Graham Munday, Chair of Brighton Bear Weekend said: “We want to thank in advance all the participating venues, the people who kindly donated raffle prizes, and all our supporters in the community. Without them, this party would not happen.
“Most of all we want to thank everyone that comes to Brighton and Hove, to have a good time and most importantly help us raise money for the Rainbow Fund.
“The whole of the Brighton Bear Weekend team wish you the most brilliant, fantastic, fun time, stay safe, look after each other and have a wonderful and memorable few days in Brighton.”
