Enjoy These Candlelight Concerts Coming To Brighton

Ah, a trip to Brighton’s seaside. It’s a tale of two halves really: on one hand, a buzzing day out, filled with fun, family/friends, and of course, fish and chips. However, in the early morning and late evening, it can be a lot more serene: the soothing sounds of crashing waves; the quietly, unforgettable scenes of sunrise or sunset – bliss. Embodying this tranquil mood of the sea, we bring news of several magical Candlelight concerts taking place in sunny Brighton.

Just a pebble’s throw from the seafront, and a 5-minute stroll from Brighton Pier and the quaint Lanes, The Royal Pavilion will host candlelit evenings of music. A string quartet will be taking on hits from iconic bands such as ABBA and Queen as well as the works from esteemed composers like Hans Zimmer at these fabulous Candlelight concerts that are ready to wow audiences in one of Brighton’s most magnificent venues.

Candlelight invites you to enjoy a spellbinding concert in this fantasy palace fit for a king. Built in an Indo-Saracenic style, The Royal Pavilion is a beautiful Grade I listed building located just off Brighton beach. The venue’s ornate decor takes inspiration from French neoclassical interiors and visitors can admire the magnificent collection of grand chandeliers and priceless artwork on display.

As the flicker of candlelight illuminates the domed roof that shelters the building’s breathtaking music room, you’ll hear spectacular live music performances in a historic setting that has even housed royalty.
