presents
It’s a Christmas Pun-demic!
Your “presents” is requested as it’s starting to look a lot like a ChristMESS. So lets Brighton up Christmess!
This ChristMESS, Brighton’s famous Jubilee Square will be transformed into the ultimate winter wonderland, complete with a Snowglobe-esque Dream Dome and heaters to keep you toasty. This magical festive pop-up is complete with Alpine Ski lift chairs and Gondolas for an Apres worthy of the Alps! Our cosy caravan bar will also be on site selling all your favourite Winter Warmers and our speciality Christmas Cocktails – Salted Caramel White Russian anybody?
We are all in need of some festive cheer this year. So the team at Midsummer Nightcap are here to get all our elves off furlough and back to work in saving Christmas this year! We have a wonderful array of festive food, shows and will have lots of stalls and goodies from local independent shops on sale. So come join us….
Yule be sorry to miss this one!
About Us
Following a Summer of events decimated by COVID-19 our team have been working away to create events and provide a space for live entertainment to be enjoyed in a safe environment.
You can see more about our PICNIC series below. It has been a strange year, but we still have some experiences to remember; a proposal during Omars performance in Blenheim, seeing Phil Wang be eaten alive by bugs on our outdoor stage by the river!
It is important as ever to keep adapting and showing our support for this industry, when you come to one of our events you are supporting small independents- artists, event providers, staff, live musicians who have barely had any opportunity to perform this year.
What’s on?
You can Mistle toast the Season in our winter wonderland for the whole of December in Jubilee Square during this month, with festive drinks, nibbles and fun! We also have a number of various entertainment, workshops and shows on.
Please see below:
We are open throughout December so book yourself a table to enjoy drinks, music, festivities and more through open table below: If you would like to book one of our Christmas shows or workshops please click here

FAQs
NHS Test and Trace
We will be using the NHS test and trace system at the event to insure the maximum safety of staff, customers and artists. The purpose is to rapidly detect people who have recently come into close contact with a new Covid-19 case, and then take swift action to minimise transmission of the virus.

These details will be ethically and safely stored, complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
