Soho House to open Brighton members' club this month

Soho House is to open its long-awaited Brighton members' club at the end of March.

Little Beach House Brighton is situated in a Grade II-listed building on Madeira Drive, close to Brighton Palace Pier.

It is set over two floors and features a Club Cecconi's restaurant, club space with bar, events spaces and a terrace pool looking out to the sea.

Planning permission for the site was granted in 2015 but updates on the status of the development have been scarce.

Nick Jones, who founded Soho House in 1995, 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."

Soho House will run its 16-week mentoring programme in Brighton, connecting young people in the city with its members to build their confidence and connections. As part of the scheme each mentee is awarded a Soho House membership to help grow their network, and members who take part will receive training on how to deliver advice and coaching.

Little Beach House will be the third UK Soho House to open outside of London, following Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire and Babington House in Somerset.
