**Brighton Bear Weekend 2025** (BBW) brought a wave of celebration, community spirit, and fabulous fun to **Brighton** from **10 - 13 July**. This beloved annual event, a highlight of the UK’s LGBTQ+ calendar, once again delivered four days of camaraderie, entertainment, and fundraising - all in support of local charities like the **Sussex Beacon** and **Lunch Positive**. 

The festivities kicked off on Thursday with the ever-popular **BBW Quiz Night** at **Nautilus Lounge**, where teams battled it out for a cash prize in a night filled with laughter and lively competition. Friday saw the **Welcome Party** and the first glimpse of the contenders for the coveted **Mr Brighton Bear** title at **Dorset Gardens**, with music, food from **Lunch Positive**, and a buzzing crowd under the BBW marquee.

Saturday was the heart of the weekend, featuring the legendary **Garden Party** \- a vibrant daytime event with community stalls, performances, and plenty of refreshments. The atmosphere was electric as the crowd gathered for the announcement of this year’s **Mr Brighton Bear**, which was won by **Aidan Conner Frame**. 

Saturday night turned up the heat with a **Club Night**, where guest DJs kept the dance floor alive until the early hours. Sunday offered a more relaxed vibe, with the cheeky **Underbears** party - a fittingly playful end to a weekend of celebration.
