the age of Instagram, as their children have grown up, it has meant constantly tending this idyllic image by posting private family moments, having everyone show up en masse for the launch of each other's football seasons/fashion shows/face primers/food lines/50th birthday marathons, and dutifully sending daily public messages of love, support and thanks to each other across social media platforms where others can see them. Whether it's family or business – and sometimes it isn't entirely clear where the dividing line is – it's all very much the family business. As distilled in David's Netflix documentary – self-commissioned, naturally – the message is that no matter what triumph or disaster comes their way, the Beckham family are about each other. Any adversity is folded into their story and ends up being repurposed into (lucrative) triumph because this is a family that sticks together, and which draws its strength from that. It's aspirational and sometimes charming. It has worked. So what happens when a gaping hole is blown in the idyll? In some of the most eye-popping showbiz news of the summer, it has emerged beyond all doubt that one of the family – firstborn Brooklyn – wants nothing to do with the others. If the idea of a feud was plausibly deniable back when Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, got married three years ago, it was harder to maintain when the pair didn't show up for any of David's 50th birthday celebrations this May. It is now impossible, following Brooklyn and Nicola's decision to post to Instagram huge numbers of photos of their very recent wedding vow renewal ceremony. (Vow renewals: another part of modern celeb culture that didn't really happen before they happened in magazine buy-ups or on social media.) Details of the lavish big day? The ceremony was officiated by Nicola's billionaire father, Nelson, and she wore her mother's wedding dress. Oh, and not a single member of the Beckham family was there, and it's said they only found out about it by reading it online. Questions abound, from various sides of the fence. To a list of occupations which already includes footballer, photographer, model, monograph author and chef, is Brooklyn adding hostage? How can the Beckhams bear the pain of rejection? Or do people really cut themselves off from highly functional families? One of Nicola's friends who attended the ceremony posted in praise of having 'the guts to walk away' from 'a toxic family'. Victoria's own self-commissioned Netflix documentary was due to come out this autumn (executive producer: David Beckham). How on earth is it going to spin this? Anything other than four hours of open-heart soul-searching is going to look a bit 'Tractor production up in Volgograd!' The cautionary sadness is that these questions can't really be considered invasive because they relate to a show the Beckhams have eagerly invited us to watch at every possible moment. The family has so assiduously cultivated the public engagement with their internal dynamics, choosing daily to live out loud across social media. For better – but now, for worse. It feels a little much to slap the adjective 'Shakespearean' on a story which involves a guy who once included the worst picture ever taken of an elephant in a coffee-table book of his own photography (launch party held at Christie's London). But there is certainly a tragic irony that social media, which the Beckhams have hitherto controlled so masterfully – has been the place that exposed their schisms. They were undone by omission, given that one of the other things our first family have embodied is a complete shift in showbiz journalism. So much entertainment coverage now comes from parsing who is or isn't tagged in Instagram posts, who has stopped following who, who omitted to like this or that. And anyone can do this. It's a form of mass Kremlinology. At the peak of their tabloid fame – or the first peak, perhaps we should say now – it became commonplace to suggest that in the modern era, the Beckhams were our real royal family. They seemed a reaction against all that old blood, that nepo privilege, that public repression of private truth. But now? Well, perhaps some of the plotlines are converging. Perhaps the House of Windsor and the House of Beckham are not so different after all. Marina Hyde is a Guardian columnist

However, some fans were not happy with the casting choice as droves of disgruntled users took to social media to complain. One user stated: "Right, so who in the Strictly production team signed up Thomas Skinner?!"

A second stated: "I think it's great Thomas Skinner is going to be on Strictly and definitely a superb signing for common sense and decency." The Sun previously approached representatives for Strictly Come Dancing and Thomas Skinner for comment.
