Sparkle was founded in 2005, originally as a day to celebrate all things transgender. By the following year the event had moved to its current weekend format and it now provides a full schedule from Friday afternoon right through to Sunday night!

In 2006 we introduced the main stage in Sackville Gardens and in 2007 the ‘Party in the Park’ surely made Sparkle not only the largest, but the highest profile, TG event in the world!
Last year saw Lynn Featherstone MP give an address to the many attendees and also an appearance on stage of Chrisie Edkins (well known trans DJ and singer)

This year the event will be held over the weekend of Friday 13th July to Sunday 15th July 2012.

Further information about Sparkle can be obtained from their website at:-

I would suggest The Britannia on Portland Street, is quite nice and just round the corner.
