At Bohemia Brighton
Friday, 22nd December 2023
21:00 – 03:00
Featured

At weekends, Bohemia by night becomes an old-school nightclub playing both old and current hits by our carefully selected experienced in-house DJ’s. Upstairs is The Late Lounge, where there is a different more intimate feel of interior and atmosphere. The music played by the DJ in The Late Lounge is more ambient old school, making it feel as though you’ve stepped inside another venue…through a wardrobe door, no less (approached via The Log Mezzanine.)

Bohemia is open Friday/Saturday nights until 3.00am.

*Please make note that on Friday/ Saturday nights Bohemia is aimed at the over 25s, and our door policy is smart/ casual attire (please no scantily-dressed attire, scruffy clothing, trainers, hoodies or such).

DRAG BUS
Drag brunches are so yesterday….meet the latest and greatest drag sensation…THE DRAG BUS!

If you’re looking for an experience like no other then join us for this 8 hour drag extravaganza. You’ll be picked up at 11am and finish at 7pm. So it’s fair to say this is more than just a drag brunch.

The day includes breakfast, a bottomless prosecco hour, a three-course brunch, a sightseeing drag tour, two further drag shows and some complimentary shots. Can you believe all of this for only £99?

Tour Brighton in style on the Regency Routemaster and experience an alternative LGBTQ history of the city as told by Cherry Bomb, Brighton’s answer to a young gorgeous Marilyn Monroe.

There’s stops along the way at The Curzon Bar and Affinity Bar for fabulous drag experiences. Did we mention this is more than just a simple drag brunch?

Drag Bus is operated by The LGBTQ+ Shop however, this tour is for more than just the LGBTQ community, we welcome hen parties, stag parties and hag parties (if you know you know). In fact, Drag Bus has been getting bookings for 40th birthdays, 50th birthdays, 60th birthdays and beyond.

Come and experience one of the most unique, funny and fabulous days out in Brighton. Be part of the Drag Bus family and take drag brunch to the next level!
