Bookending and .phoni bring a pair of anti-fascist shows to

The night before (12/06) , and bring an incredible night of folk and hip hop and grime. Not to be missed - bars, harps, concertina and fiddles.

Doors 8pm - £9 members, £10 guests.

Then it’s everyone off to a good night’s sleep so we can all be up nice and early to keep our city fascist free on the 13th - everyone gets to Queens Road for 11am.

Then the night after (14/06), we can all come together and celebrate the scum of fascism being shown the door, as , .punk, and join us for a benefit. No one in their right mind would have chosen to put on their first show the night after the biggest event in the cities political calendar in years, but we’ll roll with what we’re given!

Doors 8pm - £9 members, £10 guests

Together, we’re going to stand together and say that fascism has no place in our city, and no place anywhere. Brighton may be many things, but we are always antifascist.

On Sunday 7th June, join us for GWAED AR Y SÊR and O’R DDAER HEN, two of the first ever Welsh-language horror films.

After years of being nearly lost media, they’re now fully restored in 2K by Severin Films, with support from Matchbox Cine, from elements provided courtesy of the Bwrdd Ffilmiau Cymraeg collection at the National Library of Wales Screen and Sound Archive. One of the first times these restorations have been screened, don’t miss it - they’ve never looked so pretty.

Suggested entry donation is £5 for guests and £4 for members. All ticket donations will be funding a Brighton SolFed supported short film, Mere Stone. With the same DIY spirit as the classics we’ll be screening, any support you provide by coming along will be felt.

The bar will open at 19:00 for films starting at 19:30, and the bar will remain open after the screenings. As always, we’re 18+, and members and guests are welcome.

Thanks to for allowing us to screen these films.
