Queer Walking Group: Alfriston
March 30 @ 9:30 am - 6:00 pm
Free
Join us for an unforgettable day at Alfriston in a beautiful part East Sussex.
Our Queer Walking Group welcomes all LGBTQ+ individuals for a day of scenic hiking, community bonding, and fun activities.
We’ll kick off the day with a comfortable private coach ride from the Centre’s doorstep to Alfriston, where we’ll meet the facilitators for the day before the walk.
You will be able to explore the beautiful scenery, make new friends and strengthen existing connections with LGBTQ+ folks through engaging group activities.
Light snacks and beverages will be provided, and you are welcome to bring your own packed lunch.
To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience, please bring comfortable walking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and a personal water bottle.
Spaces are limited, so early booking is advised. If you’re unable to attend please let us know as soon as possible, so we can open up tickets to community members on the waiting list.

Accessibility
The walk is 7 miles long on a stunning scenic route. There will be stops along the way and the walk can be cut shorter if needed or due to the weather.
Folks will meet the walk facilitator, Annie, on the edge of Alfriston where there are toilets nearby after the bus journey.
We’ll have a picnic time beside the river before heading off. There’s one climb uphill near the start of the walk. The rest of the walk is pretty level or going gradually downhill.
The tracks are stony or grassy, so please wear walking boots or trainers.
The ground is still wet in places, but the winter mud is drying up. Bring a big plastic bag to sit on just in case.
Annie will bring folks to Alfriston for ice cream/take away drinks and toilet stop before you get back on the bus!
