The entertainment in the nearby town will be closed by Hayley "The Voice", a top vocalist, professionally trained in musical theatre.

Other performers include Manchester-based acoustic musician Remy, four-piece band Chasing the Fall and Alsager's own Community Choir.  

Young energy and passion will be supplied by performers from Tribe Dance Academy of Biddulph.

The Maxonian will perform at Alsager Pride on September 23.

The event will be closed by Hayley "The Voice" who will be singing an eclectic mix of songs from all genres.

Organisers of this year's Pride in Alsager are gearing up for another fun-filled event last this month.

The celebrations start with a walk to the event from the corner of Church Road opposite The Lodge, Alsager.  

Those joining are asked to meet at 11.20 am for a prompt 11.30 am start. Shops and businesses lining the route through Alsager have been invited to decorate their windows.

The Pride committee will choose their favourite displays on the Friday afternoon before and the winners will be announced on Saturday afternoon at Pride by Councillor Jane Hearne, the Mayor of Alsager.

The afternoon will be hosted with panache and humour by local drag queen Fonda D, The Plus-Sized Barbie Princess of Cheshire. 

A range of delicious food and drinks will be available from stalls including Ey Up Duck, The British Legion BBQ, Home Coffee & Studio and Kams Mr Whippy as well as various stalls.
