Join us on the second Sunday of odd months to celebrate life!
+++++ NEW VENUE!!! Next Assembly will be at: WEST HILL HALL Compton Avenue, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 3PS +++++
As the days draw shorter, and the weather gives us cause to seek shelter, we welcome into our bunker local science-artist & long-time friend of Sunday Assembly Nick Sayers. Jumping off from his last talk on camera obscurae, Nick will be telling us about his current project installing reproduction ‘Ground Zero Indicator’ pinhole cameras atop abandoned nuclear bunkers.
We’ll be raising money* again for Moulsecoomb Forest Garden and Wildlife Project who connect people with gardening, food, and nature, offering activities around horticultural, carpentry, woodland management, cooking, educational and social opportunities to everyone.
And of course, there’ll be 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/website for more details!
Following the assembly, will be our AGM. Please do stick around and have a say in how Sunday Assembly Brighton is run.
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)
** 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 🙂
***** Scientists and art historians are able to detect forged art by measuring the radioactivity of paint, which is more radioactive due to nuclear testing since 1945.
What is Sunday Assembly Brighton?
We are a secular congregation who gather to celebrate the one life we all share. We are guided by our motto: Live Better, Help Often, Wonder More. We have no doctrine, and welcome everyone – our only ask is that you are considerate of each other.
A typical assembly consists of a main talk of around 20 minutes from somebody in our local community (topics have been varied, and have included Psychogeography, the innovations of undertakers, the cultural history of the moon, & wholesome pranks, to name but a few!) We then have shorter talks, from local scientists and members of our congregation, and often a poetry slot too.
You can also expect some community karaoke, fundraising for local causes, food bank collections, and very importantly tea, cake and a good natter afterwards.
We are volunteer run & always grateful for more support. Our next planning meeting is 6-7pm, Thursday 16th July at the Battle of Trafalgar pub, 34 Guildford Rd, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN1 3LW.
Update to our schedule – As of March 2026
Hey Brighton Congregation!
Spring is finally rolling around, and there are some changes afoot. We love running Sunday Assembly Brighton, and are grateful for everyone who contributes, whether by volunteering, baking, or simply showing up.
It’s been a tough few months with our volunteer & organising committee depleting. As we mentioned last assembly, we’ve put our heads together about how best to sustain this community while not burning out our regular volunteers and committee. For the time being, we will be running assemblies every other month. The next assembly will be on Sunday 12th July, 11am at St Stephen’s Hall, BN1 3BF. More details to follow soon.
We’re excited to see you again in July, and please, if you enjoy Sunday Assembly, we really could use a few extra heads, hearts, and hands (preferably still attached to willing volunteers) to help us keep this community going.
See you in at the Assembly… or on Thursday 16th July, 6pm at the Battle of Trafalgar for a planning meeting cough cough 😉
Amy, Leon & Robert on behalf of Sunday Assembly Brighton
