Two of Brighton’s gay venues will be running events to raise vital funds for local HIV charity the **Sussex Beacon** in February.

On **Saturday, February 4** from **9pm**, the boys from **Brighton Bear Weekend** (BBW) will be throwing a ***Bears at the Bully*** party at the **Bulldog**, 31 St James’s Street, Brighton BN2 1RF.

Organisers say: “It is that time for the bears to ease out of hibernation. To help you with that, we are throwing a party at the all-new Bulldog!”

On the night, DJ **Josh Sharp** will be chucking out the tunes and there will be **20% discount on drinks**. Funds raised on the night will go to the **Brighton Rainbow Fund** and the Sussex Beacon.

The Sussex Beacon says: “We’re delighted that the team at BBW will be supporting the Sussex Beacon at their upcoming *Bears at the Bully* event, at the Bulldog Brighton.

“As you may know, the BBW team do great work to support the very community of which we are enormously proud to be a part.

“Have a fabulously furry, fun time everyone!”

Get your thinking cap on on **Thursday, February 23** from **8pm** for ***Quizingo*** with host **Ruffles** at **Centre Stage**, 11-12 Marine Parade, Brighton BN2 1TL. Funds raised will go directly to the Sussex Beacon.

The Sussex Beacon says: “Maybe you’re a mastermind with super-duper general knowledge. Or maybe your knowledge of specialist subjects is … not so specialist. It matters not!

“The previous *Quizingo* held in December was a hilariously big night! Not only did everyone playing have great fun, a fantastic sum of money was also raised for the Sussex Beacon.

“Book your table while you can in person or give them a buzz on **01273 685 956**.

“A reminder that money donated to the Sussex Beacon helps us continue our essential work, supporting and caring for people living with HIV across Sussex.“
