Pride in Trafford 2023

Info

Pride in Trafford takes place from 17 to 20 May 2023.

Join us for this year's gloriously camp, queer and fun festival to celebrate the very best of all things LGBTQ+ across the borough!

We will run a small programme of one-off comedy, workshops, dance and theatre shows showcasing local and upcoming LGBTQ+ artists and performers. During the festival, they’ll be a ceremonial flag raising at Sale Town Hall, to mark IDAHOBIT. Now in the fifth fabulous year, Pride in Trafford brings together an exciting and diverse range of established and up-and-coming performers, from comedy and cabaret to theatre and movement, whose work represents and showcases what it means to them to be out and proud in a changing and challenging world.
More than 50% of our events are free to attend and/or participate in.
