Festivals in Brighton
Brighton & Hove is a City of Festivals with an eclectic annual programme of events including Paddle Round the Pier; Brighton Pride and Burning the Clocks.
The main month for Festivals in Brighton is May as the Brighton Festival; Brighton Fringe; Artists Open Houses and the Great Escape take place in the city centre and in Sussex there’s the Elderflower Fields and Charleston Festivals too!
Brighton Festival
This year’s Guest Director is Malian musician Rokia Traoré who will be bringing three exclusive performances to Brighton. The programme as a whole features over 130 events with artists and performers from more than 20 countries all encouraging audiences to meet, listen and pass on their experiences. As always the Festival will open in spectacular style with the Children’s Parade.
Brighton Fringe
The Fringe continues to grow with over 1000 events taking place at 100s of venues across the city. The festival is open-access meaning literally anyone can take part so expect the unexpected as anything goes! Fringe City and the Family Picnics are back again this year. Plus popular pop-up venues the Spiegeltent and The Warren will return and the Tours programme gives you a chance to get out & about and see the city in a new way.
Artist Open Houses
Every weekend in May over 1000 artists exhibit their work in 200 venues across the city and beyond. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet the artists and buy directly from them, it’s also a chance to get a sneak peek inside some lovely houses and possibly pick up some interior design tips along the way! A lot of the houses also sell tea and cake to help keep you going as you walk around different areas of Brighton & Hove.
The Great Escape
This is the place to catch the next big thing with over 450 emerging artists performing in city centre venues – all of which are within easy walking distance of each other. Past performers have gone on to become huge stars including Adele; George Ezra; Royal Blood; Rag ‘n’ Bone Man; Mumford & Sons and Ed Sheeran.
