Community

Creating a safe and intimate space where our artists have the room to meet, network and even collaborate with one another.

Experience

BBM is like no other market, our artists are specialised; understanding and mastering their craft in a way that they talk through each process from idea to fruition with absolute passion. Alongside our open mic and big headline acts, you will leave with your hands, head and heart full.

Creativity

One of Black Brighton Markets biggest passion and drive is creativity and allowing the space for our artists to hone their craft, spread their wings and turn their side-hustle into their main income.

Sign up to perform at the next Open Mic.

COMING SOON

“I felt very lucky to launch my handmade products at the Black Brighton Market – it had a strengthening community feel and all the items in the market were great quality with passionate stallholders. It meant a great deal to have the opportunity to participate and be supported in my business. Such an important thing for visibility of Black and Brown people in Brighton, as well as for enterprise. Jade is extremely worthy of any support to continue and expand her great work.“

“It was a beautiful event and amazing to be in a place where Black people in Brighton are able to network, connect and create an economic hub which is something that so many Black communities are missing especially in Brighton where we don’t have a geographically located community. This is what the revolution looks like.”

“I’ve loved being part of the Black Brighton Market and joining a family of fellow BIPOC creatives and makers in the city. Jade has started an important endeavour to carve out space for the ever growing and vibrant BIPOC community in Brighton and beyond, creating a wonderful opportunity to showcase our heritage and culture to all. As a stallholder, I’ve loved being able to share my business Epifhani with other textiles makers and learn from them, and be inspired to create more. Jade and her team have been fantastic organisers, as their transparency, enthusiasm and dedication to the project has helped push it forward, creating a strong community who want to see its success into the next few years!”
