🌆 Wednesday 14th October in Manchester

Trans people, together with our cis friends and allies, have been meeting and socialising in Manchester on Wednesday evenings since the late 1970s as the Manchester TV/TS Group (1974–75) and later Northern Concord and Manchester Concord.

We are a modern evolution of that long Manchester tradition and everyone is welcome, whether you are completely new, a cross-dresser finding your feet, a trans woman living full time or somewhere in between.

People now tend to make their own way around Manchester during the evening so don't worry if everyone isn't in the same place at the same time.

🌈 The Village Option

People often begin meeting during the late afternoon, usually in Via, often moving on to Velvet. Later in the evening they tend to drift between Via, The Goose, Iconic, Oscars, REM, The Molly House, New York New York, Centre Stage, Brewers and other nearby venues.

If it is your first visit or you're feeling a little nervous, feel free to message me beforehand and I'll do my best to help.

🏙️ The City Option

Some of us usually spend the afternoon in mainstream city-centre venues before having a meal there and will often stay in the city for the evening.

If you would like to join us for the meal or any part of the day, you are welcome. Just send me a message beforehand and I'll let you know our plans.

🤝 Which option is right for you?

For anyone new to socialising in Manchester, these are two quite different experiences.

The city-centre option involves mixing with the general public and is best suited to those who feel comfortable socialising in that environment. If you're unsure whether it would suit you, message me beforehand and I'm happy to talk it through.

The Gay Village offers a more diverse nightlife environment and many people find it a comfortable place to begin building their confidence.

📱 Need a little help?

If you can't find anyone or would simply like to find where people might be ask me for my mobile number before Wednesday as I don't check my TV Chix mail while I'm out.

💜 Enjoy Manchester whatever you decide to do.

We had dinner at Madre - good food and lively atmosphere. Canal Street was pretty dead early on, and some weird folk group were in the Molly House. Things livened up later though with a fun drag show at Via.
