The Kemp Town Society (KTS) is the charitable society formed to conserve the unique Grade 1 listed Kemp Town Estate on Brighton's eastern seafront. It provides a free information service, accessed through this website.

For members, we provide personalised responses on a variety of subjects. Please confirm you are a member when submitting a specific enquiry relating to the Kemp Town Estate.

If you are not yet a member, we welcome you to join. The minimum annual donation is only £10 per resident household. We encourage members to participate in the Society to strengthen its voice and to take advantage of the multiple talents which are found among the residents themselves.

Why Become a Member

Membership of the Society helps ensure you will be first to hear news of developments and proposals affecting the estate and its surroundings. The Society is committed to building strong, positive links with the Council, developers and other heritage organisations to make sure that the collective voice of its members is heard. Annual membership costs from £10 per household.

Conservation

The Society is dedicated to protecting and promoting Thomas Read Kemp's wonderful and unique seaside estate. The Committee monitors all local planning issues and applications and has a representative on the Council's Conservation Advisory Group which makes planning recommendations to the Council.

Events

The Society holds social and cultural events throughout the year to build a strong and active community. Members have free entry to the annual summer garden party and have first chance to buy tickets to all other events.
