Brighton & Hove is gearing up for another taste of October Unpacked returning in 2026 following a successful debut last year. The month-long celebration shines a spotlight on the city’s thriving food, drink, arts and cultural scene, with venues, makers, artists and independent businesses invited to get involved. From live music and pop-ups to workshops, tastings and one-off experiences, it’s a chance to put your business in front of thousands of locals and visitors. Best of all, it’s completely free to take part, with Discover Brighton once again hosting the official website and producing the printed and digital event guide.
