A NEW private members’ club along the Sussex seafront is set to open at the end of this month.

Soho House’s third UK House, ‘Little Beach House Brighton’ in Madeira Drive, will be the company’s first coastal site and aims to be a “home away from home for Brighton’s thriving creative community to come together to eat, drink and collaborate”.

Founder and CEO of Soho House Nick Jones said: “So many of our existing members live in Brighton, so it seemed like a natural step to open a local House in the city.

“It is a brilliant place, full of progressive spirit that our members love.”

The new House is located in a Grade II-listed terrace overlooking Brighton beach, providing space for members to eat, drink, socialise and work, including event spaces, a terrace pool looking out to sea, a club space with a bar and Club Cecconi’s restaurant serving northern Italian dishes.

The venue’s design also takes inspiration from the surrounding seaside and nearby Art Deco architecture, with local suppliers, craftsmen and artists contributing work to furnish the House.

An art election at the venue is made up of more than 110 works by artists born, based or trained in Brighton and its surroundings, with highlights including a banana mosaic at the bottom of the swimming pool - designed by artist David Shrigley, and fabric used throughout the house - designed by recent Brighton University graduate artist Miranda Forrester.

It also boasts a collection of work from an international line-up of LGBTQ+ artists, in a “love letter to Brighton as a historical beacon city for the queer community”.

The glass-fronted House is connected by a courtyard to the Soho Works building, which will launch later this year.

A 16-week mentoring programme, Soho Mentorship Brighton, that connects young people in the city with members of the club to grow connections, confidence and experience will also launch at the House in May, with mentees awarded membership to grow their network.

Founded in 1995, Soho House has members and Houses around the world - including in Rome, Paris and New York City, as well as restaurants, spas, workspaces and cinemas,
