Sunday Assembly Brighton – Rite Here, Rite Now – Sunday 8th March 2026

Join us on the second Sunday of the month to celebrate life!

Spring is almost here! And we’ve been thinking about secular rituals for our next assembly: Rite Here, Rite Now! Our main speaker is from Sunday Assembly Brighton’s own ranks! Occupational therapist, hostess with the most(ess) & seeker of intentional community, Amy Darby will be considering the role of rituals within our lives. From the mundane to the extravagant, Amy will be exploring the many functions & forms of ritual, and most importantly, their value in establishing connections & community.

This month we’re raising money* for Hummingbird Project who work locally, responding to the needs of young refugees, and campaign nationally, for the rights & protection of refugees.

Beyond that, our regular round of singing, food bank**, tea (bring your keep-cup!), cake***, and friendly chit-chat with old friends and new****, to keep our spirits up and community warm 🙂 Click the link in bio or see our Facebook/Insta for more details!

Aaaannnd… honest moment – we love putting on Sunday Assembly, but we really could use a few extra heads, hearts, and hands (preferably still attached to willing volunteers) to help us keep this community going #sundayassembly #whatsonbrighton#wondermore#livebetter#helpoften

* money raised is usually split 50:50 between the charity and Sunday Assembly (for running costs, hall hire, tea, etc) but we’re running low on funds, so the 50:50 split will be after we’ve covered costs.
** tins of food, dry packet food, toiletries, and so on to be distributed to Brighton food banks by us at Sunday Assembly 🙂
*** and if you’re a keen baker – bring cake/brownies/your great bake-off practice pieces!
**** hey, tell your friends and bring them along too: more people = more community = more singing and good times 🙂
***** The funnest of the asterisks is the extraneous one: archaeological evidence suggests usage of red pigments for body painting & rituals dates back to 310,000–500,000 years ago.

11:00 – 12:30 at Middle Street School, 37 Middle St, Brighton BN1 1AL
