What’s on Brighton March 2026: BexBlu
Live music begins on Friday 6 March with UK producer BexBlu, performing with Paul Stephan at Patterns. BexBlu’s work blends grime-influenced vocals with jazz-led instrumentation, creating tracks that prioritise texture and structure over volume. His collaboration with Paul Stephan brings a shared attention to detail, offering an example of contemporary UK production that focuses on balance and control rather than excess.
Plantoids
On Saturday 7 March, Plantoid perform at Green Door Store, with support from Trip Westerns. Plantoid’s music draws on progressive rock traditions, incorporating shifting tempos, extended guitar sections and jazz-influenced passages. Their approach favours variation within each piece, avoiding predictable structures. Trip Westerns provide a contrasting but complementary sound, reshaping blues influences with a contemporary edge that grounds the evening’s more experimental elements.
Tessa Rose Jackson
Songwriting comes to the fore on Wednesday 11 March, when Tessa Rose Jackson appears at The Folklore Rooms. Following the release of her album The Lighthouse, Jackson’s work has been recognised for its thoughtful treatment of grief, memory and personal reflection. Her songs rely on careful arrangements and lyrical clarity, making this a performance that rewards attentive listening and suits the intimate nature of the setting.
Saint Ludo
Electronic music features on Friday 13 March with Saint Ludo, appearing at Quarters as part of a night presented by Monophonic. Saint Ludo’s sets draw on grime, jungle and bass-heavy styles, with a focus on fast tempos and continuous movement. The event reflects Brighton’s ongoing interest in underground club culture and offers an alternative to more mainstream electronic nights.
Gok Wan
Later in the month, on Saturday 21 March, Gok Wan brings his DJ work to Concorde 2. Known to a wide audience through television, Wan has also established himself as a DJ, playing house music and familiar club tracks. His sets tend to attract a broad crowd and focus on creating a relaxed, social atmosphere rather than pushing a specialist sound.
DILF Brighton
Brighton’s LGBTQ+ nightlife is represented on Saturday 14 March by DILF Brighton, held at Charles Street Tap. The one-night event is designed as both a dance and social gathering, welcoming bears, cubs, leathermen, pups, allies and the wider LGBTQ+ community. With resident DJs playing house-focused music, the emphasis is on inclusivity and social connection alongside dancing.
Family and community events also take place from Saturday 14 March. The Brighton Card Market is held at Brighton Racecourse, bringing together stalls selling trading cards, collectibles and related merchandise. With items ranging from low-cost finds to rare pieces, the market caters to both casual visitors and serious collectors. Additional features, including a games area and children’s zone, make it suitable for families spending longer at the event.
Lambing at Coombes Farm
Running from Saturday 14 March to Sunday 19 April, Coombes Farm opens its lambing season to the public. Visitors can see lambs being born, feed young animals and take tractor rides across the farm. The event offers an opportunity to learn about farming during one of the busiest periods of the rural calendar and is a popular seasonal outing for families.
From Friday 3 April to Sunday 12 April, the Easter Trail at Preston Manor takes place at Preston Manor. The self-led trail invites visitors to explore the historic house while searching for hidden golden eggs, combining a heritage visit with a simple activity for children during the school holidays.
What’s on Brighton March 2026: Nine Sixteenths
Arts and performance complete the month’s programme. On Tuesday 17 March, Nine Sixteenths is staged at The Old Market, blending theatre, dance and lip-sync to explore pop culture, identity and representation through a specific early-2000s media moment. On Friday 20 March, Epicene arrives at Ironworks Studios, where Paul Diello and his eight-piece band reinterpret songs by iconic women in music through a gender-blending cabaret format.
