Our Festive Afternoon will be bringing Christmas cheer to the city centre on Saturday 6th December (2–6pm) – and everyone’s invited to join the celebrations!
Shoppers and visitors can look forward to a magical afternoon filled with festive fun, with our cheerful helpers handing out goodies and Christmassy performers including choirs, singers and a brass band popping up throughout the Brilliant Brighton area. Performers include: Some Voices, SheChoir, City of Stars, The Busketeers, South Coast Trombone Choir, Hit The Silk, and Jessica Hallam filling the streets with carols and festive favourites.
The much-loved festive window dressing competition also makes its return, with businesses across the city centre creating spectacular seasonal displays. The public will be invited to vote for their favourite, with both a lucky voter and the winning business each scooping a £100 Brilliant Brighton Gift Card, to be spent in 60+ of our businesses.
All of this will take place against the sparkling backdrop of our Christmas lights, proudly funded by the 517 businesses of the city centre BID, and this year, supported by Costa Coffee. Twinkling above the streets from mid-November, they’ll provide a warm and welcoming glow throughout the festive season.
There’s also some very special offers and promotions – from free chai to warm you up from the lovely folks at Dishoom Permit Room (just pop by their chai stand set up outside) to £10 off of one pair of shoes and £25 off of two pairs of shoes at Rieker, and complimentary mince pies and mulled wine, plus 10% off at The Brighton Box Gallery (both Dukes Lane) to name just a few!
Join us for an afternoon of festive fun, community spirit and Christmas magic – and help us celebrate both the season and Small Business Saturday in style!
