☀️It’s (finally) that time of the week again, so grab a brew and check out our pick of what to do this fine weekend☀️

🎭Don’t miss BBC Radio Sussex legend @allison.ferns in her first one-woman show this Sunday, @flutter_bye_play. Transporting you back to the 80s, the immersive play takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as Mary unpacks her once promise-filled life. Can she rise again? Afterwards, embrace the era of epic shoulder pads at the non-stop 80s classics-filled after-party @ironworksstudiosbrighton

😋Make the most of the longer days with a beachside stroll followed by breakfast, whopping great cakes, fresh flavour-packed lunch or supper over sweeping sea views at the gorgeous @readingroombrighton

🍍Hunt down a pineapple and lug it to @fattoamanopizza to enjoy their controversial pineapple-topped pizza special for free (pineapple-on-pizza-haters, you’ll be converted, you have been warned)

🎨Dose up on culture (and coffee and cocktails) as @helmgallery_’s latest exhibition, Rare, kicks off. This lovingly curated show celebrates works from some of the most sought-after contemporary artists, like Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst

📚After a new book? Head over to @gettopuck on Saturday and Sunday to browse their charity book sale (proceeds to Palestine Action UK) over a cup of their excellent coffee. Prices start at 50p, so what’s not to love?

☘️Get stuck in to two days of St Paddy’s day action at the @fiddlerselbow_btn with a bigger-than-ever version of their annual street party featuring Irish music, dancing, rugby, and oysters, washed down with bucketloads of the dark stuff

🎞️Fancy some late-night cult cinema? Stroll over to Duke’s After Dark @dukeofyorks for David Lynch’s Blue Velvet on Saturday

🌟Coming up next week…🌟

⭐️Are you feeling festive yet? We’ve got a gorgeous Christmassy comp for you to get you in the mood:

⭐️We’ve teamed up with the lovely people @sofarbrighton to offer one lucky person the chance to win a ticket and drinks bundle for two to one of their Christmas shows.

⭐️Known for turning cool everyday places into intimate music venues, every @sofarsounds gig is different but always offers the chance to discover new music in a brilliantly immersive setting.

⭐️We took the footage here at last week’s show at the glorious @brightontoymuseum, which featured three mesmerising acts: @amypalmermusic, @danhoddmusic and @llsn____ - truly one to remember.

⭐️Got a gig buddy you’d like to take with you to one of their next shows? Tag them in the comments and head over to the website to enter (link in bio)!
