Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between matinee and evening shows in Brighton?

Matinees often draw families and can be calmer; evenings feel livelier and dressier. Choose based on energy level and next-day commitments.

Any advice for combining dinner and a show in Brighton?

Book dinner within a short walk, finish 45–60 minutes before curtain, and confirm the restaurant's pace. Prepay or keep the tab open only if you can return quickly.

What are reliable seat-selection heuristics for venues in Brighton?

Pick rows near the middle for balanced sightlines and sound. Avoid seats under deep overhangs, and choose aisles if you expect breaks. Balconies can offer great value with a full-stage view.
