Manchester Pride - Mardi Gras

It’s big. It’s bold. It’s bathed in glitter. Welcome to Mardi Gras, the brand-new unmissable addition to your Manchester Pride celebrations!

Taking over Depot Mayfield for two full days of high-energy and high-glam, this is your favourite festival’s favourite festival—and it’s going to serve.

Headlined by Olly Alexander + Leigh-Anne + Billy Porter, world-class artists, iconic drag royalty, DJs, cabaret, and performances will leave you gagged.

We’re talking three massive indoor stages, secret day raves, exclusive VIP hideouts, and a food village to keep you fuelled all weekend. Expect the unexpected - whether you’re throwing shapes Behind the Butchers Curtain, living your best life at Freight Island’s performance stages, or basking in the glory of the Depot’s headline acts.

This is not a replacement for the Gay Village Party - so don’t panic! There’s still a whole world of queer joy happening in the Gay Village, so if you want the best of both worlds remember your Gay Village Support Band is included for FREE with your Mardi Gras ticket.
