Forbidden Nights

Forbidden Nights is returning to Ironworks Studios in Brighton for a series of dates throughout the summer of 2026. You can catch the show on 27 June, 4 July, 11 July, 25 July, 8 August, 22 August, and 5 September. This theatrical variety show has been running for over a decade, and with more than 300,000 tickets sold since it began, it has established a consistent format. The production is strictly for an adult audience, aged 18 and over, and it is frequently booked for specific celebrations, including hen parties, birthdays, 'Dirty Thirty' milestones, and divorce parties.

The performance itself is a blend of different disciplines, featuring vocalists, aerialists, and fire acts. The organisers describe the performers as a hand-picked, multi-skilled cast. It is designed to be an interactive experience, allowing the audience to participate from their seats throughout the evening. For those who prefer a more immersive experience, there is an option to purchase a stage pass, which brings you directly into the performance space. The show has received specific descriptions from various publications, with LoveIt calling it 'hot and hilarious' and Metro describing it as 'truly jaw dropping'.

If you are planning to head down to the venue at 30 Cheapside, it is worth noting the schedule. Doors open at 19:00, and you need to make sure you arrive before the last entry time of 19:40, as the show begins promptly at 19:50. Ticket prices are tiered based on seating location: front row seats are £45, premium seats are £40, stalls are £35, and rear stalls are £25. There are also optional extras available, such as a stage pass for £40 and themed straws for £1. Once the show at Ironworks Studios concludes, your ticket includes free entry to the nightclub Pryzm to continue the night, and there is also a scheduled opportunity to take photos with the cast members before you leave the venue.
