Welcome to REALManchester.com - Manchester's leading online resource Canal Street, the Gay Village and well beyond! Since we launched in 2004 we've been busy meeting local businesses to include in our directory, we've listed details of thousands of events in our nightlife diary, we've taken tens of thousands of photos out in the clubs and bars, on football pitches, in swimming pools, on floats... and we've had hundreds of thousands of visitors to the site which makes us think that we must be doing something right!
Check our 'straightometer', to tell you how straight, or gay, a particular night/event/place in Manchester is, which we hope will let you know roughly what to expect when you get there! Enjoy the site, and please continue to let us know what you like about it, and even what you don't like! We love to hear from you!
If you're thinking of heading down south make sure you check the most up to date guide to Brighton gay bars, clubs and hotels.
