Hundreds of Bears and their admirers descended on Dorset Gardens in Brighton Kemptown on the hottest Saturday of the year (June 17) for the annual Brighton Bear Weekend Bear-B-Que and Picnic. This year’s picnic, the busiest yet, featured for the first time a main stage with entertainment provided by Dave Lynn, Jason Thorpe, Mysterry, Spice, Wain Kara Douglas and Brighton’s only LGBT+ choir, the Rainbow Chorus.
