Brighton & Hove Pride turns 35 this year! Taking place on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd August, this year's theme is "The Power of Love." Expect RAYE headlining Saturday, the legendary Diana Ross on Sunday, plus sets from RuPaul, Jessie J and more. It's set to be one of the biggest weekends Brighton has ever seen, and as always, our brilliant Connected100 members are pulling out all the stops.
🥂 Exclusive Parade Watch Party at the Mercure Hotel
Back by popular demand! Our Connected100 and Social Club members get an exclusive terrace takeover at the Mercure Hotel, right on the seafront, for one of the best views of the parade in the city. Think welcome fizz from Bolney Estate, complimentary canapes, 15% off the bar, and a DJ party once the parade passes.
The Mercure's terrace spot is genuinely one of our favourite places in Brighton to soak up Pride, so if you're a member, don't sleep on this one.
📅 Saturday 1st August, 10am to 2pm
🌈 Bottomless Brunch at Redroaster
Fancy brunch with your parade views? Redroaster on St James Street is serving up Brighton's best bottomless brunch for Pride weekend, spritzes and all, with tables on the Dome terrace offering a brilliant vantage point for the action. Book ahead, tables won't last.
🎤 Pride Party at No. 124 Brighton
Over at No. 124 Brighton by GuestHouse, the Terrace Bar by Pearly Cow is throwing a proper Pride Party, DJ sets from 10am and a live performance from Drag Race UK's own Michael Marouli from 1 to 3pm. Tickets are £95 and include £75 of food and drink credit to spend as you like.
