About this venue
Hove Park is a spacious urban park in Brighton, defined by broad lawns, mature trees and landscaped pathways. Rather than the architecture of a conventional indoor venue, its appeal comes from an open landscape suited to recreation, sporting activities and a variety of outdoor events. The park has no fixed spectator capacity like a stadium or concert hall, so attendance levels and spatial arrangements depend on the type and organisation of each event.
The experience at Hove Park is relaxed and distinctly open-air, with plenty of room for movement, rest and activities across its green spaces. Paths, benches and dedicated sports and recreation areas make the park comfortable for longer visits, while for organised events, acoustics, seating and additional visitor services depend on the temporary production infrastructure installed for the specific programme.
The park is located at Goldstone Cres, Brighton, United Kingdom, with access points opening from the surrounding streets, including Goldstone Crescent. Visitors arriving by car can use on-street parking in the surrounding area rather than a large dedicated car park directly beside the venue, while nearby public transport stops provide another convenient approach to the park entrances.

About the city
Brighton, a lively seaside city on England’s south coast, is far more than a classic day at the seaside—it’s a destination that naturally blends music, sport, and nightlife into a compact, walkable centre. The city feels relaxed yet energetic, so visitors can easily pair a concert or match with a seafront dinner, a few great bars, and an effortless city-break pace.
For arrival and getting around, Brighton benefits from highly practical rail and road links. The most common airport for international arrivals is London Gatwick Airport, where direct trains run to Brighton Station, the city’s main railway hub. Within town, the Brighton & Hove Buses network and local rail services make it easy to reach key areas, and well-known venues like Brighton Centre and Brighton Dome are often walkable too. For major sporting fixtures, the American Express Stadium (Falmer) is well served by public transport, keeping travel plans simple and stress-free.
Beyond the ticket itself, Brighton offers a strong mix of comfort and choice: accommodation ranges from seafront hotels and boutique stays in the centre to more budget-friendly options in nearby neighbourhoods. The food scene matches the city’s character—seafood favourites, modern bistros, and classic pubs create the perfect setup for the night before an event or a relaxed morning after. Many visitors also appreciate how easy the city is to navigate: busy and vibrant, yet compact enough to avoid long transfers.
Since you’re already here, add a small sightseeing “bonus”: stroll along the coast to Brighton Palace Pier, explore the narrow lanes of The Lanes, and take in the distinctive architecture of the Royal Pavilion. With a little extra time, the seafront promenades are ideal for a reset, and the nearby countryside towards the South Downs adds another layer to the trip—perfect for rounding out the experience before or after a concert or match.
