The WordCamp Brighton conference days will be hosted at the Clarendon Centre.
Our afterparty will take place after the conference finishes on Saturday 18th August, and will be held at Patterns. Patterns is a bar very close to Brighton seafront, with a wonderful outdoor terrace area to enjoy the sunshine on 🌞
Contributor Day will take place on Sunday 19th August at The Skiff – a co-working community located just down the road from the Clarendon Centre.
All the relevant information about our venues can be found below, but if you have any questions about any of the locations, please do contact us.
All of the venues used throughout WordCamp Brighton are wheelchair accessible, and the Clarendon Centre also provides hearing loops.
The Clarendon Centre: Conference Days
Getting to the Clarendon Centre on the 17th and 18th August
Brighton Railway Station is 0.3 miles away from the Clarendon Centre, which is around a 6 minute walk. A taxi ride from the station is likely to take a little longer at around 10 minutes due to traffic in the area.
London Road Brighton Station is slightly further away from the Clarendon Centre (0.5 miles). It’ll take 10 minutes to walk from here, but only 5 minutes by taxi.
If you’re heading to WordCamp Brighton by car, you unfortunately won’t be able to park on site. There is on-street meter parking outside of the venue, and the London Road multi-storey car park is a 3 minute walk away. Parking for 9 hours in the multi-storey car park will cost £8.00.

Accommodation
There are a variety of different accommodation options available in Brighton and the surrounding areas.
The city of Brighton & Hove is very easy to get around – either on foot, bike, by bus, or in a taxi.
If you opt to stay outside of the city in neighbouring towns (such as Portslade, Patcham, Lewes, Worthing and Eastbourne), you can easily get into Brighton by train, taxi, or bus.
We recommend checking out Airbnb for places to stay. There are reasonably priced places on Airbnb in Brighton & Hove and the surrounding areas mentioned above.
As the conference approaches, hotels in central Brighton become increasingly expensive, so it’s best to book as early as you can. If you’re searching for a hotel, check out Booking.com for lots of options in central Brighton and nearby.
WordCamp Brighton will be a safe and positive conference for everyone. Learn more in our code of conduct.
