The event celebrated the launch of a unique collaboration between Fatboy Slim, Brighton-based artist Emily Bowyer and Pepita Coffee, featuring three limited-edition coffee tins showcasing Emily’s artwork, alongside a collection of exclusive signed prints. Fans travelled from across the city for the chance to meet Norman in Dukes Lane and have their purchases personally signed during the one-night-only event.

The Brighton Box Gallery, an independent LGBTQ+-owned gallery specialising in affordable contemporary art, organised the event to celebrate the launch of the exclusive collection in partnership with Pepita Coffee (co-owned by Norman Cook) and Brighton artist Emily Bowyer.
The collection included three limited-edition Pepita Coffee tins featuring Emily’s artwork, alongside a series of exclusive A3 prints. The event was supported by Brilliant Brighton (the city centre’s business improvement district) and Dukes Lane.
Sean Headley, owner of The Brighton Box Gallery said: “As an independent gallery, we’re passionate about championing local artists and creating experiences you simply can’t find anywhere else. This collaboration brought together music, art and independent business in a way that perfectly reflects Brighton’s creative spirit. It was fantastic to welcome both familiar faces and visitors from further afield to Dukes Lane, we were blown away by the response!”
Shelley Welti, Marketing & Events Manager for Brilliant Brighton BID said: “It was wonderful to see Dukes Lane come alive for such a uniquely Brighton event. Bringing together one of the city’s most celebrated musicians, a talented local artist and an independent gallery created a fantastic evening that celebrated the creativity our city is known for while supporting local businesses.”
