Good People VII: 1st Birthday

If you have been keeping an eye on the local scene, you might have noticed that the Good People collective is marking a milestone this month. They are celebrating their first anniversary with an event titled Good People VII: 1st Birthday, scheduled for Saturday, 23 May 2026. It is taking place at the Black Lion, located at 14 Black Lion Street, Brighton. The organisers have planned this as a day and night party, utilising both the indoor and outdoor spaces of the venue to accommodate the celebration.

One of the notable aspects of this event is that it is free to attend. While some listings might show a 'TBC' status regarding pricing, the primary information confirms it as a free Bank Holiday party. The schedule is quite extensive, with the doors opening at 14:00 and the music continuing until 03:00 the following morning. Given the nature of the venue and the event format, it is worth noting that this is an 18+ event, so you will need to have your ID ready if you plan on heading down.

The event is built around the theme of 'Good Music, Good Vibes & Good People', which seems to be the core identity of the collective as they wrap up their first year. Since the party spans from the afternoon well into the early hours, it offers a flexible window for anyone looking to drop by, whether you want to catch the daytime atmosphere or stay later into the night. It is a straightforward setup: a local venue hosting a long-running party to mark a year of activity in Brighton.
