Polyglamorous: Pride

If you're looking for a reliable queer safe space in Brighton, you've probably heard of Polyglamorous. This club night, which started back in 2018, has become known for filling a gap in the city's late-night scene, offering an inclusive and often riotous atmosphere. For their upcoming event, they are dedicating the night to a special celebration: Polyglamorous: Pride. This is happening on Friday, February 13, 2026, kicking off at 23:00 down at The Arch on Kings Road Arches. While Polyglamorous is a monthly fixture that sometimes moves between venues like Chalk or Concorde 2, this particular Pride edition is firmly set at The Arch.

Polyglamorous is designed to be more than just a dance floor; it’s an immersive utopia of music, art, and fashion. The soundscape is broad, mixing avant-garde pop and dance with RnB, and even throwing in some beloved classics like ABBA and Crystal Waters. For the Pride edition, they are bringing in resident and guest DJs, alongside drag hosts, gogo dancers, and visual artists to keep the energy high, plus they’ll have some selected drink deals running. They’ve also set a specific dress code for the night: 'Pride Colours and Hankies'. This is a fun invitation to incorporate rainbow colors and handkerchiefs, nodding to the historical use of hankies as discreet symbols within the LGBTQ+ community to express preferences.

If you plan on going, standard entry is currently priced around £16.38, and you can book tickets online ahead of time. While the night is all about celebration, it’s important to remember the core ethos of Polyglamorous: maintaining a safe space for everyone. They operate a strict zero-tolerance policy against any form of abuse or harassment, covering everything from homophobia and transphobia to racism, sexism, and biphobia. They ask that allies respect this policy fully. If you or anyone you're with feels unsafe at any point, the organizers stress that you should alert the Polyglamorous staff, security, or the venue personnel immediately. It’s a great night out, and knowing these policies are firmly in place just makes the experience better for the whole community.
