The March starts from Hove Peace Statue at approx 1pm (meet at 12), marching through town and ending up on the Level Park (change of venue, was originally Queens Park, but the Level is easier for access, and more central). There should be at least one float heading the procession with a PA, and hopefully a couple more in the procession. Events for the park include - Beer Stall, some staged events (to be confirmed in the next couple of weeks) and some stalls. Also there will be some Pride events during the weekd leading up to the March in various clubs, pubs, theatres etc. Finally, as part of Brighton Festival, the Duke of Yorks cinema and Lighthouse are having an "Out on Screen" Season throughout May, showing a few films that were part of the London L&G film festival, including a Derek Jarman(?) film (can't remember which one at the moment) and "Go Fish".
