There will even be basement club parties and glitter stations allowing punters to get glammed up.

Special guests include The Sunday Boys choir, who will be performing at the official launch party of the celebrations.

Come As You Are has become a household name within the Manchester party scene and aims to celebrate music and love.

The weekend of celebration will officially launch on Friday August 23rd with DJs in the Public Bar from 5pm to 1am and Abs Ward kicking the party off.

And as if that wasn’t enough, on Saturday there will be a stellar line-up of DJs playing in the Public Bar and Courtyard.

The weekender will also see the Manchester premiere of 'DEEP IN VOGUE'. A first for the city, the docu-film chronicles an explosive vogue renaissance in Manchester and features some iconic scenes.
