Festival news

I can't believe it but Festival time is almost upon us! Is it just me or does it seem to come round more quickly each year? Not that I'm complaining as it is a great time to be in the city as there is always so much going on. And while old favourites are back including the Children's Parade, the Big Splash, Fringe City and the Ladyboys of Bangkok there are a couple of exciting new things happening this year.


If you find that you are struggling to keep up with everything happening during the Brighton Festival or want to hear some debates and reviews then make sure you tune in to Brighton Festival radio sponsored by VisitBrighton. And as it is associated with us you know it's going to be marvellous ;) The radio station is already live to get you in the mood for the start of the Brighton Festival on Saturday so tune in to 87.7 FM or listen live through the festival website.

A new addition to the Brighton Festival Fringe is Residence a special pop-up restaurant which will just be open during May. The restaurant will be on Whitecross Street near Brighton Station and the reason for its name is there will be an artist in residence who will create an original piece of work on site in front of, and perhaps including, the diners. All of the artwork will then be auctioned in order to raise money for a local charity. The restaurant will be open for lunch, pre-theatre and dinner menus Tuesday - Saturday.
