UK

PinkUk knows its stuff when it comes to the UK. Over the last decade, the UK LGBT festival and hotel scene has boomed, proving resilient against the downturn facing some of the traditional scene.

No longer do tourists have just a half dozen of undeniably fabulous destinations: London, Brighton, Manchester, Edinburgh etc but festivals and LGBT friendly venues all over the country. The UK’s big hit cities are still offering the action and specialist options for the discerning LGBT traveller whether its good old fashioned pubs, queer club land, the fetish or trans scenes or pop and cabaret.

UK readers, the world is your oyster on your own doorstep and you know it.
