Manchester Pride invite you to join our Parade Troupe to lead the 2023 parade with our theme: Queerly Beloved!
This year’s parade theme aims to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of marriage equality in England and Wales and the huge wins for our community since, but also poses the question: how far have we really come?
As part of the Parade Troupe you will attend workshops learning costume making, prop making, dance and more. Then lead The Parade on the big day.
We ask you to be available for all of the workshops leading up to the Manchester Pride Parade as this will ensure you get the most out of the opportunity, but just let us know in advance if you will be unable to attend. Dates for workshops will are below:
