Work with us

IE Brighton creates independent-led events that champion the people, places and ideas that define Brighton’s independent culture.

We primarily work with local venues, breweries, makers and social groups. From city-wide beer festivals to beer trails, brand activations and creative partnerships, everything we do is rooted in Brighton’s independent spirit.
 

If you’re a brand, brewery, venue, artist or organisation looking to connect with people in a meaningful, joyful and very Brighton way (regardless of the location of your business, event or project) we’d love to work with you.

What we do

We Specialise in:

  • Festivals & multi-venue events
    City-wide celebrations that drive footfall and discovery

  • Brand activations
    Thoughtful, experience-first partnerships (not shouty sponsorship)

  • Trails & Crawls
    Storytelling-led routes that champion local venues and producers

  • Community-led projects
    Events that put people, place and participation first

  • Creative collaborations
    Working with artists, makers and small businesses to add texture and fun

We’re known for events that feel welcoming, well-curated and genuinely independent, with strong branding, clear comms and a lot of heart.


We partner with brands who care about what they do and how they show up. That means creativity, community and genuine connection — not just badges and branding. All partnerships are custom-built around shared values and ideas, designed to bring value to the audiences we’re engaging.

We regularly collaborate with:

Independent breweries & drinks brands
Pubs, bars and hospitality venues

Local artists, illustrators and makers

Ethical, values-led brands

Community/ social groups and collectives

Destination, tourism and place-based organisations

 

Whether you’re local to Brighton or looking to authentically plug into the city’s independent scene, we help you show up in a way that feels natural and memorable.

Who We
Work With

Why Work With IE Brighton?

We build events across Brighton with people we know and trust.

Our team come from a hospitality background, so we understand the industry, the pressure, the people behind the bars and businesses.
The venues and vendors we work with aren’t just partners — they’re our community. That’s why everything we do is about strengthening the independent scene, together.

This mean we have:

  • Deep roots in Brighton’s independent scene

  • A highly engaged targeted local audience

  • A thoughtful, design-led approach

  • Strong relationships with venues and producers

  • Experience delivering complex, multi-venue events

  • Friendly, collaborative and low-ego (but very organised)

In short: we make good things happen, with good people, in good places.
