Brighton's 'Birdcage' Bandstand - a photo on Flickriver

            The 19th century Bandstand on Brighton’s seafront is a truly beautiful structure, bringing back the days when a local or guest band would give an afternoon concert for the pleasure of passers-by and people relaxing in deckchairs. 

The bandstand, constructed in 1884 and known affectionately by locals as ‘The Birdcage’, has been magnificently restored to its full glory in a project funded by Brighton and Hove City Council and involving local architects ABIR and Cheesemur building contractors. The result is absolutely stunning. It’s now considered to be one of the finest examples of surviving Victorian bandstands anywhere in England, and it's easy to see why.

And the spirit of past days lives on. Every Sunday afternoon during June, July and August, bands still put on free public performances. The bandstand is also available for private hire.
