LGBT BEACH SPORTS DAY
Manchester City Beach

Now in its second year Manchester’s City Beach “Castlesands” will play host to a sports day for the North West’s Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Trans (LGBT) Community. Organised by OutdoorLads, the UK’s largest outdoor activities charity and Pride Sports, the UK’s only LGBT sports development organisation, this event aims to celebrate and promote LGBT sports in the North West.

None-competitors are also welcome to attend and enjoy this unique atmosphere complemented by a beach bar and barbeque.

The competition will start at 12 noon on Saturday May 21st and will be followed by a beach party starting at 5pm.

The sports day will form part of 6 weeks of activities as part of Castlesands, 120 tons of washed sand on Manchester’s iconic Castlefield Arena, which opens to the public on April 22nd.
