The Bears Are Back! Brighton Bear Weekend to return with community fundraising and furry fun in July

Graham Robson January 5, 2022

The Brighton Bear Weekend (BBW) team has announced this year’s four-day event will take place from Thursday, July 14 to Sunday, July 17 to raise vital funds for the Brighton Rainbow Fund.

As in previous years, BBW 2022 will begin with the famous (and always fully booked) BBW Quiz. The Mr Brighton Bear competition, and the legendary garden party, will be key events, but there will be other activities planned to ensure all tastes and interests are well and truly satisfied. The team is also hoping to bring back the ever popular Club Night.

Although aimed primarily at the bear, cub and otter community (and their friends of course), everyone supporting the community is welcome. The weekend always attracts lots of furry (and not so furry) men and their friends from around the world.

BBW 2021

Graham Munday, chairman of the BBW organising committee, said: “We’re thrilled that BBW 2021 was so successful, with the number of people attending events across the weekend exceeding our expectations. Needless to say, we’re excited to be back preparing an even bigger BBW.

“We can also announce that, because the weekend was so successful, BBW is donating £4,000 to the Brighton Rainbow Fund. We look forward to welcoming everyone to what we hope will be an even bigger BBW 2022!”

As you can imagine, staging major events like this takes some doing. Everyone involved is a volunteer and the guys are keen to hear from anyone who would like to donate some of their time to help make the weekend a huge success. You’ll be working with a crowd of people who are fun, sociable, hard-working and committed.
