Tickets for next year’s Manchester Pride are officially on sale, following a spectacular 2025 celebration that featured 124 live performances and tens of thousands of attendees across the August bank holiday weekend.
Manchester Pride 2025 wrapped up with glowing reviews after turning the city into a celebration of LGBTQ+ culture, activism, and inclusion. With the event still fresh in people’s minds, organisers have wasted no time in launching ticket sales for the 2026 edition.
Taking place between Friday 22 and Monday 25 August, this year’s Pride featured six stages across Manchester’s Gay Village and Mardi Gras zones. Music fans were treated to performances by Nelly Furtado, Olly Alexander, and Leigh-Anne, alongside community-led showcases such as Black Pride MCR and Kulture Cabaret.
But it wasn’t just about entertainment. Core Pride events once again delivered a powerful social message. The Manchester Pride Parade brought the streets to life with messages of solidarity and empowerment, while The Rally platformed activists calling for change. The weekend concluded with the Candlelit Vigil in Sackville Gardens, a moment of reflection for lives lost to HIV and ongoing battles with stigma.

David McGovern, Chair of the Manchester Pride Board of Trustees, said: “This year’s Manchester Pride was nothing short of magical. Seeing our community and allies come together in such a vibrant and heartfelt celebration reminds us of the strength we have when we stand united and show up for Pride.”
He added: “From the incredible performances at both Mardi Gras and the Gay Village to the profound moments of reflection, Manchester Pride 2025 embodied the true spirit of love, acceptance, and resilience. We will be working hard over the next twelve months to bring you another successful Manchester Pride next year.”
Organisers have now confirmed that a limited number of ‘first release’ weekend tickets for Manchester Pride 2026 are available through ticketing platform Skiddle. These are expected to sell out quickly.
