‘Abigail’s fundraising Party for MindOut

Abigail’s Party, a play for stage and television, was devised and directed in 1977 by Mike Leigh.

Described as “a suburban situation comedy of manners”, and a “satire on the aspirations and tastes of the new middle class” that emerged in Britain in the 1970s, it is perfect for screening in Brighton in 2017!

Bear-Patrol the social networking fundraising group will be screening the film on Friday, October 6, at the Bedford Tavern with added surprises from ‘Spice’ and a 70’s style finger buffet, all to benefit MindOut, the LGBT+ mental health service.

Money will be raised via bucket donations on the door and a raffle.

All monies raised will be ring fenced by MindOut towards the running costs of their new Counselling Project.


Event: Abigail’s Party – A fundraiser organised by Bear-Patrol

Where: Bedford Tavern, 30 Western St, Hove, Brighton BN1 2PG

When: Friday, October 6

Time: 7pm- 11pm
