The largest celebration of gender diversity in the UK will be returning to Manchester this weekend with plenty of live music, workshops and festivities.
The Sparkle Weekend will once again be held in the Gay Village, with the main stage in Sackville Gardens hosting the likes of Jordan Gray, Husk, Alexa Vox, Paris Munro, Lucky Roy Singh from the House of Spice, Ben Hodge and Monopoly Phonic.
The free festival, organised by national transgender charity Sparkle, has been a pillar of the trans and gender diverse community for 18 years and will run from today until Sunday (July 7-9).
