What a weekend there is on offer in Brighton - endless festival events and all free, AND we're involved, so come and say Hi!

124 children from Years 5 & 6 will be performing with a mass youth choir, who'll be displaying the world premiere of rugby-inspired body percussion and songs (arranged by the brilliant James Redwood, alongside the talented B&H Youth Big Band.

We're performing at 3pm and again at 5pm tomorrow (Sunday) on the main stage on New Road.

These performances will form part of the Pitch Perfect festival of music and dance - live music and dance all day Saturday and Sunday 12-6 on New Road, in the heart of the theatre district.

It'll be heating up at the Brighton Chilli Festival in Victoria Gardens today (Saturday). Chilli-eating contest, live bands, spicy foods, cocktails and craft beers.

The Brighton Japan Festival teams up with The Costume Games this weekend - head to the Old Steine Gardens and MOSHIMO to witness incredible live manga artists (incl. Lady Aiko) and bespoke costumes and outfits.

The People's Festival on Hove Lawns will provide performances, music, food and art.

There'll be a Rugby World Cup Fan Zone, east of the pier, on the Beach with live outdoor screenings of the matches. There'll also be refreshments and activities from World Cup sponsors. Free entry and open 11am - 11pm.
