It is Still 1985
Saturdays
Here comes Summer and two pages full of great
diverse events at which you could spend your time over
the next three months. If, like me, you’ve just spent a
few days rescuing the garden from winter’s desertion
it is tempting to stay there. Make a decision to get out
and about as much as possible making the most of
whatever good weather that may come our way.
The Haunt, Brighton
This hugely popular night is all about
celebrating the best 80s’ cheese and
epic ballads from the era of shoulder
pads and New Romantic glam. Be
prepared to test the strength of your
hairspray to Bananarama and the
B-52s, and raise lacy fingerless gloves
aloft to The Cure. Worship in the
church of all things garishly bright and
kitsch-beautiful every Saturday.

Barracudas
School holidays
Patcham High School & other locations
It’s not always easy balancing the kids’ holiday time with fun activities when you’re a
working parent. In fact what happens when you can’t get time off work at all during the
Easter break? That’s where Barracudas come in. Their activity day camps keep the
youngsters busy and entertained – archery? Motorsports? Pottery? Anyone? – while
you’re stuck in the office.

Gulliver’s Travels
Thurs 23rd June
Brighton Open Air Theatre
There’s not a soul on this planet who
doesn’t draw inspiration and awe
from Johnathan Swift’s classic tale of
tiny people, accidental giants, floating
islands and talking horses. Feed your
children’s imaginations this summer
with a truly magical performance,
and inspire them in all things stage
craft and fantastical. All played out in
Brighton’s (well, Hove’s actually) open
air theatre.
