CHOOSE YOUR MOMENT, BABES.
Your pool slot is your golden hour — swim, dance, and live it up while your favourite DJ brings the HEAT. Whether you live for big pop moments, R&B bangers, or deep dance cuts, this is your chance to take the plunge while your dream set is playing.
Pool slots are on a first come first serve basis, so match your splash to the act who's gonna make you feel your fantasy. Once you’re out, the party doesn’t stop — you’ll still have access to the outdoor grounds and stage, indoor ballroom and underground club room for the rest of the day - oh, and the exclusive VIP balcony for our Pink Access Pass holders.
Oh and remember sis, we want to keep it clean. Drinks in the pool are not cute, and we want to respect the rules. Please make sure you have read our alcohol policy before joining us on the day.
So what are you waiting for?! DIVE IN!

HEADLINER
CRYSTAL
Crystal is the gender-bending drag artist, DJ and presenter who came to prominence on RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 1. A Canada native, but having lived in London for 15 years, Crystal is embedded within the local LGBTQIA+ community and is a known more recently for winning in a high-profile court against Laurence Fox.
A self-confessed "stunt queen", Crystal is never afraid to shock audiences with performances that dazzle and delight, combining art school creativity, high performance and daring techniques, including angle grinding, circus stunts, and aerial rope. As a DJ, Crystal has played around the world, from Prides around the UK to London’s nightclubs (Gauche, Feel It), to regular residency at Other.
Crystal believes drag is a vehicle to dismantle the patriarchy and liberate us from gender norms. Drag uses radical self-expression to show us that there are no rules, other than what we impose on ourselves.
18:00 - 20:00
OUTDOOR STAGE
Swimsuits ready, SISSIES? Our outdoor stage is where the magic happens. Our fierce DJs are bringing you high camp energy across pop, R&B and dance. This is your sun-soaked soundtrack all day long. You’ll need to book your pool slot to match which act you wanta to party to whilst in the pool, so plan your plunge wisely. You’ll have full access to the poolside grounds all day, so you can soak up the sun before and after your slot!

BALLROOM
It's time to step into the ballroom. From 4–8pm, Brighton legends Polyglamorous take over with fierce DJs, stunning dancers, and a catwalk stage made for icons only. In the words of the late Paris Hilton, "That's HOT!". Oh, it also connects directly to the VIP balcony for when you need a breather (or a better view).

CLUB ROOM
Oh, so you wanted a twist, eh? Welcome to our underground club room. This is where the bass gets deeper, the lights get darker and the rave kicks in. Expect late-night, c*nty, ibiza energy with melodic house, disco, pop and R&B. This is "SISSIES At The Afters", before the afters - before the afters begins.
