About the Brighton & Hove calendar

A closer look
The Brighton & Hove Calendar is printed locally in Sussex on FSC-certified paper using vegetable-based inks and plastic-free packaging.
The 2027 edition has 32 pages, with plenty of room for notes, reminders, birthdays and big plans. Alongside the photography you’ll find useful Brighton-focused dates, UK holidays and our much-loved tide timetable.
It measures 34 x 24cm (13.4 x 9.4 inches), with plenty of space to jot down notes, reminders, and important dates throughout the year.

Brighton through fresh eyes
Every year we invite photographers to show us Brighton & Hove as they see it.
That might mean a dramatic seafront landscape, a familiar landmark seen from an unfamiliar angle, a tiny everyday moment, or something gloriously odd that could really only happen in Brighton.
The result is a calendar created from many different viewpoints, and a reminder that even when you know the city inside out, there is always something new to notice.

Meet Alex & Lisa
We’re Alex and Lisa Bamford; a Brighton-based photographer and designer duo.
We’ve known Nigel, the original founder, for nearly two decades. Alex first appeared in the 2009 calendar and has since been involved in its photography, design and curation. Lisa brings her graphic design and project management experience to the team.
Our aim? The same as Nigel’s – to make high-quality, affordable photography of Brighton available to everyone.
The Brighton calendar is born
A brief history
The story began in 2000, when local photographer Nigel Swallow had the idea to sell affordable photographs of Brighton; first from a market stall, then from his gallery, North Laine Photography, above Snoopers Paradise in Kensington Gardens.
The money he made from those early calendars helped support numerous up-and-coming artists. What started as a small local project quickly found its way onto walls across the city and around the world.
You can find many of Nigel’s early calendar images (and many more) in his book, The Joy of Being Brighton.
