Queer Walking Group: Devil’s Dyke

Join us for an unforgettable day at Devil’s Dyke in a beautiful part of the South Downs National Park in Susses.

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 Devil’s Dyke, where we’ll meet the facilitators for the day before the walk.

In this session, you will be able to explore the beautiful scenery and chalk stream, 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

It will be approximately a five mile walk in a beautiful part of the South Downs National Park. It can be very muddy in places, depending on recent rainfall, some slippery down hills and one fairly steep walk towards the end. Most of the walk is on relatively level ground.

Please bring footwear with with good grip that you don’t mind getting a bit muddy, and clothing for all weathers.

If you require any further access information, email us at [email protected].
