Brighton Pride

at the Oculist

Pride takes over the city. We take it into the night. Oculist is proud to be bringing DJs, cocktails, rooftop energy and dancefloor heat to Pride weekend.

From pre-parade drinks to late-night sets, our Pride events are built around queer nightlife, electronic music and the kind of Brighton energy that does not clock off early.

Brighton Pride

2026, at Oculist

DATE: Saturday 1 August and Sunday 2 August 2026
LOCATION: Oculist, 2 Boyce’s Street, Brighton, BN1 1AN
VIBES: House, disco, UK garage, techno and queer club sounds
SPACES: Dancefloor, bar and two-tier roof terrace

Brighton Pride is one of the UK’s biggest LGBTQ+ celebrations, bringing the city together for protest, visibility, music, community and queer joy.

At the Oculist, we carry that energy from day into night. Expect DJs, guest selectors, cocktails, house pours and a two-tier roof terrace in the heart of Brighton. Whether you are heading out after the parade, meeting friends before Pride on the Park or looking for a central Pride venue with music at its core, you will find us on Boyce’s Street.

Our Pride weekend events are built for movement: sound-led nights, rooftop moments, familiar hooks, underground heat and an inclusive dancefloor that keeps Brighton moving.
