Exclusively operated by WaterBear, our very own WaterBear Venue is one of the most iconic live music venues in Brighton.
Nestled on the seafront, it combines a cove-like underground feel with foliage-covered ceilings, making it a unique place to enjoy music.
We host gigs, masterclasses, and public events here. It’s a central part of the learning experience at WaterBear, blending education with real-world opportunities.
Housed in a building with over 200 years of entertainment history, it has previously been known as Latest Music Bar and Manchester Street Arts Centre. The venue features a ground-floor bar and performance space, plus a dedicated live music basement.
Legendary names like Amy Winehouse, The Kooks, and Fatboy Slim have played here, and it remains a vibrant hub for both touring acts and WaterBear musicians.
