The Skep
The Venue at Moulsecoomb Place
The Skep, The Venue at Moulsecoomb Place is a new venue for east and north Brighton where local people, groups, businesses and organisations can come together and connect. Designed to host both small groups and larger gatherings, The Skep offers room to meet, eat, make, create, talk, sing, debate, learn and plan.
Like its namesake – the traditional woven beehive – The Skep is intended as a shelter for collective activity: a place that holds, nurtures and supports community, creative and business life.
