Have Your Say: Friends Of Queen’s Park are going to use this year’s Picnic event to launch the first phase of a long awaited consultation on the future of the park. The Friends have been working with the Council towards finding ways of making the park a better place for everyone who uses it.  It is your park and we need to know what you think about it. We will have a stall open on the day, so please visit us and tell us what it means to you, and how we can maintain, preserve and improve this verdant corner of Brighton. Your opinion matters!
