Brighton Festival 4 May 2024

As the sun goes down on Brighton pier, the city is buzzing with an artistic fervour—the Brighton Festival is back! What started as a small gathering of artistic minds in 1967 has evolved into a treasure trove of the arts, dazzling visitors every May. Starting today, the festival will see a tapestry of over 120 eclectic events that will last until May 26. Adults and children alike are invited to revel in a world where literature leaps off the page, music fills the air and circus acts defy gravity. From Nadia Shireen"s live podcasts with literary giants to Scott Silven"s English-exclusive magic show, "Wonders", this year"s festival is an oasis of premieres and exclusives. So, are you ready for Brighton to take to the stage?
