Build your programming skills with one-to-one support at this free Codebar workshop in Brighton on 27 October 2026. Designed for beginner and intermediate learners, this in-person session offers a safe, supportive place to learn at your own pace. Rather than following a single class-wide lesson, you can work on your own course or coding project with guidance from a volunteer coach. Codebar aims to match each student with the right coach for one-to-one help, subject to availability, so you can focus on the problems and skills most relevant to you. What to expect The evening combines informal social time with focused, hands-on coding: - 6:30pm: Arrive, meet the group and share pizza - 7pm–9pm: Work on your course or project with coaching support - After 9pm: An optional pub visit for anyone who would like to continue the conversation This is a practical workshop rather than a programme of talks. Bring something you want to learn, practise or build, and use the coding session to make progress in a welcoming environment. The individual format gives newer programmers space to ask questions without having to keep pace with a large class, while intermediate learners can bring more specific challenges or projects. The event also welcomes volunteer coaches. If you have programming knowledge and experience to share, you can attend to support students, answer questions and help someone work through their course or project. It is an opportunity to contribute to Brighton’s coding community while developing your own mentoring skills. Venue and food The workshop runs from 6:30pm to 9pm on Tuesday 27 October 2026 at dabapps, Nile House, Nile Street, Brighton, BN1 1HW. Pizza is provided at the start of the evening, with vegetarian and vegan options.
