Rainy Day Picks This Weekend

When the forecast has gone properly sideways, this page looks for nearby plans that are more roof-and-radiator than field-and-regret. It is our best rainy-day guess, so still check the organiser's details before you set off.

11–12 July Near Nep Town

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.

Happening Saturday 11 July to Sunday 12 July.

Picked for Nep Town, not somewhere halfway across the county.

Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.

Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

Spencer Jones: Dogs WIP

at Komedia Brighton

Spencer Jones (me) is making a new live comedy show and this is a work in progress of that show. It’s called dogs because there’s dogs in it and it’s about dogs. But please don’t be put off if you don’t like dogs, it’ll still be funny. In fact, there’s a good chance that by the time I come to Brighton, it’ll only be 30% dogs. There will be weird characters, strange props, fur, and I would imagine some daft music. Lots of bits and pieces for us to work out if they’re funny or not (they will be) x
