Five years ago Charles Childs bought Doctor Brighton’s and along with his two managers Wayne Durant and Anthony van-Room has created one of the most popular venues on the seafront attracting a mixed, up for a party clientele.
Charles has seen his business grow steadily each year, building a solid reputation around their regular Friday and Saturday nights featuring resident DJ’s, Tony B, Nick Hurst and Adam Rice. Last year they successfully introducd live music to the venue with Anna Sin and the Jukebox Bandits
Charles said: “My ethos has been always to provide a welcoming environment offering good quality service and a fun packed experience for everyone.
“Last year we refurbished the exterior of the bar which was long overdue. This January we refurbished both the gents and the ladies toilets and we have plans for more improvements in the near future.”
Charles has created a party function areas in the bar which includes both bay windows and the pool area where birthdays, anniversaries and wedding receptions are hosted. Balloons, banners and shots are all provided compliments of the venue.
To mark Dr Brighton’s five year anniversary Charles has personally pledged to raise £10,000 for charities close to his heart.
He said: “I really want to give back to the Brighton community which has given me so much support and also to Macmillan Cancer Sussex nursing.”
They start their fundraising ventures at their fifth birthday party on Saturday, March 8 starting at 6-30pm with live music from Anna Sin and then 80’s DJ Adam Rice. There will be a charity auction with donations from local businesses and then a further set from Anna Sin before DJ Tony B takes to the decks and gets everyone up and ready for late night dancing..
For this special night there will be a £10 entry charge on the door if you arrive at 6pm. You will get a mouth tingling chilli con carne with rice, and a glass of bubbly. Alternatively you can join them later in the evening for DJ Tony B when the entry fee is £5 and includes a free drink and a shot.
Charles will also be introducing and launching his team for Tough Mudder which is a hard core 10-12 mile obstacle course designed by special forces to test your overall strength, stamina, determination and camaraderie, with only 78% of entrants successfully completing each section. If you are committed and interested contact Charles at the bar along with any ideas for fundraising you have that will help him reach his target of £10,000.
Charles concluded: “I envisage that this year will be action packed with fun and lots of exciting events. I would like to say a massive thank you to all of our customers and friends for their unrelenting support over last 5 years and I hope that all our regulars will come and join me for a glass of bubbles on me to celebrate the past 5 years and help me kick off my fundraising adventure for the year.”
After extensive community consultation the theme of the Pride Community Parade this year will be The World’s A Disco, celebrating music, dance and colours around the globe from the diversity of disco to the sauciness of salsa.
