Featured Events in Brighton and Hove in May 2025 (August Updated)

Karimi uses a range of methods, including monotypes, wood- and linocuts and gouache; combined, they create a lively dialogue between the artist and his work. Landscapes and views are often merely hinted at – humans are the true heart of Karimi’s work, appearing as portraits, in classic poses, as lying and seated nudes, alone and in groups. The room around them is diffuse, sometimes suggested by a doorway flooded with light, other times by another person appearing at the edge of the picture. Two people face one another, rigid as statues, separated by a light expanse of color, of water? His figures seem delicate and brittle, as does the scenery they move within. They all portray small episodes within a unique moment – like the worm crawling towards the apple – that disappear almost before we have fully grasped their significance.

C Turtle C Turtle are one of those bands whose sound people can’t seem to pin down. Mercurial and moody, theirs is a protean kind of oozing fuzzy-jumper rock that’s as much about slickly spun lyrical poetry and unfiltered emotion as it is fractal riffs and howling feedback whines yapping at their heels. The London band's latest album, Expensive Thrills, unfurls a handsome union of existential reflection and observation that humanity is seemingly going backwards. From head to toe the record bursts with influences spanning the epochs of grunge, alternative rock and indie – from Pixies, Pavement and some of the bands that came through the iconic New Zealand label Flying Nun Records in the 80s/90s like 3Ds and The Clean – yet with an effortless modern zeal that has C Turtle standing head and shoulders with other contemporary trailblazers in bar italia and Lime Garden. SLAG SLAG are making Math Rock sexy. SLAG formed in Brighton, late 2023. SLAGs guitar riffs are actually kind of crazy when you think about it. SLAG wear some really cool outfits on stage sometimes. SLAGs singer could be a man if you closed your eyes and listened closely, but she isn’t. SLAG released the song Ripped in September and everyone seems to really like it. SLAG released a workout video on YouTube. SLAGs live shows are awesome - lots of people have said so. SLAG have plans. Oral Habit The ear rattling psychic dream, of choked up acid punks.

Each theme will come with learning different techniques, so every class is always a bit different and new. Who's it for: These classes are most suitable for beginners, but if you already have knowledge of painting you never know what new thing you might learn! We have a few people who do other kinds of art - eg a sculptor, crocheter, digital artist, but want to try something new. What's the vibe: These classes are very low pressure so if you're someone who's a bit anxious about starting art again, or trying it for the first time, this genuinely is a really good place to start. Many people who come to the class haven't painted since school but end up really enjoying the experience (even if it goes a bit wonky!). Whether you want to just come to one session, or many! You're welcome to to do whatever fits with your schedule / life. What's included: All materials are supplied 🖌️ 🎨 4 week block discountGet 4 classes for the price of 3!

I started teaching watercolours in March 2023 which is exciting because its been more than a year now! Multiple times week I run beginner watercolour classes where each session we have a different theme, generally to do with nature. This year I'm looking forward to running day courses, or some courses that span over a few weeks where we can get really stuck in to a particular subject. My background is in illustration which I studied in Bristol from 2016 - 2019. I have previously worked in a bit of editorial illustration under the name 'Zara Wilkins'. The thing I love most about watercolours is that it is so versatile. There are so many different ways it can be used, so many effects that you can create with different levels of water, pigment, paper weights and brushes. There doesn't really seem to be an end to what you can do with it. Teaching continues to be such a fun experience and I really look forward to every class I run.

Always friendly, always brilliant! Powered Up Business Networking (PUBNetworking) is an “out of hours” networking event that does away with the usual networking formalities. You’ll get to learn about the people behind the business - without a torrent of sales pitches …and bland tea and coffee. And you’ll get to have a lot of laughs whilst you’re at it! As you know, the best business connections are the people you want to spend time with outside of work. They’re the people you can trust, and whose company you enjoy. PUBNetworking is the place to find them. We have a loose structure, relaxed atmosphere and the opportunity to learn from other business experts - with no strings attached. Just bring yourself, your e-ticket and your best smile and you’re good to go. Each event has four objectives… Meet awesome people We have a wide range of business people that attend.

In a relaxed environment, everyone feels comfortable and the connections you make are less forced, and more genuine. You’ll get to know each person in more detail - and have a good time doing so. Learn things without pitches Each event is productive and valuable. And we want everyone to walk away having learned something new. Our speakers offer genuine value, without sneaky sales pitches. We want you to take what you learn and use it to benefit your business. Have fun And above all, we want you to have fun. Sometimes that’s easier with a drink in your hand (it also makes the terrible jokes slightly more tolerable…). Our networking events are all about you, your passions and your business success. What’s happening this month? For this meeting, our speaker is the awesome Peter Reynolds and his talk is called 'Identifying various customer types and adapt your strategy accordingly.' This session will cover customer profiling, enabling us to understand how others communicate and make decisions, enhancing relationship building.
