How you can hire The Bandstand on Brighton & Hove seafront for weddings or live music performances.
Beautiful and unique, The Bandstand is located on Brighton's vibrant seafront. It was first opened in 1884, it was restored to its original condition and reopened in 2009.
Designed by Phillip Lockwood a Brighton Borough Surveyor, The Bandstand is considered to be one of the finest examples of a Victorian bandstand still surviving in England today.
The original design featured a bridge linking the upper promenade with the Bandstand. This was removed in the late 1970s. The ground floor was used as public conveniences until it was closed in 2003 and is now a café.
Between April and September, The Bandstand is available to hire for weddings and ceremonies.
The ornate architecture is magnificently detailed offering the perfect choice for couples wanting an elegant beachside ceremony.
