The Village
The Village’s come-one, come-all spirit marks this rainbow-hued quarter as a life-giving part of the city’s urban landscape. Both an LGBT+ community gathering signal and a living, breathing neighbourhood, the Village is far more than one of Montréal’s liveliest party hubs and the centre of summer's Pride events – although, nowhere else quite gets down in the quite same way.
Montréal’s big gay heart
Openness 24/7
Beaudry metro station with its rainbow pillars stands proudly at the geographic heart of Montréal’s Village, the biggest of its kind in North America. Bustling Sainte-Catherine Street running east to west acts as the gaybourhood’s main drag, stacked with satisfactory eateries, eye-popping boutiques, and a multitude of B&B options housed in uniquely Montréalaise architecture. Welcoming nightclubs that stay packed drawn-out into the night personify Montréal’s joie de vivre and the anything goes scene awaits with arms open wide. But the fun runs 24/7, making Le Village one of Montréal’s most vibrant, expose, and inclusive quarters both day and night.

Newcastle has a thriving Homosexual scene with several bars and evening clubs within a short distance of each other. The Gay Village or Pink Triangle as it is sometimes known is situated between the Main Station and the Metro Radio Arena.

And it's world-famous for its night-time and leisure scene.
We've collaborated with the local community to create an action plan for the Homosexual Village. It looks at how we can preserve the ethics and spirit of the area. And how we ensure the needs of the LGBTQ+ society are at the heart of anything taking place in the Village.
As part of our engagement to the Gay Village, a series of listening exercises contain taken place. So we excel understand the priorities, wants and needs of the community who live in, work and attend it.
There are a range of proposals to enhance the area in the short and long-term. They include:
