A new gathering in central Brighton is inviting residents to bypass standard pub small talk in favour of deeper conversation. Hosted by the Psychedelic Society, the PsySoc Social BRIGHTON: Speed-Friending & Psychedelic Storytelling will take place in the downstairs private function room at the Caxton Arms on North Gardens.
The evening begins with guided speed-friending, pairing people up for short chats using conversation prompts and playful ice-breakers. Later on, the floor opens for five-minute open-mic storytelling, where attendees can step up to share personal tales that might be funny, strange or mystical. It is designed for anyone interested in fungi and community connection, regardless of age, background or gender. Most people turn up on their own, and attendees are welcome to stay on for drinks in the main pub afterwards, though visitors should note the basement room is reached by stairs and lacks wheelchair access.
