This walk will explore some of the key locations in the QueenSpark book Daring Hearts, available to buy as an e-book here. 

Drawn from taped interviews with forty lesbians and gay men speaking openly about their lives in and around Brighton in the 50s and 60s – collected by Brighton Ourstory Project, and published by QueenSpark Books – this walk will take you on a journey back in time to experience some of their favourite haunts. And relive some of their cherished memories.

Through their eyes you will see why the town became such a magnet for queer people. We also hope it will give you an insight into the prejudice they faced in the years before decriminalisation.

The full walk should take around an hour to complete.
