May Bank Holiday Events Brighton 2026

The May Bank Holiday which follows two weeks after the Easter break is another unmissable chance to bask in the greatness of time off work, and after what's seemed like an eternity of winter, who can blame us for wanting to cut loose and celebrate.

Brighton typically has loads on offer over the extended weekend, with the town unleashing some of its best club nights, live gigs and art shows for the occasion.

The weekend also stars the Brighton Music Conference - two days of focus on innovation, education and the key issues facing the electronic dance music sector. Thousands of experienced music industry professionals, the next generation of DJs and producers as well as electronic music enthusiasts head to the event each year. An impressive array of official after parties, like the Brapp showcase also appear across both nights.
