Brighton - Arts & Theatre
A quirky, characterful seaside escape beloved for its inclusive community spirit and freewheeling sense of hedonism, Brighton is much more than merely a weekend getaway destination. Often dubbed “London-By-Sea”, its trendsetting arts and music scene consistently thrives thanks to the swathes of gigs venues, comedy clubs, festivals, storied theatres, and vibrant nightlife spots that burst out of the welcoming, walkable city’s many nooks and crannies.
