Black Brighton Market is a place where Black People and People of Colour have the opportunity to sell their art, goods, services and perform to the general public. Creating equal opportunities and better profits within the BIPOC community. With our permanent residency at The Actor's Pub we are lucked out with food from The Caribbean kitchen all day. With traders across the entire top floor in two rooms, the theatre is centre stage for our headline performances, open mic and where we call out our raffle prizes. BBM has been the stage for some incredible, up and coming musicians living in Brighton, including Kymara, Steven Bamidele, MRISI, AVIJE and more. With an open mic feature, discover new performers with an array of performances, from poetry to comedy and everything in between. With so many special features, including a raffle draw with prizes created by the traders themselves, this market has everything you need for a day full of family-friendly fun! 2025 Market Days: Saturday 8th March - Celebrating International Days Every weekend in May - Artist Open House Saturday 5th April - Pre-Loved market Saturday 26th July - BARCO Bash Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th August - Pop-up at Madeira Drive Saturday 4th October - Black History Month and 3 year anniversary Saturday 6th December - Christmas / Kwanzaa market For more information on each event, pop-up places and to apply to trade, head to our official website and find us on social media platforms including Instagram and Facebook!

Join Guy Lloyd every month for a live podcast with a difference. Guy will be joined by a special guest to talk about life, love and whatever they fancy really. The hour-long podcast will be recorded in front of a live audience but here's the twist; Guy and his special guest will be painting each other's portrait, while they chat. And then at some point during the conversation and when they are bored of each other's face, they will paint a self-portrait. The audience will enjoy the chat and both Guy and his guest will reveal their artwork at the end of the podcast. And he's not showing off or anything but Guy has an A-Level in art (in 1988. Yes, he's that old). The theme of the podcast is how connection and art is good for the soul. At the the end of the year, all the art will be auctioned off to raise money for mental health charities. Guy's very special guest this month is comedian, Maisie Adam. Join Maisie and Guy for chats, giggles and (most probably) really bad art. Also, you are welcome to bring your own art materials and draw us, if you have nothing better to do. Just make us look pretty.
