From the 18th century seaside hedonism that inspired the Prince Regent to build the Pavilion, to today’s cosmopolitan hub loved by rock royalty, palacefuls of kings and queens and takers of afternoon tea, Brighton and Hove has always been a Fringe city.
04 . Tickets, travel and
It’s from the city’s free-thinking attitude and incredible pool of talent and creativity that the Fringe has grown. From venues to partners to performers, hundreds of Brightonians have contributed to the character and progress of our Fringe. The relationships we’ve developed over the years, including Southern Water supporting Fringe City and Legal & General providing bursaries for local acts, mean we can help that creative talent to thrive. In the five years since we became an independent company we have grown into the world’s third largest Fringe Festival. The quality and variety of events has risen year on year, and we’re very proud to present such a creatively exciting and challenging programme for 2011. This year we have some amazing new sponsors on board – from headline sponsor Citroën to our fabulous literature sponsor Hendrick’s Gin, to local charity The Pebble Trust. This range of support from both the local and worldwide business community demonstrates how far the Fringe has come – but we haven’t forgotten where we started. The spirit of Brighton Fringe – independent, innovative, anarchic – is unique to Brighton and Hove but it’s something that attracts audiences and artists from all over the world. We’re proud to be part of such a community, and we want to thank everyone who has ever seen or put on a Fringe show for helping to make it one of the world’s best festivals. As our patron Richard Jordan says: “The Fringe remains one of the last great open training grounds where new artists have the opportunity to work side by side with more established professionals and, most importantly, to learn and develop their craft from the experience. And the vital part in keeping this all alive is you, yes you reading the programme and picking out shows to see. You provide the fuel that makes everything else possible.”

SEX Ship Street Gardens is the must-visit destination in Brighton. You’ve probably passed the pretty alley on the way to the beach or used it as a cut through between Ship Street and Middle Street. But you may not realise that this twitten (from the Sussex phrase ‘betwixt and between’) is steeped in a fascinating history. In the early 17th century smugglers dug tunnels from Ship Street Gardens to the seafront, which Charles II used when he fled in exile to France. Later it was declared sacred ground, marked by the planting of the alley’s now 200-year-old fig tree, when the Borgians founded a chapel. Today, Ship Street Gardens has taken on the reputation of Soho by the sea. Home to cult boutique She Said, renowned for its corset fitting service, discreet designer toys and luxury lingerie, the erotic emporium now spans three fabulous shops, including the newly opened bridal boutique, and burlesque and fetish clothing boutique.
AND THE
CITY
She Said, Brighton’s favorite erotic boutique, is hosting a series of events and workshops on a wide range of exciting topics including Japanese Rope Bondage, erotic literature, Tantra, life drawing & much more. Book your tickets early as places are limited. During the festival She Said are also sponsoring The Naughty Walking Tour of Brighton which, starting from Ship Street Gardens, will take in the sensual side of the city. Expect fascinating facts spanning history from the outrageous days of the Prince Regent and his orgies at the Palace, to the roaring 30’s which saw the gay and lesbian scene flourish, up to the present day with Brighton still proudly putting the ‘sex’ into Sussex! Find Ship Street Gardens (between Ship St & Middle St) on the map page 83-84 Grid Ref I9
Neighbouring Impure Art, the UK’s only erotic art gallery, features sensual sculpture, debauched drawings & illicit installations. On the opposite side of the lane award-winning artist Jamie McCartney offers both innocent and intimate casting services at his Brighton Body Casting workshop. And this festival, Ship Street Gardens is about to get more notorious… Jamie McCartney’s monumental wall sculpture ‘The Great Wall of Vagina’ sees its world premier in May. Over five years in the making and consisting of the casts of 400 women’s vaginas, this 9 metre long sculpture can be seen for the first time in the artist’s Brighton Body Casting Studios. Expect to be amazed, educated & fascinated by this astounding piece of art.
“Female genitalia have long been a source of fascination, recently of celebration but generally of confusion. Right here, right now in Ship Street Gardens we’re going to change that for ever. For 400 women their privates are about to go public...” Impure Art, famous for hosting the sensational Madonna nudes, is showcasing the work of local Pin-up artist Jerry Rulf. Inspired by 50’s glamour artist Gil Elvran, Jerry paints Brighton girls in his synonymous saucy vintage style. He now has a stunning collection which will be on display and for sale at Impure Art and She Said throughout May and June.
THE GREAT WALL OF VAGINA & BRIGHTON BODY CASTING Open every day throughout May. 11am – 6pm www.brightonbodycasting.com IMPURE ART Gallery and café/ bar will be open every day throughout May. 11am – 6pm www.impureart.com SHE SAID BOUTIQUE Shops open seven days.

The Pebble Trust is a newly established, Brighton based charity dedicated to providing support for local people and causes. In 2010, the Pebble Trust donated to several local charities and has successfully launched the Pebble Trust Talent Grants, providing awards for local children to allow them to develop exceptional talents.
So far financial assistance has been awarded to 21 talented local children. This year, we are looking to expand the number of awards given whilst continuing to donate to other local causes. Varndean School has been one of the Pebble Trust’s strongest supporters with three students being awarded talent grants worth £500 each. All three are interested in pursuing acting careers and have put their grants towards extra drama lessons and travel costs.
Solomon, 14, is an extremely talented local dancer who last year secured one of only two out-of-catchment places at the BRIT School of performing arts. Thanks to the support of the Pebble Trust we are now able to focus solely on supporting Solomon’s studies without the pressure of having to find weekly train fares to London. Margaret Solomon’s Mum
The Pebble Trust has helped to turn dreams into reality for Varndean’s most gifted students. Andrew Stephenson Varndean School
Do you have what it takes to be a Talent Grant winner?
Hannah, 14, from Hove Park School, is a highly accomplished musician who recently gained a place in the National Children’s Wind Orchestra. She put her grant towards a professional standard saxophone. The Pebble Trust has brought me one step closer to achieving my dream of being a professional musician. I am truly grateful.
Applications for a Talent Grant can only be made via schools and with the support of a teacher. For more information please contact louise@pebbletrust.org
