Our Roots

A night like no other!

Our Roots is a one-of-a-kind event created by Brighton's own legendary queer club nights UOKHUN?, Polyglamorous and Gal Pals. These club powerhouses have been brought together to create an unforgettably colourful celebration of queer chaos at the iconic Brighton Dome.

Expect a wild and vivid night filled with happy hedonism, fabulous fashion, go-go performers, and non-stop dancing to a banquet of bangers, including pop, disco, house and techno. The first ever club night at Brighton Dome, this event is all about inclusivity, celebrating Brighton’s LGBTQIA+ community and heritage, and creating a safe space for all.

Featuring DJ sets from BISHI and Brighton Festival Guest Director Nabihah Iqbal, and visual art installation by Louis-Jack and Jak Skot, Our Roots is an unmissable opportunity to be part of our city’s queer history. This event is open to all people who are committed to inclusivity, respect, and creating a safe space for all to dance the night away.

Our Roots has been created for the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies, with the goal of providing a safe space for all attendees. Like the rest of Brighton Festival, this event has a zero tolerance policy for hate or harassment of any kind, and individuals who do not adhere to this policy will be asked to leave. Consent is mandatory, and individuals must ask for consent before touching any other participant (this includes their hair or belongings). Remember to always ask, rather than assume, someone's gender or sexuality. If you are made to feel uncomfortable in any way, please speak to a member of the Brighton Festival staff team.
