The Cowley Club

The Cowley Club in Brighton is a volunteer-run, collectively owned social centre that serves as a hub for activists, community groups, and anyone interested in grassroots movements. Its café, open during the day, offers a fully vegan menu with affordable, home-cooked meals, snacks, and drinks. The relaxed, welcoming space also hosts events, workshops, and a radical bookshop. As a non-profit cooperative, The Cowley Club operates on principles of mutual aid and solidarity, making it more than just a place to eat—it’s a community. It’s a unique spot in Brighton for those looking to support local activism and enjoy vegan food.
