This year marks TEN YEARS of ✶ FUNK THE BORDERS ✶ — and our fifth legendary celebration!
Over the past decade, we’ve brought you unforgettable nights with Kae Tempest, Beans on Toast, DHARNI, REEPS ONE, KingPin, and Ruby Throat.
This Christmas, expect another wild, beautiful, chaotic fusion of music, art, and community.
🎟️ Tickets: £10 (Contact us for discounts & Free Refugee Passes)
💛 Please donate more if you can — 100% of profits go to Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK) and Sumud School in Gaza via West Wales for Palestine.
🎨 ART FOR PEACE & CONNECTION 🎨
♡ Sumud School in Gaza is collaborating with us — children there are creating art pieces for exhibition and sale.
Each piece sold includes a photo and message from the young artist.
In return, you’re invited to send back a photo or short video message of yourself receiving their art.
A two-way act of love, defiance, and solidarity across borders. ♡
We’re also accepting donations of art for our exhibition and online auction — a rare chance to showcase your work in the heart of Brighton.
