A tour to learn about all things LGBTQ+. You'll know everything there is to know about this world-famous queer city.

The tour will take you on a journey over 200 years of history including Regency Dandies, 1950s lesbian and gay life, historical figures and political activism. You 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, just to name a few. They also uncover 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.

If you're a newbie in Brighton, get off to an amazing start by booking Piers and Queers tour.
