Brighton club Quarters launches free monthly events amid cost of living crisis

Brighton nightclub Quarters has launched a series of free monthly events in the hopes of making clubbing more accessible for young dance music fans.

The free event series launched in February with a takeover from Ed Solo and Benny L, and will continue monthly throughout the year with the likes of Sexy Lady Massive, Phibes, Silva Snipa and more set to appear at the club.

Quarters says that it aims to channel the “free-rave spirit of the ‘80s and ‘90s” by creating an inclusive and community-driven series of parties amidst the ongoing cost of living crisis.

4,000 tickets have already been claimed for forthcoming free events, with just a handful of names revealed so far spanning drum ‘n’ bass, UKG, jungle, rave, jump-up and more.

Quarters opened for the first time in September 2025 within the former home of iconic Brighton nightspot The Zap, and came from the team behind Junction 2, LWE and Boundary Brighton.

The storied venue space on Brighton's seafront was entirely renovated, which first opened as The Zap in 1982 before changing names multiple times throughout the decades, later becoming The Arch.

Just ahead of announcing its first music programme in the summer of 2025, Quarters said in an Instagram post that nights out "have started to feel more like a luxury than an essential”.

The club revealed that it would release affordable, “heavily-discounted” tickets for its WhatsApp community, pledging to collaborate with grassroots talent, promoters, and performers throughout the city.
