Happy revellers were literally singing and dancing in the rain at Salford’s Pink Picnic.

After months of lockdown, the wet weather didn’t daunt picnickers in Peel Park on Saturday August 6.

Stallholder Alice Manuel, said:

“Despite the weather, the entire day was filled with happy, free people. It felt like the big family party everyone so desperately needed.

“Everyone just looked so happy. It gives me goosebumps thinking back to people dancing and singing in the rain to some amazing acts.

“The event was a wonderful place for the LGBTQ+ communities to connect. It really was a special day with some incredible organisations there to support anyone who may need them, which goes to show how important the event is”Alicem

was selling spooky handmade accessories all made on her sewing machine at home.

“I started my little shop earlier this year and it’s already taken me on a journey. I get to lock myself away and sew all week and then unleash my creations to the world come the weekend.”

As many people haven’t been to an event for nearly two years, everyone’s spirits were high.

Alice is the brains behind her Needles and Dead business selling spooky handmade accessories all crafted on her sewing machine at home. She said: “I get to lock myself away and sew all wekk and then unleash my creations to the world come the weekend.”


Needle and Dead felt welcomed by the event and the well organised team made Alice’s day so much nicer.
