Simon Cowell named patron of Design Brighton
Simon Cowell has been appointed as Founding Patron of Design Brighton Festival 2020, a festival aiming to celebrate urban design and play a positive part in the rejuvenation of the region.
It may sound rather different to life on the BGT or X Factor set but, in fact, property is close to the Cowell family’s heart, and they hail from the Sussex village of Ovingdean, part of the city of Brighton & Hove.
