Party Venue in Brighton & Hove: Five Parties Perfect for The Old Market

 

If you’re searching for the perfect party venue in Brighton and Hove, then you’ve come to the right place. Looking for a space that combines atmosphere, flexibility and proper event facilities? We’ve got it all here at The Old Market.

The Old Market is Hove’s most versatile and characterful party venue and event space, working beautifully for a wide range of celebrations. Which is why we wanted to highlight a few that we specialise in!

As we regularly host a wide variety of shows, immersive experiences and -of course – parties, we’ve got everything on hand to suit your needs. Space for a live band? Check. Drinks Bar? Check!

Here are five types of parties that work especially well at our unique party venue. If you’re planning one of these, get in touch - we’d love to host you for your special occasion!

1. Milestone Birthday Parties

A big birthday deserves more than just a pub back room. Whether it’s a 30th, 40th or 50th, our space transforms easily from seated drinks to full dance floor celebration.

Take advantage of:

  • A professional stage for DJs or live bands

  • High-quality sound and lighting

  • Flexible layouts to suit different guest numbers

  • Space for dancing

  • A fully licensed bar

2. Engagement Parties and Wedding Celebrations

Brighton is known for doing things differently and The Old Market reflects that perfectly!

We find that couples love TOM because it’s creative rather than traditional. We’re very open with styling our space to your specifications and even have dedicated members of our team to help you set up the perfect event.

There’s also easy transport links when you’ve had one too many!

We’ve got a whole blog dedicated to why we specifically make a great wedding venue, so check it out here if you’re interested!

3. Corporate Parties and Company Celebrations

Businesses searching for a professional yet atmospheric party venue in Brighton often overlook arts venues. But you shouldn’t! Even if you don’t want a party party venue, TOM is ideal for networking events, product launches, award evenings and end of year celebrations.

Our built-in lighting and AV system make presentations smooth, while the open-plan layout allows a natural transition from speeches to mingling and networking.

4. Christmas Parties

When December arrives, The Old Market is great for all the reasons listed above but we also:

  • Use lighting to create a warm & festive atmosphere

  • Suit both private groups and corporate bookings

Add live entertainment or a DJ and you’ve created something far more memorable than a standard sit-down dinner. We are pretty busy around the Christmas period though! So, make sure you book up early if you want to use our venue for your Christmas Party.

5. Live Music and Performance-Led Parties

If your idea of the perfect party venue includes space for a live band, flexible arrangements for a comedy night or even a private showcase event, this is where TOM truly excels.

The Old Market combines:

  • Character and heritage

  • Professional event infrastructure

  • Great Location
