Get down in Darktown this Friday: The Postmen play the arches

Join us this Friday evening, 27th October, as Jonny Hannah and The Postmen rock the arches here at ABtS.

Jonny gives a talk about his work at 6pm with performances from Jo Neary and The Postmen to follow. Don't miss out. Tickets are available here.

With so many red stickers on the gallery walls, it's lucky that Jonny is so prolific. His Dark Town Seaside Beano exhibition continues to draw the crowds, and he's been sending us new works every week. Come and see the latest delivery!

Rainbow brights for dark nights

The nights are drawing in and there's a definite nip in the air. We could get down about it, but instead we'd call it the perfect time to invest in some stylish and COLOURFUL knitwear from Brighton-based small batch knitwear designer Jo Cranston.

Beautifully crafted and with loads of designs to choose from, shop Jo's wonderful knits here.

Come rain or shine, we're open 11am-5pm everyday down between the piers on Brighton Beach. Come and see us!
