A Summer Evening with the Bees

If you have spent any time around the local folk scene, you might have come across The Bee's Mouth Folk Choir. They are a friendly group that typically gathers on Monday evenings between 19:00 and 21:00 at The Bee's Mouth on Western Road in Hove. This coming Saturday, 13 June 2026, they are moving away from their usual rehearsal space for a performance titled 'A Summer Evening with the Bees'. The event is taking place at the St Augustine's Arts and Events Centre in Brighton, a venue that often hosts community-focused gatherings and arts events.

The choir is preparing a programme that features fresh arrangements of traditional songs, alongside some of their own original material. Their selection draws from musical traditions in Sussex and beyond, offering a look at the kind of work they have been developing during their weekly sessions. It is a straightforward setup for anyone interested in hearing what the group has been working on lately, particularly if you have an interest in choral arrangements or folk music. The choir's approach to these songs reflects the collaborative nature of their weekly meetings, where they focus on building their repertoire together.

Doors for the evening open at 19:30. The venue will have a licensed bar operating throughout the event, so you can pick up a drink if you choose. Tickets for the performance are priced at £5.00. It is a fairly low-key way to spend a Saturday evening if you are looking for some live music in the area. Given the nature of the choir and the venue, it feels like a relaxed environment to listen to a set of songs that have been curated specifically for this date. Whether you are familiar with the choir's Monday night sessions or are just looking for something to do in Brighton this weekend, the event offers a clear look at their current repertoire without any unnecessary fanfare.
