Dog shows, singalongs and fashion statements galore on day three of Manchester Pride 2023
If you weren't at Manchester Pride this weekend, you missed out. Big time. This year's celebrations - still one of the country's biggest LGBTQ+ events - have certainly been one for the books - and it isn’t even quite wrapped up yet.
The atmosphere in the Village across the last three days has been euphoric. At every turn there's been a party - from impromptu DJ sets down side streets and car-park raves to Canal Street discos and singalongs with some of the city's finest drag queens.

Drag queen Ginny Lemon hosted their very own dog show over on the Village Stage, providing some much-needed comic relief for those in the crowd with a sore head.
The show, which came complete with a dog assault course, was probably the best way to start the afternoon’s proceeding and made for a thoroughly entertaining show, with those in the crowd loving their demo on using the tunnel and sassy quips.
