A long weekend in Brighton

Colourful Brighton is a cultural cornucopia of creativity, with more than its fair share of festivals, museums, galleries and legendary nightlight.

Start at Brighton’s ode to hedonism, the Royal Pavilion. Once George IV’s regal bachelor pad, this exotic palace’s audio tour will have you gasping and gawping from beginning to end. 

Next, buckle up for old-school thrills on the waltzers and looping rollercoasters towering over the glittering Brighton Pier. Best save the fish and chips on the beach until afterwards, then head out to the clubs, theatres, and bars that help make Brighton one of the most cultural cities in Europe.

Finish your weekend browsing the jewellers, vintage shops and boutiques of The Lanes and sipping cocktails the chic bars.
