Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year, especially for those who love going out and doing things. And, with three universities in one city, Brighton is absolutely packed full of Halloween events every year. If you’re in the seaside city this October, here are the best Halloween events in Brighton.
1. Boolesque
Where: The Mesmerist, 1-3 Prince Albert StreetBrighton, England, BN1 1HE
When:
The Mesmerist is a brilliant bar and venue by the seafront that offers great drinks and vibes. It hosts a range of events all year round in what the venue refers to as “The Flipside”, a separate part of the building, but this Halloween the venue is hosting two wonderful nights of spooky burlesque. With performers like Molly Bomb, Dixie Dread, Cherry Shakewell, and Sirona Thorneycroft. Anyone after something calmer than a rave or a spooky-themed night out should definitely check out this slightly lighter Halloween event in Brighton.
2. Nightmare in Brighton

When: Monday 31st October, 9pm onwards
Nightmare in Brighton is an event that has been gracing Brighton’s venues and students since 2012. It is a multi-venue event that brings fancy dress, ghoulish games, and resident DJs. The event is exciting, spooky, and packed full of monsters, tricks, and treats.

3. Halloween Discoland
Where: The Arch, Brighton
When: Sunday 30th October, 10pm onwards
Reportedly one of Brighton’s number one Halloween events, this night out at The Arch is a repeatedly sold-out Halloween experience. The event is a spooktacular Halloween all-nighter that offers 6 hours of non-stop partying to any visitors. The venue is transformed to provide partiers with everything from ABBA, Michael Jackson, and Queen as well as the usual commercial, hip hop, and house. There are specialist sound and lighting effects, ridiculously sick Halloween visuals and decor, and, best of all, a £250 prize for the best dressed.
