Seafront location

Brighton seafront hosts a new immersive gallery experience this spring as the Moments of Kalmfulness exhibition comes to the city.

Running until May 17 at 54 Kings Road (next to the i360 and Upside Down House), the free pop-up invites residents and visitors to pause, reflect and reconnect with a sense of calm.

Spokeswoman Darcey Moore said: “Kalms Herbal Remedies, a leading emotional wellbeing brand, created the exhibition in response to research showing that 42% of UK adults struggle to find moments of calm in daily life. Originally developed as a digital sanctuary, the Moments of Kalmfulness gallery has now been brought to life as a physical experience on Brighton’s iconic seafront.

“Previously named the UK’s most kalmful city, Brighton is a natural home for a tranquil immersive gallery, with residents embracing nature (55%), self-care (66%), and mental health support (61%).

“The exhibition explores the concept of kalmfulness – a state of feeling peaceful and balanced amid everyday life – and encourages people to embrace small, achievable ways to reduce stress.

“Kalmfulness can be found in simple, everyday moments – from taking a few deep breaths to spending time outdoors or connecting with loved ones. This idea sits at the heart of the Moments of Kalmfulness gallery, which brings these everyday moments to life through calming imagery designed to help visitors pause and reset.

“The concept is supported by research showing the impact of visual calm. While 65% of UK adults say time outdoors helps them feel more relaxed, over half (52%) say that even viewing images of nature or tranquil scenes can help them feel more at ease.

“Inspired by these insights, the gallery features a curated collection of calming imagery from local creatives, members of the Brighton and Hove Camera Club (BHCC), as well as the general public.”

President of the BHCC John Owen said: “BHCC is nearly the largest camera club in the UK and our members’ skills cover a wide range of photographic genres. We proudly support the moments of Kalmfulness exhibition, which uses photography to nurture emotional wellbeing and create a space for reflection. We hope that our photographic diversity will help people to slow down, reconnect and enable the gallery to support each visitor's unique journey towards finding balance.”

Darcey added: “The Moments of Kalmfulness gallery forms part of Kalms Herbal Remedies’ wider mission to support emotional wellbeing through simple, accessible ways to find calm in everyday life. By transforming its digital gallery into a physical experience, the brand aims to make these moments of pause more tangible and widely accessible.

“Kalms has over 50 years of heritage in providing traditional herbal remedies for stress, mild anxiety and sleeplessness, supporting people’s wellbeing through naturally inspired solutions.”
