A Sparkling Sussex Soiree at the Museum

If you are looking for something a bit different to do on the evening of June 27, 2026, there is a charity event happening at the Brighton Toy and Model Museum. It is called A Sparkling Sussex Soiree at the Museum, and it is part of the wider Brighton Oyster Festival, which runs across the city from June 19 to June 28. The museum, located at 52-55 Trafalgar Street, is opening its doors for an evening that combines a look at their collection of toys and trains with a tasting of local sparkling wines.

The event focuses on Sussex produce, specifically featuring sparkling wines from the Stopham and Roebuck estates. Alongside the drinks, there will be seafood canapés prepared by chefs from Burger & Lobster, Blossoms, and Nostos. If you have specific dietary requirements, there is a vegetarian option available, though you need to request this in advance. It is worth noting that the event is strictly for those aged 18 and over.

Regarding the timing, there is a slight variation in the information provided by the organisers: Eventbrite lists the event from 19:00 to 21:00, while Visit Brighton suggests 19:30 to 21:00. The ticket price is set at £47.50. All proceeds from the evening go directly to the museum’s charity, which supports the ongoing preservation of their collection. It is a straightforward way to spend an evening in the city, supporting a local institution while sampling some regional food and drink.
