Ecstatic Dance: 7pm
​About Ecstatic Dance:
​
Our bodies are born with rhythm; our heartbeat, our brain waves, our cyles of sleep, growth and feeling. We are an exquisite part of the natural world and respond to our environments through our inner experience.
​
Often our lives run in habitual auto pilot without deeply listening to the voices within. And when those voices are ignored or not heard, emotion, thought and illness can be suppressed. We 'suddenly' become ill, stressed or breakdown.
​
Through Ecstatic Dance we are given the opportunity to listen to our body, to move in new ways, to dance as we want when we want. We develop an awareness of our patterns and habits. We can express without words and honour our experiences.
​
Through drums, rhythms, melodies and vibration we can release and heal habits or heaviness we may be carrying. We can be reborn through the movement journey. Reborn into stillness, peace, understanding and compassion.
​
Ecstatic Dance is based on an ancient healing modality for individuals and communities. To witness, celebrate, grieve and transform as a group. Cathartic, sweaty, fun and divine. ​
About Anna Lisa, Creatrix & Manageress of Ecstatic Dance Brighton:​ Landing confidently in the Conscious Dance scene in 2021 Anna Lisa brings the essence of the embodied wild feminine, big basslines, deep drums and sensual flow to dance journeys whether in a yoga studio, remote forest or sober club rave.
Rainbow Craft Events - Craft Fair: 11am-5pm
Free entry
We began our journey trading at local craft fairs in Brighton and Hove as Be Natural Candles, and through this experience, we’ve become an active part of the vibrant local craft makers community.
Over time, we’ve connected with countless talented designers, makers, and artists, all showcasing a diverse and inspiring range of handmade and artisan products.
With the knowledge and insights gained from our own experiences as independent traders, we created Rainbow Craft Events — a platform built on passion, professionalism, and a deep appreciation for quality and uniqueness.
We’re proud to host events that celebrate creativity, attention to detail, and the spirit of handmade craftsmanship. Whether you’re a maker or a visitor, we’d love for you to be part of our community.

About Beau-Events and the curator:
"I have been creating and making independently as BeauBottletops for 9 years now. I started trading at Art Markets 6 years ago. I decided after attending events, that the next career move would be to run the events myself! Having come from a background in mental health and Psychology, I now work part time for a local, independent jeweller in Brighton, and run my own Art Business/Events Business. Running events and creating a platform for other local independent creatives is what I know best, and I will continue to put on the best Art & Makers Events Brighton has to offer!
Promoting & supporting independent artists is the key to keeping Beau-Events successful, these Art Markets are not just a platform for selling works, they are an opportunity for individual makers to meet like minded individuals and network. Join our amazing community today!
Being a creative myself, the marketing, promoting, social media and decor are what distinguishes Beau-Events Art Markets from the rest. I pride myself on creating a magical environment for both the traders and customers. When you sign up to trade with Beau-Events, you are getting the whole package, time and effort is continuously poured into the advertising to create the best footfall for the events, and keep my artists in the lime light! With over 500 across all events throughout the year, Beau-Events is about bringing 'shopping small' back to the high street - all year round. I am here to encourage and support both established and emerging artists to build on there own platform and let the world see their wonderful creations, art is essential, we are a movement changing the way people shop in Brighton & Hove"
