Bold Politics live with Zack Polanski and Caroline Lucas

If you’re interested in the future of progressive politics, mark your calendar for Monday, February 23rd. The popular podcast Bold Politics with Zack Polanski is coming to the Brighton Dome Concert Hall for a live recording, featuring a very familiar face: Caroline Lucas.

The event, organized by the Brighton & Hove Green Party, brings together Polanski, the current Co-Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, and Lucas, our former MP for Brighton Pavilion and ex-Party Leader. They are certainly two of the most recognized and influential figures in the Green movement, and seeing them discuss current affairs live in Brighton is a significant local event. This live episode is framed as an evening of topical discussion aimed at exploring the path forward for progressive ideas. The stated goal of the program is to "make hope normal again," which sets the tone for the conversation.

They plan to tackle some heavy but crucial subjects, including the economy, immigration policy, inequality, and the challenges of political leadership today. The evening is designed to be engaging, as the format includes a discussion followed by a Q&A session, giving the audience a chance to participate directly in the conversation.

For those planning to attend, the event takes place on Monday, February 23, 2026. Doors open at 6:15 PM, with the discussion starting promptly at 7:00 PM at the Brighton Dome Concert Hall on Church Street. Regarding tickets, the standard fee is £26.25. It’s worth noting that the organizers have set aside a specific allocation of free tickets for attendees who are currently unemployed or on low incomes. This ensures that the discussion remains accessible to everyone in the community, regardless of their financial situation.
