Events in Brighton And Hove From 11th May – 17th May 2026

This week in Brighton and Hove, there’s something worth your time. Check out the Rebel Resistors Radio Club at Brighton Unitarian Church, 11-year-old girls building radios and sharing visions for the future in a global network. It’s a rare chance to see art and activism in action. If you’re after something more intimate, try the dance performance I’m sorry to disappoint you all at The Dance Space, where soundscapes and projections explore urban isolation. For a livelier night out, head to Horizon for Milkshake Presents The FRAT PARTY, or catch Snakepit w/ Killbox and Audio & Ed Rush at The Volks Nightclub. On Sunday, Barrington Levy brings reggae to Chalk, a Brighton-exclusive gig with special guests. Kids and families aren’t left out, Go Kid Music Club returns with Animal Jam at Spiegelgardens Wundabarn, full of animal-themed songs and a kids’ open mic. All these events are spread across the city, so consider your journey. The Lanes can be tricky to navigate with limited parking, and the seafront gets crowded on weekends. Brighton railway station and the A27 are the best ways to get around, though public transport links to Hove are still patchy. A short drive away, you’ll find venues like the Brighton Unitarian Church and Spiegelgardens Wundabarn, both of which are worth the trip. The city was unified in 1997 and granted city status in 2001. Check the listings below for times and full details. Your best bet is to plan ahead, especially if you want to avoid peak congestion near the beach and Palace Pier.
