Free after-school fun every Thursday! Crafts, games, surprise activities & a hot family meal – all at Brighton’s community pub.

Bring the kids, meet neighbours and enjoy an afternoon that won’t cost a penny.

Every Thursday at The Bevy we open our doors for a relaxed, family-friendly after-school club with free activities for children and a free hot meal for the whole family.

It’s the perfect way to unwind at the end of the school day, catch up with friends and let the kids burn off some energy in a safe, welcoming space.
