Things to do in Brighton, England: The Best Concerts & Shows

March 23, 2022 Yuk Petri

Londoners have been traveing to Brighton for beach getaways ever since the railway arrived here in 1841. The pebbled beach, Brighton Pier's amusement arcade and the Royal Pavilion are the main sights, but you'll also find hundreds of pubs and clubs catering to an energetic crowd.

Duke Of Wellington

Drink beer, watch sport and eat pies downstairs in our friendly community sports pub only two minutes from Brighton station. With six screens, we've got all the TV sports you could possibly want plus darts, pool table, board games and beer garden. Upstairs at Sweet @ The Welly, our new performance space has some of the best stand-up comedy and fringe theatre from Brighton and beyond!

Popped in for a drink while waiting for a train. I was going to have a beer and then saw that there was a well-priced tawny port on offer- very tasty. The barmaid was friendly and the general atmosphere was nice, especially with a few regulars in.

I recently saw Jimmy Carr here, & I have only seen comedy acts here, never a band. Much, much nicer than the larger Brighton Centre, this 2000 seater venue manages to have an intimate atmosphere despite it's size. I'm not sure there is really a bad seat in the house, I've sat upstairs & downstairs & always had a clear view, & the sound is good too. The staff are relaxed & friendly, & are happy to allow smokers to nip outside in the interval (unlike the awful o2 in London which refuses to let you out once you're inside). The beer on sale wasn't wonderful, but was still at (London) pub prices rather than the rip-off prices at London's o2 Arena. They definitely need more toilets though - it's the only concert venue I have ever been to where the queue for the Gents was longer than that for the Ladies. Strange.
