It’s getting hot in here, but don’t worry – we’re (mostly) keeping our clothes on. Whether you’re a sun worshipper or an air-con-seeking missile, this weekend’s guide has you covered: think new cafes worth shouting about, summer solstice parties and gloriously unhinged cabaret. Brighton Book Festival returns for its fourth year with another inspiring line-up of live events.

Laughter is the kind of natural high we like here at BOTI HQ. The side-splitting-I can’t actually breathe-my abs are going to hurt tomorrow kind of stuff. If you’re partial to a chuckle or two (who isn’t?) then roll up, roll up, because the Brighton Comedy Garden is coming back to the city in July and you’re guaranteed to get face ache. And if you too are suffering from the usual post-Fringe comedy come-down, we’d recommend getting yourselves tickets to July’s line-up sharpish.

It may be Friday the 13th, but the sun is (currently) shining, so it feels like it’s going to be a good day. Just in case, though, we’ve saluted magpies and walked around ladders. Come on in for lashings of the good stuff, from perfect pop-ups to top tunes. Yes, it’s Father’s Day on Sunday (cue last-minute card/present panic) and plenty of Brighton restaurants have got some tasty deals for the dads in your life.

Ah, May. Fringe and Festival action, The Great Escape, Artists Open Houses AND two bank holiday weekends? They don’t call it the best month in the Brighton calendar for nothing. Although if we were going to quibble (we are), we’d love it a bit more spread out throughout the year so that we could get to experience, you know, more of it. Who’s for a BOTI Beat-the-January-Blues festival? Anyway.

Brace yourselves, beach lovers – Hove’s got a shiny new all-day hangout that’s going to seriously up your shoreline game. Think morning flat whites with a side of sea breeze, to banging BBQs and beers washed down with mellow beats and killer views. Meet Babble – the day-to-evening project at Hove Beach Park from the Bison Beer boys, Jack and Nick, and Sam of Slam Tacos.
