First Press Record Fair x We Love 45s are heading to Saltdean Lido on 23 May 2026!

We Love 45s comes to Saltdean Lido for the first time in collaboration with First Press, with the Record Fair returning after an excellent day out last summer. This special event celebrates 7” vinyl culture with a curated record fair and a soundtrack of four hours of 45s spun by selectors from the 45 Day community, alongside some of Brighton’s finest stores, dealers and collectors opening their crates.

Set against the iconic architectural backdrop of Saltdean Lido, a beloved modernist landmark by the sea, DJs will bring deep, eclectic, and soulful 45s to life, complementing the vibe of this historic venue and seaside setting.

£2 entry with half of proceedings being donated to the excellent charity Help Musicians, who help the next generation of music makers to get a break – free after 2pm, but donations welcome.

Getting to the Lido

Travelling from Brighton to Saltdean Lido couldn’t be easier!

BUS
Take the 12, 12X, 14 or 27 from Brighton Station or anywhere in the city centre or near the pier.

If coming from outside of Brighton the 12X runs along the coast past the Lido, if you’re coming from Worthing or Eastbourne it’s just one bus away.

CYCLE
Treat yourself to a trip along the Under Cliff Walkway – past the Brighton Marina it’s a breezy 20 minute cycle.

DRIVE
Free parking on site and in the surrounding streets – make sure to validate if you’re staying for more than 2 hours.
