Testimonials
We recently celebrated our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah at Middle Brighton Baths and it was such a magical night. The team made the entire process seamless and were professional, responsive and genuinely invested in making the night special. The venue is stunning with beautiful bay views and everything ran perfectly on the night. It gave our daughter and our family a celebration we will remember forever.
Had my 30th birthday over the weekend and the entire experience was incredible. The food was amazing, the staff were so friendly and helpful!
We held a Spring Lunch at The Baths upstairs (110 people). Food was delicious, views stunning and got such positive feedback from those that went. Would highly recommend.
The organisation of the function was very efficient and streamlined. The venue's waiting staff were very courteous and the event ran smoothly. I highly recommend The Middle Brighton Baths as an event venue.
We would like to thank the Brighton Middle Baths Events Team for their hard work and professionalism hosting our many times Covid- postponed international reunion wedding celebration. We had the most wonderful wedding and party at The Baths and our guests, who travelled from around the world to be with us, loved the venue, the view, the food and the excellent service. Thank you to all involved at The Baths for making our wedding so special and memorable!
