295 upcoming free events in Brighton & Hove
Brighton doesn't charge admission to be Brighton. A lot of what's good about the city is free. The seafront. The Lanes. North Laine. People-watching. But beyond the obvious, the events calendar is full of things that won't cost you anything.
Pubs put on free live music most weekends. Some of the best gigs in town don't have a cover charge. Gallery exhibitions are almost always free entry. The Brighton Museum doesn't charge. Community markets pop up in parks and on the seafront. Open mic nights are free to watch, and usually free to enter if you fancy getting up there yourself.
Brighton Fringe has pay-what-you-can shows. The Brighton Festival usually includes free outdoor performances and installations. Burning the Clocks is free. Pride's parade and park events are free. The street art is free to look at, obviously.
A few of the bigger venues run free preview events and launch nights. Community centres host free workshops and talks. Brighton's libraries run events. Parks have organised activities during school holidays that don't cost anything. Being skint in Brighton is less painful than most cities.
