Brighton Lesbians Social Meetup Group

Sun
📅 21 Jun 2026
📍 BN1 3AJ

The Brighton Lesbians Social (formally the Over 35s Lesbian & Queer Women’s group) is a self-organised and funded group for women who identify as lesbian, bi & trans who live authentically as lesbian. This is a social group for both single women & couples alike who are mainly mid 40s & over. The group hosts a variety of regular & one-off events such as pub meet-ups, café get-togethers, cinema, theatre events, & the occasional club night. There are also various outdoor activities such as walks, bike rides & camping outings ... and much more! (further details are available on the event calendar). Some events are open to friends and family. Anyone joining this group is asked to submit a photograph of themselves. This enables both event hosts & members, to know who is attending & makes the event space more welcoming. The group are always looking for new event hosts and all members are invited to make suggestions for future events. Please contact the organisers if you're interested in helping out. In order to cover the costs of running the group, there is an annual membership fee of US$15 (approx £10 after MeetUp fees) with a trial period of 30 days. This covers the overhead costs (e.g. MeetUp platform annual fees, which have increased significantly over the past few years). PLEASE NOTE these fees are only for this group and MeetUp will also ask if your want to join them too for their professional membership, this does not gain you membership to this group so I would suggest you don’t. Events are generally free to attend but if there are admissions charges (galleries/cinema etc) the event host will mention this in the event post. The group is committed to hosting events where all members can meet & feel comfortable together. By signing up as a member you agree to the group’s guidelines, which you can get by request from any of the group’s organisers. Messages and group chats are moderated & anything posted by members that may be inappropriate or offensive to others will be deleted.
