During the last 12 months the monthly one nighter has gone from strength to strength repeating the massive success of the night in Blackpool, Birmingham, Dublin and Manchester where is was originally launched 8 years ago.

After just a couple of appearances in Brighton last year The Big Scrum came runners-up in the Favourite Club Night category at the Golden Handbag Award which organisers of the Big Scrum brand say was “a high for the brand.”

The Big Scrum takes place every second Friday of the month from 11pm-5am at Subline, with pre-Scrum drinks at the Marine Tavern in Broad Street, from 9-11pm.

Each month around 100 rugby and kitted men attend the event and these numbers continue to grow each month.

Lee Cockshott and Stephen Littlewood who organises the Brighton Scrum said: “I would like to thank all our regular supporters for their continued support, without them the event would not be possible and remember to vote for us in this years Golden Handbag Awards this month.”

What can you expect to find at Big Scrum?
