Events

We work with partners to deliver unforgettable, immersive experiences for the LGBTQ+ community and beyond either through our own brand events or collaboratively.

From the Gaydio Pride Awards to branded experiential, Gaydio is a trusted voice for queer people. Work with us to deliver authentic touch points with our community.

Take a look through our highlights for the Gaydio Pride Awards 2025…

The Gaydio Awards

The biggest LGBTQ+ awards ceremony outside of London, our signature event brings together the high profile figures of our community as well as the people and organisations behind the grassroots efforts made to better queer lives in a truly special evening of celebration, reflection and entertainment in Manchester.

Over the years, Gaydio has welcomed performances from icons and allies including Raye, Tulisa, Danny Beard and Katy B with awards dished out to Russell T Davies, Lady Phyl and Peter Tatchell.

In 2025, the Gaydio Awards reached a combined media audience of 6 million people through radio, press and socials.

Experiential & Brand Events

Gaydio is proud to partner with third party brands who share our values of inclusivity and authenticity to deliver activations that delight LGBTQ+ people and their allies.

Over the years, we’ve delivered pop up gigs, co-branded parade float inclusions and club takeovers.

Our relationship with high profile queer talent means we are uniquely placed to co-ordinate collaborations that connect with our audience – your future customers.
