ABOUT BRIGHTON

Visit the Royal Pavilion, seaside fantasy palace of King George IV, built by John Nash, which combines an Indian mogul exterior with an exotic Chinese interior. Or take a look at the lifestyle of Edwardian gentry at Preston Manor with its collections of furniture, paintings and porcelain upstairs, and the simpler surroundings of the servants’ quarters below stairs.

Stroll along the vibrant Beachfront with its Artists’ and Fishing Quarters, trendy bars and clubs. Enjoy traditional seaside fun against the backdrop of Brighton’s Regency architecture, the Brighton Pier and Sea Life Centre. Shop for antiques and designer goods in the 17th century Lanes, or browse for bargains in the bohemian North Laine. Check out the big-name stores in the Churchill Square shopping complex or go discount shopping among the millionaire yachts at the Marina.

Add to that great nightlife, a lively arts scene, plenty of places to stay, over 400 restaurants, a non-stop programme of special events, and you have a truly unique destination. Brighton & Hove is not only a stylish seaside city, but a great base for exploring the beautiful Sussex countryside.

Historic houses, glorious gardens and picturesque little villages are all just a short drive away. Only 49 minutes by train from London and easily accessible from the M25 and M23 motorways, Brighton really is the perfect city break by the sea.
