Not A Valentine's Party

If you’re already tired of the pink and red overload that hits every February, there’s a specific event happening in Brighton designed just for those who prefer nostalgia over romance. It’s called the Not A Valentine's Party, and it’s being pitched as the definitive anti-Valentine’s bash for singles in the city. The whole concept is built around the idea of 'getting back to old school'—ditching the dating apps and meeting people the old-fashioned way, face-to-face, on the dance floor. This event is specifically targeting singles looking for an excuse to celebrate their freedom and dance without anyone judging them.

This throwback night is scheduled for Saturday, February 14, 2026, starting at 7:30 PM (19:30). The setting is the American Express Stadium, located at Village Way, BN1 9BL. While the stadium is usually associated with football, for one night it’s transforming into a massive school disco. The music promises to be pure gold: classic school disco tunes strictly from the 70s and 80s. To really lean into the theme, they are encouraging everyone to wear their old school uniform, though it’s definitely not mandatory.

The commitment to the theme goes beyond the music and the dress code. If the idea of dancing to classic hits wasn't enough to trigger those memories, they will also be serving up actual 'school dinners' throughout the evening. The organizers have set a clear, fun tone for the night, summarized by a playful warning: "Just don't let Miss catch you kissing!!!" Since this is a major event at the stadium, it is a ticketed affair, so you’ll need to check availability online if you plan on going. If you need more specific details about the venue or the event itself, you can call 01273 878288. It sounds like a high-energy, nostalgic alternative to the usual Valentine's pressure, giving Brighton singles a perfect excuse to celebrate.
