Sparkle for me on Friday was: arriving just after the welcome desk opened to get a welcome pack, a wander round the city finding the venues, and getting dressed for the evening, before going out to a cocktail evening at Via and the LGBT Rock night at Club Retro. The Welcome desk was useful and well staffed, and easily found by the dozens and dozens of girls outside round tables drinking and chatting in their small groups. It could possible have used someone to ask new girls (like me) the occasional question like "are you on your own, do you know anyone here?" but I'm not sure how this could be done. Manchester is not normally baking hot, but even so it's a stroll from the cluster of venues within a hundred meters of the canal, to the shopping district up the hill. Hardly their fault. Cocktails at Via was nice, good venue which benefits from several split levels, for private nooks and tables, quieter corners, and cool basement bars. All still rather noisy (loud music), but underpopulated early in the evening. Credit to their unisex toilets. I think I'm one of these girls who turns up early to find herself the first one there :p Club Retro, once it got going, was quite fun. Goths and TGs and rockers all bouncing around and occasionally stamping on balloons. I had a good time, friendly staff and reasonable drinks, and rocked out (to the appropriately loud music) till about 1am. |

Sparkle on Saturday for me: Workshops, discussions and consultations at the Lesbian&Gay Foundation in the morning, Sparkle in the Park in the afternoon, and a somewhat vague bar crawl in the evening. The LGF were friendly and accomadating, shame it was the hottest day of the year. Sparkle in the Park was smaller than I thought, but still quite fun. Loadsa girls, some good musci, several interesting shopping opportunities. I didn't try the food/drink on site, having brought picnic supplies. Not having found any friends for the evening, I wandered through most of the bars/clubs in the Village, and found them all friendly, accomadating, LOUD, and packed. It was interesting, but I'm not much for getting drunk alone, and so headed to bed after midnight. |

An absolutely brilliant event, a great show on stage in the park. Superb bars on Canal Street and the surrounding streets. Plenty of good restaurants nearby. Sparkle is an event not to be missed.

I had a brilliant time and can't wait for next year. The weather was superb, perhaps even a little too hot!! had quite an adventure late Saturday night/Sunday morning. Due to a fire I could not get into my hotel so had to spend the time in mainstream Manchester in a dress with total vanillas!!!
