Brighton zombie walk 2011

Beach Of The Dead

On Saturday the 22nd of October Brighton will be covered in blood and walking zombies. A Zombie Walk procession starts at 15:00 on Victoria Gradens – next to Royal Pavilion, Grand Parade and finishes with after party in Concorde 2 on Madeira Drive. Approximately walk time is 2 hours.

Parade is also called Beach Of The Dead. This parade is free, but after party in Concorde 2 is ticketed and restricted to 14+. Tickets will cost around £3/£4. This zombie walk is funded and organized by Katie Amer. It was unleashed in 2007 with more and more zombies coming every year. It is funny but really scary as zombies look really realistically. As they are going through the city they are scaring people to death.
