Traditional Family Fun!

Throughout this month, Brighton Beach welcomes guests to celebrate one of the greatest old-fashioned puppet shows loved by all ages - Punch and Judy! Brighton is know to have helped this world famous show become as popular as it is, and it's back once again!


The ever growing puppet show dates back to as far as the 16th century, and has survived the centuries! It got us thinking about timeless family games and entertainment.

Many of us will remember playing certain games such as Snap or Dominoes with our parents or siblings when we were young, but are they something you never really grow out of? Perhaps it is the feeling of nostalgia and happy memories that make us go back to these family favourites!

Whether you love an evening in with a board game or enjoy outdoor activities in the garden, you can guarantee hours of fun with our selection of Traditional family games, not forgetting our lovely Traditional Bingo Game and Five Game Compendium for a few different choices!

We're halfway through one of Brighton's biggest celebrations of the year, and we haven't been disappointed! There's been something for everyone, from fancy dress and book-reading for kids, to plays and live music performances in the city's best-loved venues.


So what's in store for the last few days of one of the biggest highlights in the UK's event calendar?

See a screening of her 'docu-mockumentary" her Master's Voice, alongside a live performance guaranteed to leave both adult and kids wanting more.

Carousel: What goes on at fairground after closing time? You'll find out in this enchanting journey through dramatic movement with an equally enticing soundtrack - meeting all the weird and wonderful characters along with way. For a breathtaking performance of energetic choreography and music, visit the Southpaw Dance company on Friday 22 and Saturday 23 to experience at atmosphere you won't find anywhere else. 


How We Used To Live: This is definitely one for history enthusiasts and vintage lovers. Narrated by Ian McShane, it's a film of rare footage of London from the fifties through to the eighties. See the transformation of England's capital and an insight into its developing nightlife, vehicles and housing. The brains behind the idea and who made it a reality are nineties band Saint Etienne and filmmaker Paul Kelly, who will be on hand to give a special treat to their viewers with a live performance of the intriguing soundtrack too!
