Manchester Pride’s latest sponsor has been confirmed as Cheshire Oaks, the UK’s largest designer outlet.

Cheshire Oaks join Selfridges, Unite the Union and Gaydar.co.uk as sponsors of Manchester’s annual lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender festival.

Jackie Crozier, festival manager of Manchester Pride, said: “The support we gain from all our sponsors is incredibly important to us.  Without sponsorship the event simply wouldn’t be on the same scale that it is today.  We’re confident this will help to deliver the festival with maximum impact and in doing so, continue to raise a substantial amount of money for LGBT and HIV communities.”

Shaun Rhodes, Marketing Manager at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet said: “We’re thrilled to be supporting Manchester Pride for a second year – not only is the festival a fantastic opportunity to promote Cheshire Oaks to thousands of style conscious consumers who ‘love to shop’, but it also enables us to play our part in raising thousands of pounds!”

Manchester Pride takes place from 21st – 31st August 2009. For more information visit, www.manchesterpride.com
