One week to go - Brighton Cocktail Festival
There’s just one week to go until Brighton’s brand new city-wide festival of cocktails kicks off, with a lineup of 40 of the city’s best bars and over 120 exclusive festival cocktails!
Brighton Cocktail Festival is a celebration of Brighton & Hove’s exceptional cocktail scene, taking place from 19th to 28th September 2025 at participating venues around the city. Over this ten day festival, tickets get you access to unique festival cocktails for just £6 each, and non-alcoholic festival cocktails for just £4 each.
A lineup of 40 bars has been announced, from 1920s-style speakeasy Bar Valentino to graffiti whisky bar Cut Your Wolf Loose, Japanese-inspired Blossoms, art bar Helm Gallery, bee-inspired bar Apiary and beachfront bars Babble and Rockwater. There will also be an exclusive takeover from Julien Barnett, whose UK Top 50 Bar Gungho! closed its doors in February.
All 120 cocktails have been published on the Brighton Cocktail Festival Bar Lineup, and ticket holders can filter bars by area and spirit to create their own bespoke cocktail trails throughout the city.
“I moved down to Brighton & Hove after lockdown, and was absolutely blown away by the incredible cocktail culture here”, says Brighton Cocktail Festival Founder Harry Philippson. “People already know about Brighton’s amazing food scene, but I think it’s about time we also celebrated the exceptional bars, mixologists, and cocktails throughout the city. And what better way to do this than a city-wide cocktail festival where you can discover and support dozens of Brighton’s best bars - all within walking distance from each other.”
Ten day festival tickets are now on sale for just £20 here and you can find out more by following @brightoncocktailfestival on Instagram and TikTok.
