iTopia - Immersive Cabaret Experience

On Saturday, 7th March, the Brighton i360 is set to host iTopia - Immersive Cabaret Experience, an evening that moves away from the standard observation flights to create something more interactive. Between 18:30 and 21:30, the tower and its surroundings at Lower Kings Road will be repurposed into a stage where the boundary between the performers and the guests is blurred. The concept places the audience directly within the performance space, featuring a cast of ten local artists who are already well-known within the Brighton scene. Because of the nature of the show, it is restricted to those aged 18 and over, making it a dedicated night for adults.

The experience is designed to be quite comprehensive, starting with a welcome drink or cocktail as you get settled. This is followed by a three-course dinner with a menu that includes choices such as crispy duck, truffled chicken, and a vegan wellington. The entertainment isn't just a background feature; the artists, musicians, and actors perform throughout the evening, including during a flight aboard the i360 pod itself. This allows for a change of scenery mid-way through the event, combining the cabaret acts with the elevated views of the Brighton coastline while the performance continues in the air.

For those looking at the logistics, the tickets are priced from £75.00 to £79.50. This total covers the full meal, the pod flight, and the live entertainment. It is also worth mentioning that the price includes a £2 donation to the Horizon Fund, which goes towards supporting various local charities. The event wraps up by 21:30, which is quite convenient if you have other plans for the rest of your Saturday night or if you just prefer an evening that doesn't run into the early hours. It’s a straightforward way to see ten different local performers in a single setting while making use of one of the city's most recognisable landmarks.
