Heritage activities
We aim to bring an appreciation of Georgian and Regency history and culture to the widest possible audience. To help us achieve this goal we stage regular seminars on subjects such as Regency fashion, medicine and monarchy and exhibitions looking at issues such as social order during the Regency and the building technology of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Below are links to reviews of some of our past events or the work that has developed as a consequence of event related collaborations. For a listing of current events see our What's On section.

The Colourful Face of Brighton
This exhibition, staged at the Town House in 2003, provided an insight into Brighton's black history during the 18 & 19th Centuries. It was presented in collaboration with 'Brighton & Hove Black History' group, which explores aspects of Brighton's lesser known, ethnically diverse history.

Open Door
Under the 'Open Door' title we regularly coordinate the opening of historic buildings around Brighton & Hove, as a part of the European Heritage Days initiative. These events provide the public with the opportunity to gain a closer look at some of the city's hidden architectural treasures. We have staged Open Door in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004. We will be organizing such an event again during 2007.

Heritage Open Weekend
Also staged as part of the European Heritage Days initiative, our Heritage Open Weekend events preceded our Open Door initiatives and were held to provide an insight into the traditional techniques and materials used to build the homes of Regency Brighton.
