  • Hi guys 🫶🏻
    In preparation for Manchester Pride in August I thought I’d take you on a tour of the iconic and world famous Canal Street / Gay Village.
    Its famous for the iconic tv series Queer as Folk that was aired at the end of the 90s and was ground breaking at the time.
    We hope you enjoy and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
    HAPPY PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
    J💙B

    This was very interesting for us as we've not been for years. It's like a different place now. Looking into maybe going to Pride.

      Thanks for the comment guys. It’s changed so much especially with all the development across the canal. It’s taken on more of a family friendly vibe. Glad you found it interesting 🫶🏻🏳️‍🌈

      Awww thank you that’s really kind of you. We would say G-A-Y for a good dance. On bar is really good for the tunes too. New York New York is so camp it’s amazing! You can’t really go wrong. And I’m the morning you must go to pollen for cake it’s just off canal street at kampus.Thank you for subscribing that really does mean the world to us. ancoats and the northern quarter is gay central and really friendly. Lots of dogs 🐕 🐶 🐩 there the most trendy part of the city.
