About Madam Lola's

If you're looking for a unique events venue in Kemptown, Brighton, Madam Lola's offers a flamboyant, artist-led experience across cabaret, dance and vocal performances, with a capacity of up to 220 people. Unlike other venues for corporate gatherings, birthday parties or weddings, Madam Lola's doesn't act as merely a backdrop but offers an immersive show that you and your guests can enjoy throughout the evening. 

Not only is Madam Lola's is the UK's only artist-led cabaret, but in terms of location, it has the perfect spot in Kemptown, just a few minutes walk from Brighton seafront. You can see the famous copper Indo-Saracenic dome of this Grade II listed building from far away, and the venue is just a 15 minute walk from Brighton train station, in an area famed for its sea views, atmospheric sunsets and surrounding nightlife. Whether you're looking for overnight accomodation close by or you're hoping to visit a few more bars after Madam Lola's, this is a great area to be in. 

An impressive seven nights a week, Madam Lola's has a license to stay open until 2am, and when not booked for events, doors usually open at 7pm followed by a round of drinks, the first act, another drinks top up and the final act, before a DJ set and hours of partying. For your event, you can speak to the team about rearranging the order or asking for something special, just share your preferences with them. It's the only venue with full aerial rig and specialist performer flying system, as well as club-ready Martin Audio surround sound, club lighting rigs, and a projector and screen for presentations, making it the ultimate flexible Brighton venue. 

When it comes to food and drink, Madam Lola's does not offer a full catering service but welcomes outside catering, and has a top-class cocktail team mixing up signature cocktails to order. Other things to note include a smart, stylish dress code which includes no sportswear and that this venue is over 18 year olds only post 8pm.

Testimonials for Madam Lola's

A total delightJULY, 2026

I’ve been to a lot of Burlesque/Cabaret shows and this one is possibly the best I’ve ever been to. I’ve been the HBBF many times (Hebden Bridge Burlesque Festival) and the acts at Madam Lola’s are top quality. The staff were very very happy and united, enthusiastic about this new club. Respectful, joyous and sexy. A total delight. Thank you.

Zebedee

Mama Lola is a fantastic venue with an incredible atmosphere. The shows were absolutely amazing, the entertainment was first-class, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. The staff were welcoming, and the venue had a vibrant, enjoyable energy throughout the evening. I would highly recommend Mama Lola to anyone looking for a memorable night out. I will definitely be booking again very soon!
