CONNECTED BRIGHTON

Lyndsey Clay, founder of Connected Brighton, is getting ready for an action-packed month of new networking events

“We are springing into Spring here at Connected Brighton HQ. I love this time of year when everything starts to feel brighter as Brighton starts to come alive again post Winter. The daffs are out and the seagulls get noisier as the mornings get lighter. Ah, the relaxing squawks of seagulls. Who doesn’t love that sound? (Nobody - nobody loves that sound).

There’s plenty happening in March to tickle your taste buds with new restaurants opening, new offers, and new shows in the city. Check out the Secret Comedy Club in their latest Dolphin Square location with special tickets on Tuesdays. Or, try the recentlyopened restaurant Carne in Hove. After your meal, why not try a cocktail at the freshest bar in Seven Dials, The Brighton Cocktail Club.

We’ve got Singles Nights planned with The Single Sessions at The Southern Belle, and so many other cool events with Connected Brighton. We start with Beer Tasting at Bedlam Brewery, and will try the new Peaky Blinders experience. What about dinner and music at our favourite Greek restaurant, Nostos in Hove? Download the Connected Brighton app or see our website for a full calendar, and sign up to meet new people. You will be supporting independent businesses all at the same time, because we love keeping Brighton unique and boutique!

I’ll be walking the i360 this month to try out their extreme activities which also includes abseiling. If you can hear screaming on the 18th March, it’s me. I half can’t wait to see the city from that view, but am also half petrified. I’ll let you know how I got on next month (#prayforclay).

In other exciting news, Brighton Fringe tickets are now available so we are getting our diaries aligned to max out as many shows as we can. This year there will be a new festival site to explore - Caravanserai - with performances, hang out spots, bars and pop ups. I can’t get enough of the Brighton Festival, AND the Great Escape is back too. It’s all go people. Block out your diary and let’s hang out.

Have a fab March!”
