August is a busy month for Brightonians with Brighton Pride coming in hot at the beginning of the month, a long weekend of revelry to bring it to a close, and plenty in between to keep the beach bums entertained once the sun goes in. We're fully aware that many of you will just want to lie inside with easy access to cold showers and hand fans, but that would be a huge waste of the rare British Summertime, so we've rounded up some of the best events and night outs in town to help you navigate this month for your party pleasure - you can thank us later.
