- **Event Name**: First Thursdays New Brighton - 5 November 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Nov, 2026 at 05:00 pm (+13:00)
- **Event Description**: FIRST THURSDAYS NEW BRIGHTON - 5 NOVEMBER 

First Thursdays is back for round 2!

After a brilliant first evening in October, we’re doing it all again - and building on what we started.

First Thursdays brings together local businesses, artists, performers, creatives and community groups for a changing mix of things to see, do, eat, hear and experience around New Brighton.

Expect businesses open late, live music, workshops, pop-ups, performances, food, creative activities and unexpected things happening in spaces around the neighbourhood.

The idea is simple: rather than creating one big event in one place, First Thursdays is about New Brighton activating New Brighton.
Come down, have a wander, discover something new, support local and see what New Brighton gets up to after hours.

CELEBRATING CHANGE

Our 2026 theme is Celebrating Change – recognising the changes happening across New Brighton while creating more reasons to visit and support the businesses and people who are here while that change is happening.

October was about getting started.

November is about building on it.

Then on 3 December, we’ll bring it all together for our biggest First Thursday of the year.

📅 Thursday 5 November 2026
📍 New Brighton
🎨 Full programme coming soon

Want to be involved? We’re keen to hear from local businesses, artists, makers, performers, creatives and community groups with ideas for November or December.
