Support the Quarter, clearly labelled

Brighton Queer Quarter is free for every eligible business inside the mapped Quarter. Sponsorship is for businesses and partners outside the Quarter who want to reach this audience, and for wider partners funding a clearly identified programme.

No Quarter map pin

Paid placement never creates a pin on the Quarter map or an entry in the organic directory, and never counts as being inside the Quarter.

No influence on recommendations

Sponsors cannot buy search ranking, editorial recommendation or a place in organic results. Paid cards sit in their own labelled containers.

Free for the Quarter

Every eligible business inside the boundary gets its full profile, events, offers, map pin and campaigns free. Charity support information is never behind a payment.

Rate card

Fixed-duration placements, sold by the slot.

Newsletter products go on sale once the opt-in mailing list is large enough to be worth a sponsor's money.

About these prices

These are proposed launch rates, not established market values. They are under review after the first three to six months of measured traffic, subscribers and buyer feedback. Prices exclude VAT if applicable. Fixed-duration placements are sold; we do not promise impressions, clicks, footfall or return on investment.

What we will and will not run

  • Every paid item carries an Advertisement or Sponsored by label, on mobile and in shared previews.
  • At most one sponsor card per four organic cards, and no more than two paid cards on a page.
  • No takeover interstitials, autoplay or behavioural retargeting.
  • No sponsored pins inside the Quarter boundary and no sponsored map layer.
  • No sponsors on support or help-seeking pages, and no targeting based on their use.
  • No creative that misrepresents or harasses LGBTQ+ people, impersonates a Quarter member or exploits support seekers.
  • Extra review for sensitive sectors and any age-restricted product.
  • Booking, creative, dates and publication are approved by the Super Admin, who can pause a placement at once.
