Collecting and Reminiscing The Sussex Club

Do you remember The Sussex Club? Down a mysterious basement in Regency Square where you had to ring a bell and wait to be admitted? This humble bar with an area for performers and the obligatory pool table was pivotal in the lives of many lesbians in Brighton and Hove and further afield.

We're opening this collection event to the lesbians of Sussex, and we want to invite you to come along and share stories, relive dramas and meet old chums.

Youll also get a chance to look at some photos and sign up for an exciting social group.

If you have any photos from previously attending The Sussex Club, please bring these with you! Alternatively, send in your images to the QHS team to be apart of this session.
