What's On in Brighton

Sea Life Brighton - Standard Admission — Kick off your Tuesday with something genuinely wondrous — Sea Life Brighton is one of the oldest aquariums in the world and it never loses its magic, whether you are five or fifty-five. Wander through glowing ocean tunnels, come face-to-face with sharks, and watch rays glide overhead in that particular way that makes the rest of the world feel very far away. Doors open at 10:00am, and prices are listed on the website — well worth checking ahead to book your slot.

The Lemonheads — If you came of age in the nineties, or you simply love scrappy, sun-soaked American indie rock, tonight at Chalk is going to feel like a gift. Evan Dando and The Lemonheads have lost none of their effortless cool, and Chalk — that gloriously raw railway arch venue under Brighton station — is absolutely the right room for them. Doors at 6:00pm, so get there early and claim your spot near the front. Check the website for tickets before they go.

Michael Ball: Glow UK Tour 2026 — Brighton Dome is one of the most beautiful concert halls in Britain, and Michael Ball filling it on a Tuesday evening is exactly the kind of event that reminds you why live performance matters. His voice is as rich and warm as ever, and the Glow tour promises full orchestral glamour and the kind of singalong moments that leave you slightly tearful in the best possible way. Showtime is 6:45pm — check the website for tickets and treat yourself or someone who deserves a proper night out.

The Secret Comedy Club Open Mic AKA See You Next Tuesday — For just £5, Artista Cafe and Gallery becomes a brilliant little pressure cooker of emerging comedy talent every Tuesday night, and this edition is not to be missed. Open mic nights like this are where you see comics before they get famous — the room is intimate, the laughs are real, and occasionally something genuinely brilliant happens that you will be telling people about for years. Grab a drink, settle in from 7:00pm, and prepare to be surprised.

The Official 2026/27 Brighton and Sussex ROX Pass — If you are planning to make Tuesday nights a regular feature of your social life, the ROX Pass is an inspired investment — one wristband unlocking a whole season of Brighton and Hove nightlife across multiple venues, from just £8 up to £25. Starting from 10:00pm, this is the city's nightlife scene presenting itself in its most ambitious, collaborative form. Snap up a pass via Skiddle and let Brighton's after-dark world become your playground.

CU Next Tuesday | SUSSEX UNI FRESHERS Initiation Party| 22/09/26 — Freshers' week only happens once, and Quarters Brighton is making absolutely sure Sussex University's new arrivals do it properly. From 10:30pm the dancefloor will be packed with the energy that only a room full of people experiencing everything for the very first time can generate — chaotic, joyful, and completely unforgettable. At £3 to £9 a ticket, there is no cheaper way to launch your university years in style.
