The third Queer in Brighton History Club meeting is on Sunday, October 20 at the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery.
The starting time has been brought forward from 3pm to 11am so there is no clash with any Trans Day of Remembrance events.
Speakers for this month are E-j Scott – fashion curator and trans activist and Sequioia Barnes – fashion lecturer at Brighton University.
The event is free but follow this link to RSVP – so they can cater accordingly.
Queer in Brighton are also organising two workshops. Both are free, but are booking up really fast, so if you are interested, RSVP as soon as possible.
The Keep Archives workshop – Saturday November 26, at The Keep Archives starting at 11am.
Begin your journey as archival researchers with a trip to The Keep at the University of Sussex campus, and a tour around the building to find out what is available in terms of LGBTQ+ materials.

Finally, Queer in Brighton have updated their website with a blog section, and are now looking for contributions!
Get in touch if you have an anecdote, a story, if you were there when it all happened, or have photographs, zines, papers, and other archive material that helps illuminate Brighton’s LGBTQ+ heritage!
