Events in Brighton And Hove From 4th May – 10th May 2026

Home · Events in Brighton and Hove This Week

You can find events across Brighton and Hove this week, with a strong focus on music and family activities. Check out the Brighton Dome for a free family fun day celebrating 10 years of the Our Place arts programme, or head to The Lanes for a bottomless brunch experience at Enigma Stock Exchange Bar. Live sets include the Fretful Federation Mandolin Orchestra at St George’s Church and a special DJ set by System X at Tide Nightclub to mark their 10th anniversary. There are also club nights at venues like Concorde 2, where Dusky performs an all-day beachfront terrace party, and The Volks Nightclub, which hosts DJ battles and free vinyl-only terrace parties. For families, Raver Tots returns to Pryzm Brighton with a dance party suitable for kids. The city’s LGBTQ+ nightlife is active, especially around St James’s Street, and several parks including Preston Park and Hove Lawns offer green space for relaxation. Parking near the seafront and in The Lanes is limited, and public transport, including bus routes and the railway, is the most reliable way to travel. Consider arriving by train to Brighton railway station for easy access. Events range from free community gatherings to ticketed performances. Check listings below for times and venues.
