Win Manchester Pride Big Weekend tickets and a £50 tab for City Inn

Manchester Pride Festival, formerly known as Mardi Gras, is coming up on 20-30 August, and City Inn are planning to help you celebrate in style. They're giving away two Big Weekend tickets for 27-30th worth £17.50 each, plus a £50 tab to spend at one of their two bars.

City Inn has some great room rates for the Pride weekend, starting from £69 for bed and breakfast

City Inn at Piccadilly Place is only two minutes from Canal Street, the hub of the Festival, and it’s one of those hotels that's as popular with people on a night out as it is with people staying over night. Head to the Piccadilly Lounge to check out their whisky 'library' or venture into the intimate Blue Bar – a hidden gem that's perfect for hushed conversations and people-watching.

You can order food in either bar. If you fancy some time out from the Canal Street crowds, afternoon tea or evening bar bites in Blue Bar will refresh your spirits. Or you could just spend all your tab on champagne and cocktails...

And if you don't want to make the trek home at the end of it all, how about booking a room? City Inn has some great room rates for Pride’s Big Weekend, starting from £69 for bed and breakfast – call their reservations team on 0113 241 1005 to make a booking.

Acts playing at this year's Pride include Belinda Carlisle, Heaven 17, Chicane and Beverley Knight with more to be announced.
