Afflecks Create 'Pride At Home' Kits For Super-charged Alt Pride Celebrations

As Manchester Pride can’t take to the streets this year, the city will be celebrating at home via the Alternative Pride Festival” – a whole, incredible spectrum of online content being broadcast across a variety of platforms across Pride weekend. The Gay Pride Shop (the biggest Pride and gender identity shop in the UK) and other Afflecks traders have come together to make sure that any Pride celebrations taking place at home can be as colourful and utterly fabulous as those that usually happen on our streets.

The Afflecks “Pride at Home” kit contains everything that you could possibly need for a loud, proud, festival experience in your own home. Everything in the pictured kit (below) is available from Afflecks, and the emporium is open from every day till Pride so festival revellers can explore all three floors and pick up everything pictured. From rainbow glitter and disco bum bags to snuggly socks & mug -there’s something for every stage of the weekend celebrations…

The Pride at Home Kit shopping trail…

Enter Afflecks on the ground floor via the Church Street and head straight to Luna - the first shop you’ll see straight ahead. In this independent, youth-focused festival fashion store you can pick up your key accessories:

Afflecks has always been a beacon for the LGBTQ+ community as well as a huge supporter of Pride, and the emporium is now home to the biggest Pride and gender identity shop in the UK. The Gay Pride Shop on the second floor is newly expanded (despite COVID-19) and stocks an absolute treasure trove of LGBTQ+ gifts, accessories, clothing, party gear, jewellery and more.

Afflecks even have one of the kits to give away to a lucky winner – head to their socials to enter (IG: @afflecks_manchester).

Pride might be cancelled this year –but love is not!
