REALManchester is the quintessential guide to Canal Street, Manchester's gay village - its thriving LGBT community and nightlife. It is a leading resource for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and straight residents and visitors of the great North West city. We aim to bring you the whole of Manchester from a gay perspective.

The site offers accurate, detailed daily listings, interactive maps and a directory of trusted gay and gay-friendly businesses - as well as thousands of photos taken at local bars, clubs, parties and events.

REALManchester lends considerable support to local community groups, charities and LGBT organisations - offering free online profiling for many of these groups. The REALManchester team has also donated entire website solutions to gay organisations such as Gaydio and Pride Games in support of their activities in the city.

REALManchester is an official media partner to Pride Games, Manchester Pride and queer up north festivals providing both comprehensive pre-festival promotion and listings and post-event photo reviews of key events and fundraising activities.

With trusted, carefully edited content the site has attracted a strong local following, but also proves an effective tourist guide for a national and international audience. It is promoted around the globe through its links with other guides in the UK, Europe and Australia - REALManchester is one of the flagship sites in the Real City Network portfolio of local city guides - currently the network attracts in excess of 500,000 visitors a month.
