Featured Events in Brighton and Hove in February 2025 (April Updated)

PUCK Rock Comedy at first may come across as an elite anti-establishment venue soley for sober punks, we’ve decided we should state that the branding we have applied (although I’m sure you will agree is absolutely perfect for what is essentially a coffee shop), is satire. You don’t HAVE to be Punks to enjoy the show. Take us for example, we’re not Punks. But what is Punk? If Punk Rock includes wannabe poets with a passion for good coffee and making tiny changes to this earth whilst we’re alive. In that case then yes. Then would be considered Punks. Now correct me if i’m wrong, but isn’t making the world a better place through the medium of occasionally bearable poetry what punks all about? “No” said a Punk.

AFLO. uses poetry as a vehicle to address hard-hitting topics, particularly racism and mental health, primarily speaking from her lived experiences. From protests on the streets of Brighton, to celebrations in hills of Jamaica, AFLO. has shared her rhythmic rhymes far and wide and has no intentions of stopping. Her highlights from 2024 so far include featuring in Verve Poetry Festival, expanding her practice during residencies in Anita’s Room at Brighton Dome, and heading to the magical fields of Glastonbury to share her work and host the open mic on the Poetry & Words stage. She has been published by Penguin Random House and self-published a poetry zine in 2023.

She is a significant force directing change in Brighton’s creative scenes and continues to sow seeds across the country. PABLO FRANCO I am Pablo Franco, a multi-disciplinary creative whose artistry is rooted in poetry—a medium through which I explore the profound emotional connections between humans and the natural world. As the co-director of @dimensionsbtn, a celebrated music and community networking platform, I channel this poetic spirit into curating live music and community-centred events in Brighton. Through my art, I seek to cultivate spaces of boundless creativity, offering a sanctuary where others can express, connect, and thrive. My work stands as a testament to poetry’s transformative power, a reminder that creativity is both for personal liberation and communal celebration. I recently graduated from the University of Brighton, where I worked endlessly to ensure the institution amplified diversity and inclusion within the curriculum. Through my studies I recognised the importance of honouring the richness of local histories. I saw the impact oral traditions had on preserving communities. Thus, poetry became a way to ensure that my story could be told in all its glory and placed within the collective tapestry of shared human experiences that make us what we are. Doors: 630pm Show starts: 7pm Grab your tickets now! 🎟️ About us: Poet's Palace is a platform that empowers spoken word artists to amplify their voices, connect with diverse audiences and inspire through the transformative power of poetry.

We grow inclusive artistic communities in spaces across the UK where artists can connect, engage and celebrate the art form. We are aiming to elevate spoken word to new platforms, expand into interdisciplinary collaborations, perform at festivals and help artists gain visibility and recognition for their work.

Where better to write than a bookshop with a cafe? When better than at 5am? Join other local writers from 5am on the first Wednesday of every month to write as the sun comes up. Coffee, tea and pastries available to kickstart your writing morning. We'll open the shop at 5am and you're welcome to join us then, or at anytime after that - and leave whenever you need to. The shop opens to the general public at 9.30am but if you're in full flow, you're free to stay as long as you like. Tickets are limited to 20 as we only have so many chairs and table space. While the majority of writers sit upstairs in the cafe, we also have chairs and tables on the ground floor and in the cosy basement, so feel free to spread yourself about throughout the bookshop - wherever you feel comfortable. We've had to increase our prices in 2025 because of the increase in Eventbrite fees, the minimum wage and Employers National Insurance. Tickets now cost £10 (including VAT) BUT in addition to including your first coffee or pot of tea, you will also get a 30% discount on any other drinks or snacks. The local bakery usually delivers our pastries at about 7.30am to give you that extra energy boost. This is a silent write session - there's no workshopping, just the motivation of being around other writers as the sun comes up. We can promise you a magical atmosphere. Why do we do this? Author and bookshop owner Cathy Hayward has regularly risen at 5am to write and she wondered if other local writers did the same. We started the 5am Writing Club in the bookshop as a trial on the Summer Solstice 2023. They've proved popular so they're now a monthly fixture and we'll keep running them as long as people keep turning up. If you have any questions, or feedback, email cathy@kemptownbookshop.co.uk Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable just because of the admin involved and Eventbrite's high fees - sorry.
