Seafront Gallery 54 Kings Road, Brighton

Kalms Herbal Remedies, a leading emotional wellbeing brand, created the exhibition in response to research showing that 42% of UK adults struggle to find moments of calm in daily life. Originally developed as a digital sanctuary, the Moments of Kalmfulness gallery has now been brought to life as a physical experience on Brighton’s iconic seafront. The exhibition explores the concept of ‘kalmfulness’ – a state of feeling peaceful and balanced amid everyday life – and encourages people to embrace small, achievable ways to reduce stress. Kalmfulness can be found in simple, everyday moments – from taking a few deep breaths to spending time outdoors or connecting with loved ones. This idea sits at the heart of the Moments of Kalmfulness gallery, which brings these everyday moments to life through calming imagery designed to help visitors pause and reset.

Visitors can explore a carefully curated collection of images capturing moments of peace and tranquillity. The gallery […]

Monarchs Anonymous

Monarchs Anonymous

The Rotunda Theatre: Bubble Regency Square, Brighton

Monarchs Anonymous. What happens when you force Henry VIII, Marie Antoinette, and history's most chaotic royals into group therapy? A hysterical historical mash-up where Kings clash, therapy endures, and laughter reigns supreme. The Monarchs are not amused. Marie is moping, Mansa Musa’s in a mood, and Tutankhamun has tottered off back to his mummy. Worse still, someone has leaked their secrets to the press! Can our long-suffering therapist, Dr. Thompson, stop the session from descending into chaos? Pull up a throne and come face-to-face with the biggest egos of the last 600 years. They are unfit to rule, unwilling to change, and quite frankly, a right royal pain in the past. Audiences are raving: “A riotous hoot! Like a history class with your favourite comedians!” “Hilarious, emotive, thought-provoking – a history lover's dream!” “Funny, original and plain bonkers!” Join us for a royal appointment you won’t forget. No time machine required! Note: the show will run for 90 mins without an interval
