The home of horror

With shows and events that celebrate all things terrifying and chilling, we’re proud to present some of the finest scares from across the UK over 13 days of productions.

What's On

Ten years of scares

Now celebrating our tenth anniversary of bringing highly acclaimed shows to the heart of Brighton, we're proud to bring the joy (and screams) to horror-loving audiences.

Our programme is packed with shows from all around the country over 13 days. From theatre and cabaret to comedy and games, you'll find something to your blood-curdling tastes.

Whether you're looking for a show suitable for all ages, or a show that brings the terror to an adult-only audience, you'll find it at Brighton HorrorFest.

Where to find us

Brighton HorrorFest takes place at the legendary Yellow Book Bar in Brighton. For 13 days in October, its sunny exterior hides a programme of dark and twisted performances. Enter if you dare...
