About Brighton
- Great for days out - Brighton is called the ‘City by the Sea’ for good reason. You can tell you’re at the seaside from the moment you arrive, from the salty air and the seagulls wheeling overhead to the barrage of feel-good cafés and bars that line the sloping streets. If you want to experience classical music or clubbing, comedy or candyfloss, rollercoaster rides or regal architecture – Brighton has everything to offer. No wonder almost eight million people flock to Brighton every year.
Shopping - From the lifestyle shops of The Lanes to the designer bargains of Brighton Marina; from the retro chic of the North Laine to the big-name stores of Churchill Square, Brighton really is a shoppers' paradise. Whether you want to soak up the sun with some summer shopping, take the chill out of winter with a heaven sent shopping spree Brighton style or simply put the creative into your Christmas shopping, the city offers retail therapy at any time of the year.
Things to do, days out and Tourst Information - From the stunning heritage of the Royal Pavilion, Regency architecture and Victorian aquariums to the traditional seaside fun of the famous Brighton Pier and pebble beach, Brighton offers something for everyone. Every night is show night as the city's music venues, concert halls, cabaret bars, theatres and comedy clubs burst into action.
