We have some amazing last-minute deals for Brighton Bear Weekend 2019 wristband wearers, including big discounts on food and drinks at Amsterdam Bar and Kitchen all weekend, at our bar at the Garden Party on Saturday afternoon, at our big Beefmince club night on Saturday night, and much more! See the full list of wristband deals.

You can still pre-order wristbands in our online shop, and collect them at our Welcome Night on Friday (or get them from a crew member at any other event during the weekend). We’ll also be selling them at our Quiz, Welcome Night and other events. You don’t have to have one to enjoy the weekend, but it will pay for itself very quickly!

We are thrilled to announce that Steven Quick, Mr Leather UK 2018, will present the title of Mr Brighton Bear at our first ever Mr Brighton Bear Competition! The competition will take place at Subline on Friday 14 June from 11:00 pm.

On 16th March 2018, Steven won the title of Mr Leather UK. He’s been part of the leather community for almost two decades and is extremely proud to have had the honour of representing the leather, fetish and further LGBT+ communities. Growing up in Cornwall, Steven found it somewhat difficult to make fetish connections but with the persistence of wearing leather out on the somewhat limited Cornish gay scene, he soon made a small group of likeminded fetish friends.

Moving to the Southeast in 2003 to pursue a theatre career, Steven soon discovered the fetish scene and made many connections and lifelong friends. He’s been lucky enough to travel throughout the UK, Europe and the USA to attend many fetish events, and he’s currently enjoying his further travels while continuing to represent and promote the UK leather and fetish community.

Steven is delighted to have raised over £3,500 for his chosen charity, Survivors UK, and is also thrilled to be part of the team at Brighton’s own Rainbow Hub. One of Steven’s proudest achievements to date is being a founder member of Leathermen South, Brighton’s Leather and Fetish social club, based at Subline. He feels honoured and excited to be part of the inaugural Mr Bear Brighton contest and wishes all of the candidates the best of luck.

With Brighton Bear Weekend kicking off in only a few days’ time, we can no longer guarantee postal delivery of items from our online shop in time for you to get them before the big weekend. As a result, you have only until midnight tonight (Sunday 9 June) to order clothing and wristbands for delivery.

After that, you will still be able to order wristbands for collection on the weekend (ideally at Welcome Night on Friday or from a crew member at any other time), until the end of Thursday. You will no longer be able to order t-shirts and vests, but you can buy them at Prowler Brighton, and we’ll also be selling them at Welcome Night.

Tickets for Beefmince, the Royal Pavilion Tour and the LGBT Walking Tour of Brighton will remain on sale in our online shop until the end of Thursday. After that, you will be able to buy any remaining tickets at Welcome Night on Friday.

We have now sold over two-thirds of our Beefmince tickets, so get yours quickly if you want to go!

We interviewed Dr Nick McGlynn of the University of Brighton, who will be conducting research for his Bearspace project during Brighton Bear Weekend. You can help out by attending the Bearspace focus group (and have Bear Breakfast at the same time!) at the Camelford Arms next Saturday (15 June) at 11:00am, or you can arrange a private interview with Nick. Read our fascinating interview with Nick about his project.
