I was only able to go on the Saturday this year but still had a brilliant time...met up with lots of friends, treated myself to a new wig ( the stalls were as good as ever) I did think it was a bit quieter than usual when I arrived but it picked up in the afternoon. The acts in the park were great especially Amymichelle and T-Party, as was the Miss Sparkle and Miss Golden Sparkle competitions. it was also great to see Coleen Nolan there as a judge showing her support for the transgender community too. The bars were full of friendly people and staff All in all I had a great time and didnt really want to leave Roll on Sparkle 2015!!! |

amazing weekend already booked my hotel for next year couldn't of asked for a better place to go full time and go out dressed for the first time spent most of my time in the clubs staggering home at 5 am just wished it was on more often defiantly worth the 6 hours spent in the car to get there

3 nights and 4 days at Sparkle........ I could sleep for a week! Sparkle is such a hectic period..... you barely get there and its time to come home!! The event has grown since my first visit in 2009 and with this year being the 10th Anniversary it was bigger and better than previous years.... I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone involved who made 2014 SPARKLE a really Fabulous long weekend! ..... We arrived late thursday afternoon with just enough to get some shopping in before getting ready to hit Canal Street that night. There are some excellent Bars, Bistro's and Clubs on and around Canal Street ideal for a partaying weekend. Thursday is becoming a pre Sparkle Chill night where you can explore the vicinity and pick out you choice of bars and restaurants before all the 'mayhem' of the Sparkle proper. Friday day is promenading down Canal Street meeting and drinking and chatting to faces you can now put a name and personality too!... Friday Night Streets full bars full and music echo's in the air... a chance to try out your new shoes... new dresses.... new well everything!...... Again this year Linda (Leaa Sardi) organised her tombola and cake stall raising money for Macmillan Nurses a well worth cause.. raising £300+ on the day and more donations coming in! Well done to Linda and everyone who took part........ Saturday day very events-full shopping in Manchester.. a must!..... streets full, music mayhem.... stalls.... information and gorgeous girls as far as the eye can see! Saturday Night... the big night for Sparkle goers.... every bar, club, restaurant and tea room full! even the rain didn't dampen our resolve!.... Well girls still getting back to the hotels into the early hours... dawn was well into its thing! The worst thing about Sparkle is the packing and coming home!! (but a least you get a good nights sleep in a comfy bed! It was lovely to see all my friends and I think this year I made some more... every one seemed friendly.... door, bar, waiter-ing staff, Police and especially the lovely TG family of which we are happy members! Again Thanks to the organisers and doers...... I had a really special time! Hugs Lou xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

This was my first visit to Sparkle and I went with a Tgirl friend for whom this was also her first visit. Well, what can I say except that it was a most wonderful experience, I didn't stop smiling the whole time I was there!!! The atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly. The venues, pubs, bars and streets were so very pleasant. We met some lovely people, saw some old friends, boogied 'til 3 am and had such a great time. And the sun shone !!! To be able to dress all day in whatever outrageous outfit you liked (and mine were VERY short) walk around, not always in the village was really lovely, I received some lovely compliments from gay guys & girls and straight people in the streets and venues. Will I go again? Oh yes !!! |
