Brighton Festival

Every year for the month of May, the City of Brighton holds an Arts Festival. Amongst the many local performances of theatre, opera, dance, poetry, classical music, world music, jazz, workshops, audiences with key literary figures, street theatre, and fringe events, hundreds of artists open their houses to the public. The Buddhist Centre always participates in the Festival, holding exhibitions and presenting performances.
