About us

The Basement is a multi-use, unique and atmospheric space at The Argus Lofts in Brighton’s North Laines. The space is ideal for devising, producing and showcasing experimental theatre, Live Art and performance. It is also the perfect backdrop for exhibitions seeking the opposite of a white wall gallery space. Its underground location makes it ideal for focused seminars, workshops and meetings, with a difference. With exposed brickwork and iron beams, The Basement is a blank canvas with an edgy industrial feel. Created in September 2003 through a Percentage for Art scheme from Brighton & Hove City Council and the developer of The Argus Lofts, it was later refurbished and extended in spring 2007.

Your VIP Pass Experiences
Your VIP Pass Experiences
Multi-city
In 1992, New York Offstage began, when founder, Bev Sambrotto, left her role as Assistant Director of Visitor Services at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Her tenure at Lincoln Center gave her invaluable experience as a producer of refined cultural events. This experience included talent recruitment and coordination with world-class talent from Lincoln Center’s companies, cutting edge event planning and production for Fortune 500 corporations, and creative, interactive program content for patrons, and international travel and luxury group clients. New York Offstage flourished as the industry leader in these immersive, behind-the-scenes experiences showcasing New York’s cultural world. As the company grew it was evident that its services and business model could be copied in other leading cultural destinations and in 2007 the brand was renamed The Offstage Group. Until 2012 The Offstage Group served groups of all sizes. The company had weathered several economic downturns and as a safeguard changed its business model to include memorable experiences for individual travelers. Your VIP Pass was born!
