Fatboy Slim Comes to The Brighton Box Gallery

On Wednesday 22nd July 2026, from 5pm – 9pm, Brighton’s beloved independent shopping destination plays host to a very special evening, a signing event with none other than Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim, at The Brighton Box Gallery.

The event celebrates a collaboration between Fatboy Slim, Pepita Coffee, and Brighton-based artist Emily Bowyer, marking the release of three limited-edition Pepita Coffee tins featuring Emily’s original artwork. It’s the kind of event that could only happen on Dukes Lane, in a city rooted in local creativity.

There are only 100 limited-edition prints available across five different designs, so pre-ordering is highly recommended. Items bought online at www.thebrightonbox.com can be collected and signed on the night.

And The Brighton Box Gallery won’t be the only reason to stick around the rest of Dukes Lane will be staying open until the end of the event, so make an evening of it.
