Groove Machine

If you are looking for plans for the upcoming bank holiday weekend, there is a party happening at Horizon Nightclub on the Brighton seafront. The event, called Groove Machine, is scheduled for Saturday, 23 May 2026. It is set up as an all-day affair, with doors opening at 15:00 and the music running until 22:00.

The focus here is squarely on disco and house music. The organisers have mentioned that the playlist will span from classic disco and house anthems to more contemporary tracks. The venue is equipped with a sound system and lighting setup designed for this type of dance event, which is worth noting if you are particular about the technical side of a club night. Given the timing—starting in the afternoon and wrapping up by 10:00 PM—it feels like a straightforward option for those who want to enjoy a bit of dancing without necessarily committing to a late-night clubbing schedule.

Regarding the logistics, the pricing is currently listed as 'TBC' (to be confirmed), so if you are planning to go, you will need to keep an eye on the online ticket platforms for updates on the final costs. It is a fairly standard setup for a Brighton venue, and the location on the seafront makes it easy to access if you are already spending the day in the area. Whether this fits your plans for the weekend depends on your interest in that specific blend of disco and house, but the structure of the event is clear enough to help you decide if it is worth checking out.
