TheGay VillageMCR
Isolation NHS Marathon
Fundraising for NHS Charities Together
Story
Manchester's Gay Village, its bars, entertainers and widely diverse population have always had a talent for turning their hands toward charitable needs. In these unprecedented times, we see ourselves as a global community, not just our Village - so let's do what we do best and put on a good ol' party!
With the support of venues and business owners, independent acts and community groups, we are holding Manchester Gay Village's first ever live streamed Marathon; showcasing our diverse community in all its splendour and glory.
You can look forward to having a 'Lite Bite' with the Village Bakers, where they'll take you some brunch ideas to make whilst bored in isolation. We are also joined by some LEGENDS of the drag and DJ scene - and this will be happening over a 13 hour period!!
With a sprinkling of hosting from the one and only Danny Beard (Britain's Got Talent), here's the line up of all those wonderful people who have agreed to donate their time so that our Village can show our NHS Staff and victims of Covid-19 that our community will always stand by them.
