Save the date! We’re back with more BITE in June: the Brighton Oyster Festival.

Fifteen of the city’s top bars and restaurants will be serving up an oyster snack plus your choice of sparkling wine, cocktail or Fever-Tree 0% cocktail for just £15.

Curate your own oyster trail visiting multiple venues from Friday 19 - Sunday 28 June, or simply drop in for a bite and bubbles.

We’re also running a programme of one-off evening charity events including a Sparkling Sussex Soirée featuring local wines at Brighton Toy & Model Museum and the return of our ever-popular Cocktails & Canapés Under The Sea at SEA LIFE Brighton aquarium.

With further dining events at Lost in the Lanes, Crazy Goose and Burger & Lobster plus a professional shucking competition at English’s of Brighton, there’s never been a better time to BITE into Sussex with us.

Everything you need to know is at www.bitesussex.com

As the final hours of the cocktail week come to pass, it's been a blast! We hope you've all had as much fun as we have. It's fantastic to be able to celebrate the cocktail culture of the city ... and have a cheeky few beverages along the way.

It's not over yet though! So be sure to stop by your favourite cocktail destinations for the fantastic £9,5 cocktails while you still can. Cheers to that!

Everything you need to know about our other venues and all they have to offer as part of BCW25 can be found at www.brightoncocktailweek.com
