Bear Weekend Events
- Many of the events “good old favourites” including the BBW Quiz Night, Mr Brighton Bear and the glorious, immensely popular garden party, will return in 2023. Awaiting the schedule for the 2023 event
- Do not miss the Rugby Matches!! Woof and of course the welcome breakfasts, a great way to get to know other attendees!
- The event is Free and you can just show up and enjoy the weekend! Some of the venues will charge a modest entry fee for the bigger events, but many are free to enter (although you will of course need money for drinks and so on).
- Visitors can buy a wristband to take advantage of great discounts on drinks, entry fees, and many other items over the entire weekend.
The first BBW was in 2009 and since then has raised more than £15,000 for the Rainbow Fund, who make grants to LGBT and HIV organisations who deliver effective front line services to LGBT people in Brighton and Hove.
