The best way to experience what life is like at Brighton College is to join us at an Open Morning, where you will have the chance to talk to pupils and teachers about what makes our school such a special place.
Throughout the year, we host a calendar of social events for parents, bringing together our school community in relaxed, cultural, and entertaining settings.
As well as an excellent opportunity to meet and get to know other parents, members of the Common Room love attending events as expert guides and to meet socially with parents.
We hope you will join our exciting Society, and enjoy everything that it has to offer.
With a wide network of contacts and the support of the Brighton College Community, we like to ensure that all Brighton College Society events offer a little something extra – whether that is access to private rooms, guest speakers or exclusive access. Here’s a snapshot of some of the events we enjoyed in 2023-24.
Burn's Night
Each year, after being welcomed by a piper, parents tuck into a traditional Burns supper, with a rousing address to the haggis, then dance the night away to a live band at our spirited ceilidh.
A Private Tour of Kew Gardens
With one of the most diverse collections of plants of any botanical garden in the world, we enjoyed a private guided tour in the beautiful setting of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew to learn about its fascinating history.
Comedy Club Night
An evening of fun and laughter at the College, we are joined by some of the most exciting comedians on the circuit. A well-established staple of the Society calendar, our comedy night never fails to delight.
A Private Tour and Wine Tasting at Wiston Estate
Our parents enjoyed a private evening tour and tasting at the award winning Wiston Estate in the heart of West Sussex.
An Italian Exploration at Tutto
An exclusive Brighton College Society five-course tasting menu experience at Tutto, Brighton. Housed in the elegant surroundings of a former banking hall, Tutto is a celebration of Italian dining; where simple, seasonal ingredients and delicious drinks take centre stage.
An exploration of the Underworld of the Royal Pavilion
Hidden beneath the regal glamour of the Royal Pavilion lie a series of interconnected tunnels connecting the Pavilion to the Brighton Dome, George IV’s riding stables at the time. We delved into Brighton’s extraordinary history, with a tour of the tunnels, and explored the Royal Pavilion.
We have an exciting programme of activities across cultural, political, sporting and culinary experiences to look forward to this year.
Glyndebourne Christmas Concert
Fast becoming the hot ticket of the Sussex cultural calendar, we’re delighted to be heading to Glyndebourne for festive Baroque Choral Classics, including Vivaldi’s exuberant Gloria. Brighton College Society Members will enjoy a private drinks reception to help set the mood for a special Christmas season.
Brighton College Society Comedy Night
Working with a top industry producer and comedy booker, we are delighted to be able to secure some of the brightest stars on the comedy circuit each year. This year we can’t wait to host it in our new dedicated space for the first time – The Cairns Theatre.
Learn to Meditate
Join Becca from Cloud Seven Meditation to learn an ancient and powerful technique used for millennia to address the modern conditions we experience now – stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, a feeling of disconnect.
