For the past few years, one weekend in March, Transliving have taken over the south coast with a bang! Each year we have exclusive use of a Hotel and a mixed crowd of Transvestites, Cross-Dressers, Transsexuals, partners and lovers come together for a fun filled weekend where they can be themselves in a safe environment without fear of ridicule and harassment.

The Hotel is situated just off Grand Parade, opposite the Bandstand and only minutes from the main shopping centre, theatres and beach.

Each year the weekend consists of three night’s bed, breakfast, evening meal and entertainment from as little as £155.00 per person. One of the highlights of the event is our annual Miss Transliving International pageant, which gives everybody taking part the perfect opportunity to really glam up and strut themselves! The three winners then of course win a fabulous haul of prizes by our sponsors which include a mixture of shopping vouchers, makeovers, photo-shoots and a year’s membership to Transliving. In addition to Miss TLI the weekend also has other optional theme nights with entertainment and a 5 course Gala Dinner on the Saturday night.

The weekend has become so popular (we always end up with a long waiting list of people desperate to get in!) with all those who attend, that for 2012 we have been asked to hold a second weekend a year, so from 2012 we will be holding weekends in March and in October, to check availability for 2012 or to book online now please visit: http://www.transliving.co.uk/tli-online/index.html
