The festival features a dynamic talks programme, including an event exploring the hierarchy of high and low art, in Queer Art, with art curator Gemma Rolls-Bentley, artist duo Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings and artist Rene Matić.
Another talk celebrates the life and work of one of fashion's most daring and influential icons Leigh Bowery and Taboo nightclub, with fashion journalist NJ Stevenson, long-time friend and collaborator Sue Tilley aka 'Big Sue' and artist and living sculpture Daniel Lismore.
The Queer Bloomsbury After Party will feature live music, DJ, drag, cabaret, performances, games, live art and immersive installations, including London-based drag cabaret Lese Majeste Drag Kings and Things, dark-electro pop sensation Tom Rasmussen and Gal Pals' DJ Xzan.
As part of the experience, festival-goers will have the opportunity to take part in immersive art installations or enjoy pop-up performances in the walled gardens.
Live art-making will spill out in and around the outdoor spaces, including from performance artist David Hoyle.
In a special one-off, festival-goers can book a free Queer Charleston x Erotic Drawings house tour, featuring a display of Duncan Grant's erotic drawings.
A shuttle bus Service will run from Brighton"s Old Steine directly to Charleston in Firle and is bookable online for Day Ticket and After Party bookers.
