WHITE NIGHT
Enjoy the city in unique style at White Night, Brighton and Hove’s all night cultural festival which takes place every year on the last Saturday in October when the clocks go back. Every event has been created specially for the festival, for one night only so mark the end of British Summer time and make the most of the extra hour of darkness. There are events at almost all of the city’s venues including the Basement, Komedia, Brighton Dome and Royal Pavilion, plus many outdoor events including surreal outdoor film in Church Street, ping pong in New Road, travelling street piano and Jazz at the Birdcage Bandstand. This year's theme is illumination, and the performances, events and installations (see right) will be bringing this theme to life all evening from 6pm to 7am. Many of the events are centred around the Jubilee Street/Church Road/New Road/Pavilion Gardens area but there are also fantastic events and performances all around the city at settings as diverse as the West Pier, the Sealife Centre, Redroaster Coffee House, St Nicholas Churchyard and the Open Market. The Pavilion Theatre gets a Gallic makeover featuring some of the best bands and DJs from White Night’s sister festival, Nuit Blanche Amiens, till midnight with continental-style café tables outside. 30 October, 6pm–7am, www.whitenightnuitblanche.com

WHITE NIGHT INSTALLATIONS White Night has quickly established itself as a major arts event. This year, as well as a number of art galleries opening the doors to the public during the course of evening (including Fabrica, Brighton Media Centre Gallery, Phoenix and Brighton Museum & Art Gallery – where a group of young people are taking over the museum for the night, using projections, animation and photography, to show the museums collection in an entirely new light) four new public artworks have been chosen based on the theme of illumination. One of the commissions has been put together by an all-Brighton consortium of contemporary urban art organizations (Wet Paint Productions, Art Republic and Ink_d) who will be creating an interactive installation in Jubilee Square, illuminating street art in paint and pixels. Elsewhere, Claire Potter design is creating an at-sea art work inspired by the starlings and drawing attention to the birds’ threatened roosting site; Mini Murmuration will be a shimmering cloud of red lights generated by wind near the West Pier throughout the night. In a third commission, a group called Luminance will create and install an Epiphany Dome in the North Laine. A lavishly-lit geodesic dome will host interviews with passers-by about personal epiphanies. These will be projected during the night as the evening progresses. White Night marks the end of British Summer Time and aims to present the arts as a ‘reclaim of the streets’ and an alternative to drinking culture in the city centre. This will be the third year of the unique festival that last year attracted 25,000 people to the city centre. White Night, Saturday 30 October. www.whitenightnuitblanche.com
