Limo Hire for Manchester Pride

Manchester is known across the world as the birthplace of the industrial revolution, the home of the world’s most famous football club, Manchester United, and the setting for the world’s longest running TV soap opera, Coronation Street. But there is another element of ‘Mancunian’ life that has developed over the past 200 years and continues to do so today - Manchester’s gay heritage. The Canal Street we know and love today looked very different 100 years ago. Closet pubs and dark streets have made way for out and proud bars, restaurants and cafés.

So, it may come as no surprise that Manchester is also home to one of the biggest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender – LGBT – celebrations in the world, the Manchester Pride Parade. Manchester Pride is an annual festival by and for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, working towards the involvement of different sectors of the community, and raising funds for LGBT & HIV organisations. It was initially started in 1990 on the August Bank holiday to raise money to support those affected by HIV. In 2003, ‘EuroPride’ established the festival as a ten-day event involving a range of activity including sport, film, debating and campaigning, arts and entertainment, parade and the traditional Bank Holiday activity – the Manchester Mardi Gras.

This year the event runs from Friday 15 to Monday 25 August 2008. The Big Weekend is 78 hours of celebrations from 6pm on Friday 22nd August until midnight on Monday 25th August. If you would like to check out the event but are not sure of how to get there, why not hire a luxury limo to take you to there. Whether you come for the parade, on Saturday 23rd, or stay for a couple of days, it’s up to you. Travelling by limo means that you are free of the hassles of driving and worrying about trying to find a park.

As part of its fundraising activities, the event charges commercial organisations for having a float in the parade. The parade is a great opportunity to advertise a business in front of 250,000 people. By giving your support to Manchester Pride, you're helping a great range of charities and community groups around Greater Manchester. Many couldn't exist without your contributions from attending the Big Weekend and giving to the donation buckets through the year.
