Pride in Trafford is a borough‑wide festival focused on queer arts and culture rather than a traditional street Pride. Centred on Waterside in Sale, it programmes theatre, comedy, cabaret, workshops and family events. The 2025 edition ran 13–18 May, coinciding with IDAHoBiT flag‑raising on opening day. Events have also extended into Altrincham, broadening borough participation. The festival partners with local creatives and organisations to develop new queer work. Pride in Trafford emphasises inclusion, access and diverse representation in its curation. Community conversations and safe‑space events sit alongside headline performances. The atmosphere is celebratory but with space for reflection and identity‑affirming storytelling. Organisers have signalled the festival will be back in May 2026. Details and programme drops are typically released in spring on their website and Instagram.
