Brighton Festival
Events  
No two Brighton Festivals are ever the same.
You’ve heard of Artists’ Open Houses during the Brighton Festival, for example? Well, this more like an Artists’ Open County, with more than 800 Sussex artists showing their work in studios and galleries – as well as some rather more unusual locations – around the Lewes, Seaford and Newhaven areas. Pick up a map, join the trail and you’ll be able to meet the artists and buy their work direct from them.
