Record Fair: Your Vinyl Collecting Adventure Awaits

If you’re looking to spend a Sunday morning digging through crates, the Record Fair: Your Vinyl Collecting Adventure Awaits at Komedia Brighton is a regular fixture worth noting. It’s held right in the heart of the city at 44-47 Gardner Street (BN1 1UN). The main draw is the chance to browse thousands of vinyl bargains and collector’s items. The event is aimed squarely at music lovers and serious collectors alike, offering a dedicated space to find the music you already love or discover new sounds entirely. The best part is that entry is completely free.

This isn't just a few people selling off their old collections; the fair brings together specialist sellers, independent record shops, vendors, and labels. You can expect to find everything from rare collector’s items to general stock, making it a good spot whether you’re hunting for a specific pressing or just hoping to expand your library. The focus is definitely on the records, but in the past, these events have also featured DJs and even a live transmission with Slack City Radio, adding a bit more atmosphere while you search through the stacks.

If you missed the earlier dates this year (February 1st, April 5th, and June 7th), the fair runs throughout 2026, always on a Sunday, so you have several opportunities left to visit. The upcoming schedule includes August 2nd, the main date of October 4th, and the final event on December 6th. For any of these Sundays, the doors open promptly at 10:00 AM. The event generally runs until 4:00 PM, giving you a solid six hours to explore the offerings at Komedia. It’s a straightforward setup: show up, dig through the records, and hopefully walk away with something great for your collection.
