Planning Your Next Event in Brighton

Event Hire in Sussex’s Seaside City 

This month we take a look at the delightful city of Brighton and our interesting venues available to hire for a variety of events and ideal for all types of gatherings.  

For many, Brighton is synonymous with seaside getaways, days on the beach, and ice creams. Located in Sussex, and only around an hour’s drive from London, much of Brighton is in the South Downs National Park and has been the destination of choice for many special occasions and holiday-goers. More recently though, Brighton has become a bustling city with much more to offer. With many referring to it as London-on-sea for its diverse and vibrant mix of cultures, Brighton is now a place to visit all year round. From the famous grade 1 listed pier to the winding, colourful, picturesque streets brimming with boutique shops, to the glorious south facing beach: you can almost feel the sea breeze on your skin. Now that restrictions are all but lifted, there’s once again the possibility for parties and gatherings to take place. Perhaps your office needs a long overdue catch up, or maybe the big day you’ve had to postpone for so long is finally coming around, or you’re even thinking ahead to the big Christmas corporate event: our outstanding venues in Brighton offer superb facilities, transport links, and atmosphere for you to consider whatever the occasion. 

Venue Highlight – The American Express Community Stadium 

Home to Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion, the Amex stadium was first opened in July 2011. As such, it boasts quality, modern facilities and breath-taking views of the pitch, whilst also providing free car parking for over 600 vehicles and a hospitality and catering capacity of 450. With frequent trains running from Brighton mainline station to Falmer, only a few minutes’ walk away from the stadium, The Amex is incredibly well connected. Access for disabled visitors is also of the highest standard, with access to and within the grounds unrestrictive.
