Manchester is a city in Greater Manchester, in the north west of England (formerly in Lancashire). There is a thriving gay village centred around Canal Street, including a gay supermarket. It has been claimed that "The Gay Village probably represents the the biggest concentration of gay interests, services and businesses in Europe"[1]

Manchester Pride has been held each August since 1991.

The Cross Street Unitarian Chapel in Manchester was the first church in the UK to be given a licence to conduct civil partnerships on its premises.[2]
