Brighton Festival
Events  
No two Brighton Festivals are ever the same.
There’s jazz, there’s blues and a whole lot more besides as August sees the pretty town of Rye rammed with music of all sorts, in venues of all shapes and sizes. Churches, pubs, open-air venues and street corners host artists from across the world in a summer celebration of international music.
