Sugar & Spice 2026: Community Space + Workshops for LGBTQ+ Women

Our 20th anniversary of Sugar & Spice marks the start of International Women's Week, and is a cornerstone of LGBT Foundation’s annual calendar of events for queer and LGBTQ+ women.

“Sugar and Spice is more than just an annual event; it’s a testament to the strength and resilience of queer women. This festival has been a powerful showcase of their diverse voices and experiences here in Manchester. It is without a doubt one of my favourite moments of the year; I hope you’ll join us in celebrating all the fabulous women in our lives and revel in the joy of being queer!” Jax Effiong (She/Her), Chair of LGBT Foundation’s Board of Trustees
