## A tour of Brighton’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender history.

![Piers & Queers](https://www.scenemag.co.uk/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/web-6006.jpg)

***Piers & Queers* offer** a tour of Brighton from a lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer perspective, taking in over 200 years of history in a colourful 80-minute walk along the beach and historic centre of one of Europe’s queerest cities.

The tour follows in the footsteps of **Lord Byron**, **Oscar Wilde** and **Dusty Springfield**, visits the place where England’s first Civil Partnerships were celebrated, and reveals some extraordinary unsung heroes, including a pioneering doctor who passed as a man decades before women were allowed to practice medicine, a 19th-century lesbian diarist, and a same-sex marriage – back in 1923!

*Piers and Queers* is titled after Noel Coward’s quote: *‘Ah, dear Brighton: piers, queers and racketeers’*

**What:** *Piers & Queers*

**Where:** Around the Streets of Brighton: Meet opposite West Pier, by the War Memorial Statue in Regency Square

**When:** Every Saturday and Sunday during Brighton Fringe: May 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, 25, 31 June 1
