Brunswick Town turns 200 - Join us for a Celebration!

Nearly 200 years ago, architect Charles Busby and landowner Thomas Scutt agreed to build a new town.

The Memorandum of Agreement they subsequently signed on 11th November 1824 would define Brunswick Town much as we see it today.

Exactly 200 years later, on the evening of 11th November 2024, the team at The Old Market is collaborating with The Regency Town House to host a celebration of this important local event.

At 6:00pm, the pay bar at The Old Market will open to welcome those with an interested in the City’s history to gather and chat. 

At 7:00 pm, Nick Tyson, the Curator at The Regency Town House, will deliver a presentation about the Memorandum of Agreement and explain how what was built differs from what was planned. A short Q&A session will follow.

At around 8:00pm, we will round off the evening with a salute to Busby and Scutt.

This event is free, but spaces are limited and places must be pre-booked.  Make a reservation.

Celebration details:  11 November 2024, 6pm to 8pm.  At, The Old Market, 11A Upper Market St, Brighton and Hove, BN3 1AS
