For the 4th annual Trans Pride March (5th Trans Pride event), assemble at the Marlborough Pub in Princess Street, Brighton, today, Saturday, July 22 at 11.30am.
After welcoming speeches from the organisers, marchers will set off towards Brighton Palace Pier, turn right and proceed along the seafront to Brunswick Gardens in Hove for the party in the park, featuring music, spoken word and poetry as well as community stalls profiling Trans and LGB+ community groups. No dogs are allowed on the park, except for assistance dogs. Entry to the park is free but please put a donation in the buckets as this event costs a great deal of money to stage.
