The Green Door Store music venue in Brighton have been successfully supporting local grassroots music and night clubbing for more than a decade.
The distinctive and popular street level venue is conveniently located at Unit 2, 3, & 4 Trafalgar Arches, Lower Goods Yard, Brighton Train Station, Brighton, BN1 4FQ. This is a blessing as patrons can easily get public transport (trains, buses, taxis) to and from the venue as they are all located a mere one minute walk away!

They are certainly pulling out all the stops for this year’s ‘234 Fest’ as they have now also added an afterparty event on Saturday 23rd September, which will take place a short walk away from the Green Door Store at The Rossi Bar, the live music venue and Rocking Cocktail Bar located near The Hope & Ruin on Queens Road. This will run from 11pm until late and will feature a live set from the awesome Pussyliquor. This too is a free event, but it will be first come, first served.
