Brighton Rocks 9th Annual Festival will take place 15 - 21 June 2026 in three iconic city venues.

DALTONS BRIGHTON is a multipurpose arts venue quite literally on Brighton Beach, just a stone’s throw from Brighton’s Palace Pier and famed LGBTQIA+ hub Kemp Town. The venue has a fully equipped bar and breakout area, making it the perfect forum for indie filmmakers to share experiences and get their creative juices flowing. DUKE'S AT KOMEDIA is the younger sister to Brighton's iconic Duke of York's is a two-screen cinema with bar and kitchen in the heart of the city's swinging North Laine district. We are delighted to be returning to the cinema for the 2nd year running.
THE ACTORS is above the beautiful LGBTQ+ and BIPOC community friendly pub 'The Actors', in Kemptown (formerly known as The Marlborough). The Actors takes its inspiration from the theatre pubs that have, since the Victorian era, been a feature of the city’s rich relationship with the performing arts.
