Dreamy Place, formerly Brighton Digital Festival, launches a new seven-day programme of art, creative tech and digital culture this October in Brighton & Hove and Crawley.
Produced by videoclub, the community-led festival showcases world-renowned artists and installations alongside local creative talent and interactive events. Dreamy Place is designed to engage people of all ages and backgrounds with the potential of creative technology.
The new name, Dreamy Place, aligns with videoclub’s vision to use the celebrated programme to encourage people to think about how new creative technologies can arouse curiosity, inspire creativity, and benefit mental and physical health. It has expanded outside of its original location across Brighton & Hove and explores how the festival can enable greater inclusion.
Dreamy Place takes place across two sites over two weekends: in Crawley from 12 to 14 October and in Brighton from 19 to 22 October.
