» Sundown Show Bar cancelled
A new Brighton Festival Fringe venue has had to pull out at the eleventh hour because of unexpected costs.
The Sundown Show Bar was to be located next to St Peter’s Church, where the Parlure Spiegeltent was last year. Put on by the people behind Beachdown Festival, the Sundown was to showcase many of the acts seen at Beachdown’s cabaret tent last year. In a statement, Beachdown said: “Due to unexpected costs as well as unforeseen circumstances imposed on The Sundown Show Bar site, we have regrettably had to cancel all events scheduled for the Brighton Fringe Festival. This does not affect the running of Beachdown Festival in August later this year.”
All tickets bought for Sundown shows through the fringe website or Dome box office will be automatically refunded and ticket buyers will be contacted.
Nick Stockman, Fringe executive manager, said: “We have put in a lot of work nurturing the St Peter‘s site and I’m sure it can be used as a Fringe site again. We‘ll do our best to ensure there is something at St Peter‘s again next year.“
Two events have found new homes – David Devant and his Spirit Wife will move to St Andrews Church, Hove and Voodoo Vaudeville will run every Saturday during the Fringe at Upstairs at Three and Ten.
