Hi Tom,
I'm already in talks with some people at the Skiff discussing us using it :) Glad you know about it as well!
Designer wise, I don't see why not? I'm sure there are plenty of design related bugs out there and other things they can do...

I don't know if Brighton has a Linux User Group? But they might be interested (and also may have suggestions for venues and other helpful stuff). The only really important thing in a venue is the WiFi ;) As to advertising; post on the Bot Owners Noticeboard.
What Brighton does have: BarCamp!
I'll be there and will be happy to talk Wikimedia stuff to anyone who will listen: might be an idea to try and get people from the BarCamp community to come along, as well as the many open source communities in Brighton:
- BrightonPy - http://brightonpy.org/
- Async - http://asyncjs.com/
- Brighton Ruby User Group - http://www.brighton-ruby.org.uk/
- Brighton Girl Geek Dinners
- UX Brighton (because Wikimedia could do with some UX people to tell
us how to suck less)
etc. etc.
I've tweeted about it as I know a lot of designers and developer types in Brighton who might be interested - I'm presuming we are going to let designers turn up and give us their wisdom? ;-)
I'll contact The Skiff, a coworking place in Brighton that a friend of mine runs to see if he's interested in letting us use some space there. They have hosted BarCamp for 100+ people, but have nice small rooms and office space for hacking.
