About Old Market

Old Market is a live music venue in Hove, Hove with a standing capacity of approximately 500. Contact the venue for their technical specification and backline.

Old Market books Jazz acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Hove venue directory.

The ‌‌‍Old Market (TOM) is a dynamic, recently renovated cultural venue at 11a Upper Market Street, Hove, East Sussex (BN3 1AS), just outside Brighton city centre. Its flexible main space holds roughly 300-500 people and stages everything from live music and jazz to new theatre, cabaret and Brighton Fringe shows; the building also houses production facilities and art/photography galleries. Touring acts such as corto.alto have played here. NOTE: the imported record listed this as 'Old Market, London E2' — that is incorrect; the venue tied to the source booking is The Old Market in Hove, not London.
