What's On in Brighton

Sea Life Brighton - Standard Admission — There is something quietly magical about stepping below the surface on the longest day of the year, trading sunshine for the eerie blue glow of a tunnel filled with sharks, rays, and creatures that look like they were designed by a fever dream. Sea Life Brighton opens at 10:00am, making it a perfect morning mission for families, curious solo visitors, or anyone who fancies starting their Sunday somewhere genuinely otherworldly. Prices are listed on the website, so check ahead and book early — this one fills up fast in summer.

Sussex V Hampshire CCC - Day 3 — Cricket on Midsummer's Day at the 1st Central County Ground — if that does not sound like a perfect English Sunday, nothing does. Day 3 of the Sussex versus Hampshire clash gets underway at 11:00am, and whether the match is poised on a knife-edge or sailing towards a declaration, there is nowhere more pleasant to spend a warm afternoon than watching red leather on willow with a cold drink in hand. County cricket has an unhurried charm that is almost impossible to replicate, so grab a spot on the boundary and let the afternoon unfold at its own pace.

ALL THEM WITCHES — If your Sunday needs a darker, heavier edge as the evening rolls in, All Them Witches at Chalk is exactly the remedy. The Nashville-born psychedelic rock outfit have built a devoted following on the strength of their sprawling, hypnotic live shows — the kind where you arrive thinking you know what to expect and leave slightly altered. Chalk is one of Brighton's best intimate venues, tucked beneath the arches with a sound system that does full justice to a band this sonically ambitious, and doors open at 6:00pm.

Shalamar: The Gold Tour - A Fifty Year Celebration — Fifty years of Shalamar, and what a reason to celebrate — the architects of some of the most joyful, shimmering soul and boogie ever committed to vinyl are bringing The Gold Tour to Brighton Dome at 7:30pm. This is the kind of night where the dancefloor fills up within the first song and does not empty until the very last note, a proper celebration of a catalogue that spans A Night to Remember to I Can Make You Feel Good and all the gold in between. The Dome is a stunning venue for a show like this, so dress up, go with people you love, and prepare to absolutely lose it.
