Events in Brighton And Hove From 6th April – 12th April 2026

You can find a varied programme of cultural activity across Brighton and Hove this week, from The Lanes to King Alfred’s Way and near Preston Park. Live music includes an experimental set by local collective Vexed Sound at North Street venue, where DJs blend ambient textures with jungle rhythms in a space known for its acoustic design. Further along the seafront, Brighton Open Mic returns to The Salt Room , a converted pub near the Palace Pier , offering slots every Tuesday and Thursday evening; acts range from spoken word performers to multi-instrumentalists exploring self-composed material.

For younger attendees, interactive workshops run at Hove’s community centre during weekends. These include hands-on textile art using recycled materials, led by artists involved in Brighton Digital Studio’s youth outreach programme. One session on Saturday 8 April features a collaboration with local schools and focuses on creating wearable sculptures inspired by sea-life motifs observed along the coastal path near West Beach.

Discussions continue to be prominent: a panel organised through The Pavilion at Hove Town Hall explores identity politics among young adults, drawing from experiences across Sussex coast communities. On Friday 10 April, an afternoon session hosted in partnership with Brighton & Hove Mind takes place inside the central library , it focuses on mental health resources available within public transport hubs.

Family-friendly offerings include a spring-themed day at American Express Stadium on Saturday 6 April , free entry for all and featuring outdoor games led by local volunteers. The event runs from midday to four, with refreshments served near bus stop 72B.
