Overview

A tour of Brighton from a lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer perspective, in a colourful 90-minute walk along the beach and historic city centre. We take in over 200 years of history including Regency Dandies, 1950s lesbian and gay life, and political activism. We learn about Anne Lister's trip to Brighton (subject of BBC/HBO series Gentleman Jack), as well as Lord Byron, Oscar Wilde and Dusty Springfield. We also uncover some extraordinary unsung heroes, including a pioneering doctor who lived as a man long before women were allowed to practice medicine, an Edwardian 'drag king' and a 'same-sex' marriage in 1923. This is a small group tour (maximum 12), for a high quality experience.

Great experience highly recommended

Published on Mar, 2025

We went on the LGBTQ+ history tour of Brighton this Saturday and absolutely loved it. Our guide, Ric, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough – you could tell how passionate he was about sharing Brighton’s rich and fascinating queer history. Even as locals, we learned so much and heard incredible stories we’d never come across before. It really made us see our city in a new light. Highly recommend this tour to anyone – visitors and locals alike – who want to understand more about Brighton’s LGBTQ+ history and the amazing people who helped shape it.
