Not so much of a sparkle more a twinkle, which is more aimed towards the girls there, sad that people say a lot they dont mean but maybe thats the drink talking

Sparkle just gets better every year! Fantastic night on Friday in Eden. Meal great and there was cabaret which we didn't expect which was very good! Service was fantastic and staff really friendly...can thoroughly recommend. Sparkle in the Park on Saturday was good although they could put on more seating! More stalls that in previous years although I think there should be more stalls where products can be purchased as I think the right products could make an absolute killing with such a captive audience. All in all a defo 5 stars and no doubt 2013 will be even bigger and better! |

Our 3rd Sparkle, thoroughly enjoyed it, have already booked for next year, can't wait. If you've never been and are uming and ahing or a little nervous about coming then you have nothing to worry about, its safe, there are plenty of us gurls around and you will always be made to feel welcome. |

The sun may have been shy in coming out but us girlies certainly weren't! Friday night saw us venturing out early, and strutting our stuff on the dancefloor of New Union bar, only stopping (just) from embarrassing ourselves horribly on the poles. Within the hour, the bars were thronging with the excited chatter of glamorous and gorgeous T-girls and their partners. We bar hopped along the length of Canal Street, for research purposes of course to establish which bar had the best atmosphere, music and wine. Our rigorous efforts paid off, and we discovered that Via was one of the most fun places to hang out. A late start on Saturday, nursing slightly sore feet, we strolled back along Canal Street around lunchtime and fell into easy conversation with a group of T-girls and joined them for coffee. The atmosphere was noticeably relaxed and it was great fun just to people watch, and see all the amazing and sometimes outrageous outfits pass by us. We wandered into the Sparkle park early afternoon and again it was noticeable how relaxed everybody seemed. Lots of old acquaintances were reunited and new ones made. The entertainment was exactly that - entertaining. The Miss Sparkle contest was treated by most contestants in the spirit in which it's intended, a little tongue in cheek. We did feel however that there was too long a wait for the judges' results - the poor Misses Sparkles were all shivering in their sequins and the audience was getting fed up. Once more glammed to the nines, we tottered out that evening and found that the bars in Canal Street were even busier than the previous night. It was a bit of a squeeze on some dance floors but still good fun and everyone seemed in good humour. Sparkle proved a great fun experience and a wonderful chance to meet up with existing friends and make new ones. It's now time to rest our poor feet though. |

Well what can I say? This was my 1st Sparkle and it most certainly won't be my last. Manchester Village really is a warm and friendly area with lots of bars and clubs that makes for a fantastic venue.

As always it was great fun and fair lifted the spirit in these dreary times. It did however prove once again that saying "Oh, we'll bump into each other at the weekend" is WAY harder to do than you might think cos there are SO many flippin' folk there! I did notice some couples out in The Village on Saturday night in particular who seemed just there for a good ol' gawp and a chuckle at 'the trannies'. First of all it kinda offended me, but then I thought "What the Hell", meaning if straight married couples are at least out and about in The Village hopefully they are more likely to be improved by the experience rather than simply living in ignorance... I suspect additional food/drink outlets would be a good idea, and perhaps a communal seated area too? However I appreciate that space in the Gardens is limited so such opportunity is too I guess? |

Simply Fab time from Start to Finish...We were all so lucky that the rain was only on Friday evening and the rest of the weekend stayed dry! Even had a little Sun! Event was very well organised, really great to meet up with our friends and also meet and make some new ones as well. Defo be back next year. Luv Charley xx

My third Sparkle and for me the best. I love the variety of all the events and the Saturday in the park with my friends. I do wish that the pubs/clubs had more air conditioning, I know some do but then this is England, enough said. Here's to my fourth Sparkle. Love Manchester and Canal Street. |
