Manchesterelegant british culture

One hundred years ago, Canal Street was filled with dark, closeted pubs and shady, unwelcoming windows. Now, it shines as a beacon of celebration and tolerance in Manchester. The gay village on this vibrant street is a must-see for any visit to the city. Beautiful, out and proud, the bars and clubs that line the canal successfully usher in more than 20,000 visitors each weekend. The hit English TV series Queer as Folk was set on this lively street as well. And if you’re here in the summer months, make sure to check out the liberating and always electrifying Manchester Pride celebration.
