Levenshulme Pride 2026 England

Info

Levenshulme Pride takes place from the 14th to 16th August 2026.

Levenshulme Pride was started because a couple walking down the A6 holding hands were called ‘faggots’. In an instant, a pleasant walk in the sunshine became a homophobic hate crime. Just like that. Very casual. No big deal. Except we think it is a big deal. There was a discussion online where people were both appalled and supportive. What could be done? Well, Levenshulme Pride is what can be done. Levenshulme is a diverse, supportive, energetic and wonderful place to live, but it faces challenges. What better way to counteract hatred than to show the pride we have in our community, the pride we have as LGBT+ people, the pride we have as we come together as a community to celebrate the variety of people living here and the strength that comes from that? After nine years we have built to become the largest free local Pride in Greater Manchester with 36 venues and locations.
