Detour Discotheque at Shelter Hall: New Year’s Eve – Terms and Conditions

By purchasing a ticket for this event, you agree to the following terms.

1. The event

The event takes place at Shelter Hall, 152–154 Kings Road Arches, Brighton, BN1 1NB, from 8pm on Thursday 31 December 2026 until 2am on Friday 1 January 2027.

This is a Detour Discotheque event organised by The Distant Company Limited (“the organiser”).

Each ticket is valid for one person for this event only.

2. Tickets, refunds and resale

Tickets provide admission during the advertised event hours. Food, drinks and other purchases are not included unless expressly stated in the ticket description.

Tickets are non-refundable if you change your mind, are unable to attend, arrive too late, or are reasonably refused entry or removed for a serious breach of these terms, except where you have a legal right to a refund.

Tickets may only be resold through Tixel, the event’s authorised resale platform. The availability and operation of resale through Tixel are subject to the organiser’s discretion. The organiser does not guarantee that resale will be enabled or that a ticket listed for resale will be purchased.

Tickets resold or transferred through an unauthorised platform or method may be cancelled or refused entry where reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, unlawful resale or breaches of these terms.

It is your responsibility to provide a valid email address when booking, check your inbox and junk folder for event information, and contact hello@detourdisco.com if you have not received your ticket.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.

3. Transport and accommodation

Guests are responsible for arranging and paying for their own transport to and from Shelter Hall, including their journey home after the event finishes at 2am. Transport and accommodation are not included in the ticket price.

Public transport, taxi availability, road access and parking may be limited or operate differently over New Year. You should check arrangements directly with the relevant providers and plan your journey in advance. Do not assume that normal services will operate or that taxis will be available when the event ends.

If the event takes place substantially as advertised, difficulty travelling to or from the venue, transport cancellations or delays, missed connections, parking difficulties or an inability to arrange accommodation will not, in themselves, entitle you to a ticket refund.

The organiser does not guarantee the availability or operation of any third-party transport or accommodation service.

4. Changes to the event

The organiser may make reasonable changes to the timings, DJs, performers, programme, layout or format where operational, safety, licensing or other circumstances make this necessary.

Minor changes will not automatically entitle ticket holders to a refund, provided the event remains substantially as advertised.

If the event is rescheduled, moved to another venue or otherwise changed so significantly that it is materially different from what was purchased, ticket holders will be informed and offered any refund or other remedy required by applicable consumer law.

5. Entry and conduct

This is an 18+ event. Valid photographic ID may be required, and anyone unable to provide acceptable proof of age may be refused entry without a refund.

Entry is subject to licensing conditions and reasonable security requirements. Security searches may be conducted as a condition of entry.

Illegal substances, weapons and dangerous items are prohibited. Guests must not bring their own food or drinks, except where agreed in advance for medical or accessibility reasons.

The venue and organiser may reasonably refuse entry or remove anyone who appears excessively intoxicated, behaves abusively or dangerously, harasses or discriminates against others, or presents a risk to safety.

Re-entry is not guaranteed and is at the venue’s discretion.

Guests must follow reasonable instructions given by venue, security and event staff, leave quietly and respect the venue’s neighbours.

6. Dress and costumes

Guests are encouraged to embrace the event’s NYC 1979 disco theme.

Clothing, costumes and props must not present a safety risk. Props capable of being mistaken for genuine weapons are prohibited.

The organiser and venue may require the removal or alteration of items reasonably considered dangerous, threatening, discriminatory or seriously offensive.

7. Food and drinks

Food and drinks will be available to purchase separately unless expressly included in your ticket.

Food traders, menus and serving times may vary. Food service will finish before the event ends; guests should check the published serving times and arrive in time if they wish to eat.

Guests with allergies or dietary requirements must speak directly to the relevant trader or bar team before ordering.

Alcohol will only be served to guests aged 18 or over. Bar staff may request identification and refuse service in accordance with licensing requirements.

8. Health, safety and accessibility

The event will include loud music, reduced lighting, flashing or moving lights and potentially crowded conditions. Seating is not guaranteed unless expressly included in your booking.

Prolonged exposure to loud music can damage hearing. Guests should take appropriate breaks and use hearing protection where necessary.

Guests must take reasonable care of themselves and others. Climbing on furniture, railings or parts of the venue not intended for public use is prohibited.

The venue is on the seafront. Guests should take care when arriving and departing, particularly during wet, windy or icy conditions.

Anyone with accessibility requirements or questions about the event’s suitability should contact hello@detourdisco.com. We encourage you to contact us before booking so that we can discuss your requirements and any reasonable adjustments.

9. Photography and filming

Photography and filming may take place during the event.

You may appear incidentally in photographs or footage used to document and promote Detour Discotheque, Shelter Hall and their events, in accordance with applicable data protection law and relevant privacy notices.

If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed, please tell a member of the event team. We will take reasonable steps to accommodate your request.

Professional photography or filming equipment is not permitted without prior written approval.

10. Personal belongings and liability

Personal belongings remain your responsibility. The organiser and venue are not responsible for loss, theft or damage unless caused by their negligence, breach of contract or another liability for which they are legally responsible.

The organiser is not responsible for failures by independently booked transport or accommodation providers. We recommend checking their cancellation terms before booking.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

11. Cancellation

If the event is cancelled in its entirety and does not take place, ticket holders will be entitled to a refund of the ticket price and any mandatory booking fee charged by the organiser.

Refunds will normally be made to the original payment method. Ticket holders will be contacted using the email address supplied when booking.

Travel, accommodation and other associated expenses are booked at your own risk and will not normally be reimbursed following cancellation. This does not exclude any compensation or other remedy to which you are entitled by law.

If the event is postponed or materially changed, ticket holders will be informed of the available options, including any applicable refund rights.

12. General

The terms provided when you purchase your ticket apply to your booking. Reasonable updates may be made where necessary for legal, safety or licensing reasons. Material changes will be communicated to affected ticket holders and will not remove their statutory rights.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without affecting any mandatory consumer protections or rights to bring proceedings in your home jurisdiction.
