// Welcome to TOM this Summer: Hello, With May festivals a happy memory, our Summer Season takes over, bringing even more quality events to Hove. We hope you’ll enjoy as much of it as you can; that’s why we’ve launched TOM’s Friends enabling you to See More Shows and Support Your Venue. Look out for the ‘Friends Discount’ logo throughout this programme. For those who haven’t visited us yet, we welcome you to make your first visit. TOM The Old Market is a dynamic cultural venue just outside Brighton city centre. TOM’s Main House is a 300-500 capacity room with the flexibility to showcase everything from live bands to exciting new theatre, cabaret or comedy. TOM’s Bar, open on all main event nights, also hosts its own entertainment, including some fantastic FREE comedy nights this season (see p4-5). We invite you to discover TOM, and take time to enjoy this enchanting cultural space.
See you this Summer! The TOM Team
