Creative Brighton

The creative industries sector employs 16,000 people in Brighton & Hove.  That’s 10.7% of the workforce.

Creative Brighton was born out of the belief that Brighton & Hove offer an exceptional and unique environment in which the creative industries can flourish.  It’s the independent industry-led group that represents the creative industries sector in Brighton & Hove, recognised locally and regionally as the primary consultative organisation for the city’s creative sector.

Creativity is at the heart of the city - from a new fashion or design graduate determined to set up a small business, to a global gaming company with over 1000 employees, through to England's largest arts event - The Brighton Festival and over 6000 freelancers working as writers, artists, performers, musicians, actors and every other creative profession.

Creative Brighton's main aim is to act as a catalyst for those working within the creative industries in Brighton.  Whether it's bringing people together through a networking event, offering support to a business relocating here, or lobbying for new workspace - we are here to support, enable and promote the creative industries in Brighton.  We work to encourage a thriving creative environment, in which creative companies of all sizes can achieve the level of commercial success and critical recognition they aspire to.

Creative Brighton has commissioned this site.  If you are a creative business or freelancer - working in designer fashion, digital media, visual or performing arts, advertising, music, product design, TV or radio – then this site provides a gateway to the services, news and opportunities that will help you in your work.
