La Bistrotheque Well imagine you have stumbled on a fabulous Parisienne drinking den. The tables are covered in red gingham cloths and candles light up the room. The company is seriously chic and the conversation heated and intense. At the bar they are serving a selection of delicious cheeses, some rather tasty red wine and a variety of scrumptious cocktails. There is also some sultry entertainment taking place for your pleasure and amusement then BANG the disco lights come on and the whole place erupts into a frenzied party of dizzying disco beats and the night takes on an altogether more frenetic edge.

A Dark Day in Paradise by Clare Twomey 3,000 black ceramic butterflies descend on the sumptuous interiors of the Royal Pavilion. The butterflies cluster on the extravagant Banqueting Room table, across window panes, in roof lights, on mantelpieces and other surfaces throughout the ground floor rooms. Their sombre beauty is a reflection on the excesses and frivolity of the past life of the palace.
Clare Twomey is a British ceramicist/artist who works with clay in large-scale installations, sculpture and site-specific works. Over the past 10 years she has exhibited at Tate, Victoria & Albert Museum, Crafts Council, and the Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto, Japan. A museumaker commission, funded by the MLA and the Arts Council England

Plant Portraits An exhibition of paintings by botanical artists that convey a plant’s technical form and structure as well as its beauty in ways that a photograph cannot.  Botanical drawing has a legacy of historical importance going back to the time of ancient Egypt.  Successful illustrators must be technically highly competent in drawing and painting, with a good knowledge of botany and the ability to convey the sense of wonder of the plant world. The beautiful works of art in this exhibition are complemented by magnificently illustrated botanical books and specimens from the Booth Museum collections. Plant Portraits is presented by the Botanical Art Society of Sussex in conjunction with the Booth Museum of Natural History. Booth Museum of Natural History

Fat Freddys Drop If you are lucky enough to have tickets to the early show, you can stay on afterwards for FREE for Slackers Convention party, in the bar straight after the gig! And those of you who did not manage to get a ticket can still enjoy some Slackers action, just pay 3 pounds entry on the door from 11pm onwards! Fat Freddy's Drop's continuing success has beat an independent path to the ears and feet of audiences around the globe for over a decade. The Wellington seven piece band draws inspiration from every corner of the black music lexicon. Soul drenched vocals and jazz harmonies collide with tape delays and echo chambers, underpinned by a rhythm section like no other. The second studio album release in 2009 saw the band reach further into the bag of influences, stylistic recognition for Memphis soul, Detroit and Africa Jazz, alongside the anticipated blues and dub that Freddy's fans know them so well for. Freddy's is not afraid to test the boundaries of sound and are masters of genre-hoping, always coming out on top from the risks they take. Fat Freddy's Drop are the definition of cool.
