Who doesn’t love having exciting things to do? Anyone? Hand’s up if you’ve been bored for almost two years? I can’t see your hands from here, but there’s probably quite a few. Considering there hasn’t been too much access to thrilling endeavours for quite some time, this year has been a combination of deciding which hazmat suit you’ll wear to see a friend from twenty yards, or yelling at a TV screen, “yes Netflix, I’m obviously still effing here, I’m quarantined!” Fortunately, now there are things you can get up to. Hooray! And to make things a little easier for those looking for a touch of adventure, BN1 has checked out what there is to get your endorphins flowing more than just that one walk a day, or whatever naughtiness…

The UK summer is truly here and like every one this country offers up it delivers baking heat, punctuated by colossal winds and torrential downpours. Sometimes, it’s genuinely hard to decide whether you need to venture out with a parasol or a parka. However, there are always those days when the sun is very much shining and it’s time to turn off the fan and escape the confines of the house. Here at BN1, we’ve put together a selection of the best sun traps Brighton and Hove has to offer. Some of the these are the ideal places to laze after a heavy night, while others are the perfect places to begin one. THE GLADSTONE A favourite of both locals and students, this pub has a newly designed beer garden…

If you think that by switching to a vegan diet means that you’ll be deprived of flavour-rich foods, then think again because there are a number of substitutes that you can use in order to make tasty alternatives. NUTRITIONAL YEAST This is a deactivated form of yeast that is a Godsend for people who find it difficult to give up cheese, because it really does taste like cheese. In fact, you can use it to make “cheese” sauces, macaroni “cheese” and even vegan “Parmesan.” BLACK SALT Like Himalayan pink salt, black salt is mined from the Himalayas and because of its high sulphur content it tastes likes eggs. You can make a vegan version of ‘scrambled eggs’ by mashing avocados with a little of the black salt. COCONUT OIL Coconut…

Why was Action in Rural Sussex founded? AirS was founded to reduce the incidence and impact of disadvantage and poverty on people living in rural areas, to increase the capacity of rural communities, to manage change for the benefit of all their members and to inform and amplify the voice of rural communities to influence public policy. AirS is an independent charity that exists for all people living in rural areas of Sussex but especially those who are at risk of isolation and/or disadvantage, and for whom rural life brings an additional challenge and cost to their daily lives. Established in 1931, we are staffed by an experienced and dedicated team who are committed to helping people overcome the challenges caused by their rural location. Our vision is for a…

Tell me about Slack City’s origins… Ideas for Slack City started bubbling around Christmas 2019 after reflecting on 20 years since the launch of totallyradio, the UK’s longest serving internet radio station, and 30 years since its precursor, Brighton’s legendary Festival Radio, which reinvented radio in the city. In that time the station had some incredible highs, but we felt, even though it has some brilliant radio shows, it no longer fitted in with Brighton’s unique creative outlook. That unique creative outlook is not found anywhere else in the UK and, understandably, us Brighton residents are incredibly passionate and proud of it – it has become such a draw for so many creatives moving to Brighton. In those initial meetings, we brought together people from all over Brighton’s creative scene…

“People are learning new ways to listen,” Squid’s Louis Borlase tells me. “With a band like us, I think there’s an assumption it has to be a case of people crammed in and a lot of physical movement. People are discovering that you can enjoy something sat down.” No strangers to exploring and adapting in their music, this near-indefinable five-piece aren’t having too many issues with the reality of socially-distanced live performances. Today they’re enjoying some time in Brighton, a city they called home for several years, following last night’s Covid-safe show at Bexhill’s De La Warr Pavilion. Their current UK tour, Fieldworks, is offering a new kind of live experience. It’s been a chance for fans to see these five multi-instrumentalists’ creative process as they form fresh ideas live…

DANCE LIKE EVERYBODY’S WATCHING! South East Dance’s annual free dance festival, Our City Dances, takes place online and outdoors this month [19-24 July].

What is Our City Dances? Our City Dances is a dance festival, a celebration of dance and movement. It’s free, and it’s designed to give everyone a chance to watch, have a go at, or rekindle an old passion for dance.

The first ‘modern’ Olympic Games was held in Athens during 1896. In the 1896 Olympic Games, there were just 14 events. Created by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1912, the interlinked Olympic rings represent each of the Earth’s five inhabited continents. Every national flag contains a least one of the colours used for the rings. Figure skating was originally introduced into the Olympics as part of the summer games. In Stockholm 1912, competitive art was introduced, with categories for literature, sculpture, painting, architecture and music. America refuses to follow tradition and dip its flag during the Olympic Opening Ceremony. Britain is the only country to have won at least one gold medal in every single summer Olympic Games. London has hosted the most Summer Olympic Games, welcoming the flame in…

Their large-scale summer gatherings have been a fixture of the nation’s calendar for decades, and the only thing to successfully halt these city-wide celebrations was a global pandemic. But the vital work Brighton Pride does amongst the community still needs to continue. Once again unable to bring people together in huge numbers, the fundraising organisation has announced ‘Pride At The Ironworks’ - an extensive season of smaller cultural events platforming LGBTQ+ artists and the wider community. Backed by Tesco, these will continue fundraising for local charities and groups which perform essential work all year round. “The need for community has never been stronger,” said Brighton Pride’s director, Paul Kemp. “As one of Europe’s biggest Pride Festivals we are delighted that some of our regular partners, and some new ones, are…

Many folk musicians from around the UK, have moved their talents online to keep their community alive. They have refused to let Covid get in the way of their livelihoods. From speaking to musicians, we learn that the vast folk community lost a huge part of itself when the festivals and concerts were cancelled due to Coronavirus. Online gigs aren’t something new, however, the influx of folk musicians hosting or taking part in them is. There has been such a high number that it raises a question. Will these online concerts remain part of the industry or will they fade away once festivals and live gigs are allowed once more? Toby Shaer is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer from Essex. Before Covid he toured not only the UK but worldwide.…

I first began to experience the impact that dietary choice can have on one’s health way back in my youth. I’d been diagnosed with a form of arthritis at just 9 years of age after persistent swelling in my left knee began to restrict my mobility. Like most kids of that age, I was constantly on the move and aside from playing football and cricket, which I loved, I was like an early version of Forrest Gump because I would run everywhere. I remember my father taking me to see a consultant who decided that my leg should be entombed in a plaster cast for 6 weeks. Sure enough, after the cast was removed, there was no sign of swelling and I was able to resume with my previous active…

A core part of Brighton & Hove’s cultural identity, Fabrica is celebrating a quarter century of stunning site-specific contemporary art installations. Based in a former Regency church, this visual arts organisation has brought in some of the world’s most celebrated artists to its city-centre gallery, including David Shirley, Assocreation, Walter & Zoniel and Anish Kapoor, to create events which are accessible, friendly and fiercely innovative. From the spectacle to the tactile, fun and warmth are ever-present in Fabrica’s shows which was perfectly summed up in Swedish artist Jacob Dahlgren’s vibrant On Balance in 2014. A co-commission with Brighton Festival, it brought together two of his works and challenged the concept of art just being something to stare at approvingly. Heaven is a Place on Earth gathered 713 polished bathroom scales…

A Brighton-based film company has caught a big pharmaceutical CEO admitting that he doesn’t want countries who can’t afford the COVID vaccine to be able to make their own, because there’s no profit in it. The chief executive officer was recorded before he was aware that the camera was rolling saying “where’s the money in that?” in reply to a question asking if it would be better to vaccinate the world and get rid of the disease altogether? This shockingly blunt admission was part of a two-minute clip that appropriately went viral in June as part of a scripted campaign for vaccine equality starring Bafta winning comedian Jolyon Rubinstein. The end card reveals that it is a parody to bring awareness to this issue. Commissioned by the People’s Vaccine Alliance…
