Gay Village

As with all good things, once a few people know about it, everyone wants a piece.

So it is with 'the village', or the GAY village as it should be known, a place of vital significance for many thousands of LGBT men and women throughout the years.

Whilst it now performs brilliantly as a destination for tourists, for locals after a nice place ot have a drink and something to eat, and for hoardes of hen parties too, it is still at its heart a part of the city which was made by and for a community.
