Manchester Pride Festival, which brings thousands of people onto the streets of Manchester each year, has revealed its huge programme of events and activities with an iconic theme for 2024 as the Manchester Bee takes pride of place.

And for good reason, to pay homage to the legacy of support found within the city, Manchester Pride Festival is back with a buzz as the iconic worker bee takes centre stage in the theme for 2024 – ‘Buzzin’ to be Queer – A Hive of Progress.’
