A hate crime vigil will take place at the Old Steine on Saturday, October 23 between 7pm and 9pm.

Last year more than 200 people joined together at the Old Steine, Brighton to express their concern, anger and to commemorate those who had been victims of Hate Crime, at the same time there were 10,000 people in Trafalgar Square and many other groups across the country for the first International Day against Hate Crime.



Brighton & Hove LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Switchboard will be hosting this year’s vigil in the city, to be held on Saturday October 23 from 7pm - 9pm at the Old Steine Fountain with a 2 minute silence at 8pm. The Candle-lit Vigil allows you to stand shoulder to shoulder with other supporters to stop this happening again and shows your support to all victims of Hate Crime.


The theme for this year is "Uniting communities against Hate Crime".


The Vigil will include speakers from across communities affected by Hate Crime and musical contributions. All are welcome.
