BUT WHAT’S IT ABOUT"?
Explore Manchester’s world-famous Gay Village with Josh’s LGBT+ Manchester Walking Tour!
We’ll take in Manchester’s iconic Queer monuments, touching memorials, secret street art and legendary gay pubs to tell the story of how Manchester got so Queer.
We will share stories of Manchester’s LGBT+ heroes of both the past and the present - from underground Victorian drag balls to local stars of RuPaul.
Your guide, Josh, has an MA degree specialising in Manchester’s LGBT+ history and continues to work with LGBT+ oral histories; at the end of each tour, he offers his list of insider recommendations.
It’s also a great chance to connect with like-minded people from around the world and make new friends whilst we dig into the atmosphere of Manchester’s LGBT+ heart and history.
This tour on the Queer side is a blend of history, heritage, culture and fun, perfect both for international visitors as well as locals to the city who are seeking an unforgettable afternoon.
We also offer… Northern Quarter Manchester Walking Tour:
