Brighton Bear Weekend is an annual event for bears, cubs and their friends held on the south coast of the UK. This year’s event will run from 15th until the 18th June 2017. 

Brighton Bear Weekend is a not-for-profit organisation and the staff are all volunteers. They are proud that the profits from the events go to supporting the Rainbow Fund, the grant-giving fund for LGBT/HIV community groups in Brighton and Hove. In 2016 they raised over £7,752 for the Rainbow Fund and have the ambition to raise even more money in 2017.
