21 years of Pride celebrated with a new exhibition at the Lowry

This year Manchester Pride will be celebrating 21 years of Pride events in the city with a commemorative exhibition at The Lowry, Salford Quays.

This fascinating collection of images, memorabilia, stories and more will document the festival’s rich history and explore the impact the festival has had on individuals, community groups and charities in the region.

From its humble beginnings as a collection of bring-and-buy stalls outside the Rembrandt Pub in 1991 to its current inception as one of Europe’s largest and liveliest celebrations, Manchester Pride has grown and developed with its audience to become recognised as one of the UK and Europe’s best Pride festivals.

Pride-goers from the past 21 years have shared their memories and collectables with us, so come along and take a trip down memory lane in the run up to a 21st birthday celebration like you’ve never seen before.

Saturday 4 June - Sunday 16 October
The Lowry
Price: Free
