Trans people, together with our cis friends and allies, have been meeting and socialising midweek in Manchester since the late 1970s. That tradition is still going strong. Whether you are completely new to this, a cross-dresser finding your feet, a full-time trans woman or somewhere in between, you are welcome to join us and find what works for you.
We have a well-established every-Wednesday pattern with two options, depending on your confidence, experience and interests.
🌈 The Village Option
For locals and regulars, visitors, novices and those who prefer scene bars and familiar locations. Please note that times are always approximate.
6:00pm to 9:00pm
You will usually find some of us in Via or Velvet on Canal Street. If you prefer an alternative venue there is The Molly House 1st floor which though prioritises folk singing and The Goose which prioritises its quiz night, Oscars and Eva.
8:00pm-ish to 11:00pm
Ladies usually meet in Iconic Bar on Richmond Street.
11:00pm-ish onwards
People usually drift back to Via on Canal Street or to The Goose, New York New York or Centre Stage all on Bloom Street.
🏙️ The City Option
I am meeting a visitor from abroad at the airport this afternoon who will join us in the evening so there will not be a daytime city option but if anyone fancies an airport jaunt and back to town on the tram they are welcome to join me, message me directly to arrange that.
6:00pm to 8:00pm
We will eat in the Moon under Water at 68-74 Deansgate M3 2FN, please let me know if you wish to join us so that I can grab a big enough table to seat everyone that wants to join us.
From 8:30pm-ish to 11:00pm-ish
We will come back to the Village to join those in Iconic Bar.
11:00pm-ish onwards
Fab Café, 109 Portland Street, M1 6DN. Not actually a café, but a 70s and 80s themed bar with a DJ.
If you have questions, message me here. You can also join our Manchester and North West networking Facebook group, The Buzz, which is private and secure. Please ask me if you would like an invitation.
Come along if you can. It is a lovely social evening, a chance to make new friends, make new memories and continue a tradition of trans people meeting in Manchester midweek for almost 50 years.
If you are a cis man, please arrange to come with one of the ladies or speak to me first so we can make sure your expectations are appropriate. We are a social group, not a dating or sexual activities group.
And honestly, how much life do any of us have left anyway, so let us spend it, when we can, doing what lights up our lives. 💜
