A screening of 'The Sound of Silent Cinema' as part of the Heritage Open Day 2026 at the Concert Hall in Brighton.
The Sound of Silent Cinema is coming to the Concert Hall on Sunday 20 September, as part of Heritage Open Day 2026. It's a screening of a silent film with a live score, so the music isn't just background — it's half the show. The whole thing is tied into Heritage Open Day, the national celebration of local history and culture, which means it's one of many events happening across the city that day.
If you've never seen a silent film with live accompaniment, the format is pretty straightforward: the film runs on screen, and the music is performed live in the room, timed to the action. It changes the whole experience from watching a movie at home to something more like a concert. The Concert Hall is a proper venue for it, too, with the music filling the space rather than coming through a speaker.

It's a Sunday afternoon slot, so it works as a standalone trip or something to fit in around other Heritage Open Day events. The screening starts at 15:30, and tickets are £7.00, which is a guide price and subject to change. The Concert Hall is on Church Street, BN1 1UD, right in the centre of town.
