Where to go in Brighton: events, concerts, games and shows worth your night
Brighton is London’s seaside and a music city of its own: more than a hundred venues between the station and the sea, a conference centre that hosts the tours, a Regency concert hall in the Dome, a festival that takes over May, and a night that starts on the beach and ends in the Lanes. Below is where to go in Brighton for a night out, with addresses, and what tends to be on when.
Concerts and live music in Brighton
The Brighton Centre (King’s Road) on the seafront takes the arena-scale tours; the Brighton Dome (Church Street, brightondome.org), the Prince Regent’s former stables, the seated ones; Chalk (Pool Valley) and Concorde 2 on the seafront the mid-sized, and the Hope and Ruin, the Prince Albert and Green Door Store under the station the new bands. Komedia on Gardner Street does comedy, cabaret and music, and Patterns on the seafront is the club.
Brighton nightlife: the Lanes, North Laine, the seafront and Kemptown
North Laine has the bars and venues; the seafront the clubs under the arches; the Lanes the cocktail bars; Kemptown the gay village and Brighton’s late nights. Bars close at 2 and clubs at 4; the last train to London is around midnight.
Theatre and comedy in Brighton
The Theatre Royal (New Road) takes the touring plays and musicals; the Dome’s Corn Exchange and the Attenborough Centre stage the rest; Komedia is the comedy room, and the Brighton Fringe in May is the largest open-access festival in England.
Sports in Brighton
Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium in Falmer, ten minutes by train, from August to May; Sussex cricket at Hove; the Brighton Marathon in April. Albion tickets go to members first, so the cup ties are the open ones.
Museums and galleries in Brighton
The Royal Pavilion is the sight; the Brighton Museum beside it and Fabrica, the gallery in a former church on Duke Street, are the art; Phoenix Art Space holds studios and shows. The Artists’ Open Houses in May turn hundreds of homes into galleries.
