We are a Drag king community group. A Manchester based group of drag Kings, Swings, and Things. We provide a space for predominantly lesbians, trans & NB individuals and queers interested in the queer art form/expression of drag kingship.
Please bring signs and placards and your finest drag look!!! Pride is a protest! We should treat it as such with signs to spare. Come dressed in Drag King clothes, or any queer outfit that makes you feel comfortable and proud :)
Be kind and respectful to other groups and others in our group!
It is a long, hot, crowded day. Please approach the event with civility, respect and a positive energy!
This year's theme is “Buzzin To Be Queer - A Hive of Progress”
FOR SAFETY REASONS PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS LINK BEYOND YOUR QUEER GROUPS/FRIENDS/FAMILY AS THIS COULD PUT OUR GROUP AT RISK, THANK YOU

We are a space that prides ourselves on the space we've created for lesbians, trans, and nonbinary folk of all backgrounds. We plan to run sessions and weekly meetups in future. Drag kings are often underrepresented in the queer scene, they usually aren't given the chance, nor the space to perform. We plan to change that to show that love and acceptance wins.
Buzzin To Be Queer - A Hive of Progress
We pride ourselves on how we work as a group, building each other up and sharing skills. We are a community above all else, a space where queer folks like ourselves can be comfortable in their own skin surrounded by others like them. And while most hives worship queens, we worship kings. And we show that, though the art we create, through honouring kings who came before us, and through inspiring future kings.
