About The Haunt - Brighton
The Haunt, reimagined as Chalk in 2019, sits at 13 Pool Valley, Brighton BN1 1NJ, just opposite Brighton Pier and next to the Pool Valley coach station. This versatile, independent venue occupies a repurposed cinema space and now operates as a modern, multi‑purpose room with a mezzanine/balcony, an upstairs bar, and configurable seating. With a capacity that ranges from ~350 up to ~850 or more depending on the setup, The Haunt offers a dynamic stage and flexible floor plan to suit a wide range of live performances—from intimate gigs to larger club‑style shows.
Getting there is straightforward: The Haunt is highly walkable from Brighton Station, and the Pool Valley Coach Station sits adjacent for convenient departures and arrivals. Local bus routes access the area via Brighton and Old Steine stops. While there is no on‑site parking, several nearby city car parks and the Pool Valley car park provide easy options for drivers. After the show, take advantage of central Brighton’s hotel and dining scene. Notable nearby hotels include the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole along the seafront, offering comfortable stays within a short walk of the venue. For food and drinks before or after events, the city center hosts a range of options from casual eateries to fine dining.
