What's On in Brighton
Tuesday 04 August 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Brighton does Tuesday like nowhere else — there is a giddy, salt-aired energy to the city even on a midweek afternoon, and tonight it spills across venues from the seafront all the way up to the backstreet bars and candlelit galleries. Whether you are starting your day nose-to-nose with a shark or ending it laughing until your sides hurt, the city has something lined up that will make this feel like the best Tuesday you have had in a long time.
Highlights

Sea Life Brighton - Standard Admission — Kick off your Tuesday morning with one of the most genuinely jaw-dropping attractions on the south coast — a glittering underworld of rays, seahorses, and sharks just steps from the beach. The tunnels and tanks at Sea Life Brighton have a way of making adults feel like children again, and for actual children the effect is nothing short of magical. Doors open at 10:00am, so get there early and beat the queues — check the website for the latest admission prices and booking details.

Blowout UK: The Divided Kingdom Tour - Brighton — Blowout UK roll into The Brunswick Cellar Bar at 6:00pm for what promises to be a sweat-soaked, full-throttle evening of live music as part of their Divided Kingdom Tour. The Brunswick Cellar Bar is exactly the kind of low-ceilinged, brick-walled room that turns a good gig into a great one, pressing the crowd close to the stage and turning the volume into something almost physical. Tickets are £10–£35, so grab yours quickly before this one sells out.

The Secret Comedy Club Open Mic AKA See You Next Tuesday — Tucked inside the charming Artista Cafe and Gallery, the brilliantly named See You Next Tuesday open mic night is a Brighton institution for a reason — a rotating cast of comedians at every level, from first-timers shaking with nerves to seasoned acts who know exactly how to work a room. At just £5 and starting at 7:00pm, it is the best-value laugh in the city tonight, in a venue that feels more like a friend's living room than a comedy club, which somehow makes everything funnier.

Winter Gardens + 5 Degrees North + The Downtons — The Prince Albert hosts a triple-bill of live acts — Winter Gardens, 5 Degrees North, and The Downtons — kicking off at 8:00pm and offering exactly the kind of unpredictable, discover-something-new evening that makes Brighton's music scene so special. Three different acts on one stage means three chances to find a new favourite band, and the Prince Albert's intimate room ensures that wherever you stand, you are right in the thick of it. Check the website for ticket details and to find out more about the artists on the bill.
