Council is closing part of Bay Street Brighton-Le-Sands this February 2023.

We are taking it to the streets and closing part of the road and pedestrianizing the space, we want to liven the space for locals, and visitors, and bring some colour and fun to Bay Street. Local cafes and businesses will be expanding their footway trading space to create a bustling space for people to gather and relax over the summers,

As part of livening the space we are looking for buskers of all types, so if you have a skill or talent you need to show the world, come on down to Bay Street this February.
