Enjoolata Localisation Day Celebration!

The localisation movement is growing stronger. Across the world, people are speaking out against the global economy that is playing havoc with our lives and destroying our shared planet. Simultaneously, millions of us are engaged in rebuilding healthy local economies, communities and food systems.

This June, we’re taking over The Old Market for an evening that brings together our partners, friends, and curious members of the public for good food, great conversations, and a proper sense of shared energy.

Localisation can feel like a big nebulous idea, but we want to show you how tangible it really is. You’ll see it in the food on your plate, the people running stalls, the conversations at your table, and the organisations choosing to show up for their communities every day.

Event details

Date: Thursday 18th June 2026

Time: 6.30pm – 9.00pm event

Venue: The Old Market, Upper Market Street, Hove, BN3 1AS

Tickets: £7 (including box office fee)

We don’t want cost to be a barrier to attending, so we’ve set aside a limited number of free tickets for anyone who needs one.

What should you expect?

Good Food

Good People

Good Conversation

There’ll be a three-course meal from Sussex Surplus, with desserts from The Network of International Women Brighton & Hove, so you already know you’re in safe hands on the food front. Around the space, we’ll have artwork from From the Ground Studio, Enjoolata Charity Market Stalls and a (very) short film from Local Futures exploring the power of engaging locally.

Your ticket will come with a drink of your choice, and it also gets you into our raffle. We’re matching all ticket income, and the total pot will be split between three winners, who each get to choose a charity to donate it to! There’ll also be a secondary raffle packed with prizes from brilliant local organisations, so plenty of chances to walk away with something good.
