Latest reviews | Events in Brighton | 10 Places to Stay

A sparkling mix of sea and city, Brighton & Hove is perfect for a short break at any time of year.
Don't miss the Royal Pavilion, King George IV's seaside fantasy palace of Indian domes and oriental interiors. Stroll along the Beachfront with its lively cafés and bars, artists' studios and traditional seaside fun on Brighton Pier. Explore the 17th century Lanes, a maze of smart shops selling antiques, jewellery and designer clothes, and the bohemian North Laine, full of unusual and eccentric shops selling everything from bonsai trees to bongos. Find all your favourite high street names under one roof in Churchill Square shopping mall or discover the designer discount outlets at Brighton Marina.
The arts play a major part in city life especially in May when the Brighton Festival brings over 700 arts events in just 3 weeks. You can see pre and post-West End shows at the Theatre Royal, classical concerts at the Brighton Dome and pop stars at the Brighton Centre. The city's museums are treasure houses of inspiring objects from all eras and cultures. Brighton Museum has undergone a £10 million development and has dynamic new galleries appealing to all ages.
Discover Brighton's origins at the Fishing Museum and its development at the 1820's Regency Town House, while a visit to Preston Manor gives a glimpse into the lives of an Edwardian family and their servants.
Brighton's nightlife is relaxed and fun-fuelled, with stylish bars, traditional pubs and over 400 restaurants serving worldwide cuisine. There's live music nearly every night of the week and the club scene is legendary. And there's always something happening on the seafront and in the streets - classic car rallies and cycle races, fun runs and French markets, parties and processions.
