Month: January 2024

Congrats – you’re through arguably the year’s bleakest month! After making it to payday and successfully avoiding the onslaught of Blue Monday marketing, treat yourself by putting one of this weekend’s events in your diary. Take a look at our picks of what’s going on in the city, from wholesome gallery visits, to preloved markets and a night of beachside partying. Spark your creativity at a wellbeing workshop If your New Year’s resolution was to resurrect an abandoned creative project, we’d definitely recommend joining Run Like the Wolf for their first women’s workshop of the year. The three-hour session includes mark-making and visualisation exercises to help you tap into your creative genius, before jumping into creating a collaborative piece of art. You’ll be coached by talented local artist Amy Isles Freeman, who’ll be on hand to help you create your next masterpiece.Saturday 27th January; 3pm – 6pm, £40.79Selina Hotel, 135 Kings Road, Brighton, BN1 2HXrunlikethewolf.com Join Sussex Colour Walk for a vibrant stroll We know, the thought of tackling whichever jauntily named storm has hit the coast this week isn’t the most appealing. However, there’s only so long you can stay inside watching people disagreeing over who’s the group's Traitor(s), so dig out your brightest coat and join the Sussex Coast Colour Walk for a stroll around Helm Gallery. For this weekend’s wander, the dopamine-dressed group are visiting the current colourful exhibition by Kent-based artist Margo in Margate.
