I had an amazing time and met some wonderfull people at this event. It was my first time dressed in public and I was terrified but I felt compleetly comfortable the whole time I was there. I thouroughly enjoyed the act's and all the staff were friendly, helpful and bubbly. I hope to go back againg and will be booking a hotel just as soon I know when the next years dates are going to be. Shona |

The final day was fabulous with music and comedy ive been touched and overwhelmed by the whole Sparkle event i never belonged to anything over the years of being alone and now ive got a family, friends and people to talk to a bigger network to engage in. Im truly touched by the Sparkle event and looking forward to returning next year to expand on everything. The closing acts made me feel special to be apart of this fabulous event the sadness in my heart was from its all ending but the love in my heart will make me be back next year . Thank you to you all Susan x well and I |

I was my first night out dressed. It was great out! Although I went on my own, I was never really alone. People were very friendly and welcoming. Plenty of girls and Rgs who come up to you and hang out with you. How good is that! I only did the Saturday night, but will do two nights next year.

Sparkle 2022 was wonderful as always, the weather helped and it was great to see many friends again. I reckon it was quieter than previous years? My only comment would be that, hard as I tried I could not find an agenda of activities anywhere. No of us knew what was going on, and none of us could fine any agenda for what was happening in the park. Hence, we did 2 brief tours of the park and went back to bask in the sun. The security queue was very off putting!!! Was there a Miss Sparkle this year?? ( Or is that too politically incorrect these days!) The lack of stands and vendors in the park was also disappointing, it seems the 'little guys' may have been priced out of it?? In any event, Sparkle was wonderful, meeting so many friends was great, the weather fantastic so thank you to the organizers. My suggestions would be to have an agenda, let people know what is going on and remember this is a 'trans' event. You cannot be 'all things to everyone'! But it was great and will be back next year, for my 10th Sparkle! |

I only had a stroll around Canal Street, I didn't quite have the courage to go into any pubs. There were alot of people out and about. One thing I will mention is that it was impossible to get an Uber, and extremely difficult to get a taxi. When I finally did get one, the driver told me he had come up from Leeds, there was such a shortage here. It turns out that the Sparkle weekend was on the same weekend as Eid, and alot of Uber/taxi drivers in Manchester are Muslim, so they stay home with their families to celebrate.

Sparkle is a wonderful celebration of everything Trans - and a great place to meet up with friends from around the country and make new ones. The Park event itself is great value (being free) as are the bars of Canal St, but hotel prices are high as is local parking. However I'll still be back next year! The stage acts in the Park seemed rather better than previous years, but I was uncertain about moving Miss/Mr Sparkle from the stage to Churchills which meant the audience was very small and the event went almost unnoticed. I didn't go to the Ball after a previous poor experience, sadly from reports of those who left it and came to Canal St it suffered once again from poor organisation and poor food.
