Wrestling: Big Bang at the Brighthelm

Brightside Wrestling and Quality Wrestling are joining forces at the Brighthelm on Saturday 5 December, bringing a real ring back to the hall. The main event pits 'The Black Swan' Cara Noir against hometown hero Jordon Breaks, a match the organisers are calling the biggest in-ring showdown Brighton has seen since 2020. The night is strictly 18+.

There's a bit of history to the venue, too. The Brighthelm is the former home of RIPTIDE, and it's often described as Brighton's most storied wrestling venue, so bringing a ring back into the space feels like a proper return. The show is aimed at fans of WWE, AEW and RIPTIDE, and it's presented by Tom West, RIPTIDE's creative producer, and Rishi Ghosh, known as 'The Prince of Mumbai'. The two have worked together before: their previous BRIGHTSIDE No-Ring Fundraiser shows both sold out in under 48 hours, so if you're planning to go, it's worth getting your tickets sorted early rather than leaving it to the night.

It runs from 19:00 to 22:00 at the Brighthelm Centre on North Road, BN1 1YD. Standard tickets are £20, with any remaining tickets going for £25 on the door.
