Brighton is Britain's gay capital per square metre, and the scene lives mostly in Kemptown — St James's Street and the seafront below it. Cabaret and drag run midweek like other towns run football, and the club nights stack up hard on weekends. This page pulls tonight's confirmed listings straight from our calendar, twenty-minute fresh: shows, parties, quiz nights and whatever the Ledward Centre has on, plus which bars are open right now for a pint facing the sea. In summer, assume everything is busier and earlier than listed doors suggest.
