On Saturday, 18th July, George House Trust, Manchester’s HIV support services charity hosted the city’s first Drag Ball and Manchester Hall (formerly the Freemasons Hall) in Manchester city centre.  The event was produced in collaboration with some of Manchester’s finest drag queens and George House Trust Ambassadors, Anna Phylactic, Cheddar Gorgeous and Misty Chance.
They hosted and performed alongside Krystal Kane, Liqourice Black, Blaque Ivory, Grace Oni Smith, Nanna (the oldest Queen in the Village), Lill & Violet and guest starring Meth.
The post-show party at Cruz101 took the guests into the early hours while the Twittersphere was on fire.  The question George House Trust is being inundated with now is can I buy tickets to next year’s event? The event was a celebration of Manchester’s drag scene, but also a fundraiser for George House Trust who are celebrating their 30th anniversary July 2015 – July 2016.  
The Drag Ball was the second in a line-up of events throughout the year which kicked off with a reception at Manchester Town Hall on 8th July, the date which Manchester AIDSline took their first call in 1985.
