“Have a good flight!” enthused the smartly-attired stewardess, as she ushered us through security and into the departure lounge. But instead of flying off to some far-flung corner of the globe, we were heading 450 feet into the crisp air for a spectacular bird’s eye view of Brighton and beyond! Welcome to British Airways i360, [...]
If, like us, you’re fans of Raymond Briggs’ wonderful festive story, The Snowman, then make sure you head to Brighton Museum & Art Gallery before 6th January for a stunning exhibition celebrating this magical tale. It’s 40 years since the original story of The Snowman was published. Since then, of course, it’s been turned into [...]
Situated in the historic Lanes region of Brighton, Terre à Terre has become one of the city’s iconic vegetarian and vegan restaurants. Since opening in 1993, it’s established an enviable reputation and is sought out by locals and tourists alike. When I visited with my wife and two children, it wasn’t long before the [...]
Tucked away in a private gated courtyard, just off North Street, in the heart of Brighton’s historic Lanes district is an unpretentious Mediterranean restaurant that should be on everybody’s radar.

My family and I sampled several on a recent trip to Sussex’s city by the sea and elegant Food [...]
The YHA has hostels in some pretty decent settings and Brighton is no exception. In fact, it’s a perfect location, just across from the beach and the entrance to the city’s Grade II listed pier; and if that wasn’t enough to whet your appetite, it’s within walking distance of the main tourist attractions and [...]
Having visited Brighton only once before – and that was years ago – I enjoyed arriving with my family free of any preconceived views and opinions on what to expect or what we could achieve during our short break. Our excursion to this Sussex resort, granted city status by the Queen in 2000, was a [...]
Located on Marine Parade, across the road from Brighton Pier, Sea Life should be on everyone’s itinerary when visiting the town. One of 35 centres located around the world, Brighton’s Sea Life boasts over 1,500 creatures and captivates its visitors by taking them on a journey from the water’s edge to the ocean’s depths. It [...]
Hidden away underneath the forecourt of Brighton’s railway station is a gem of a museum which will bring memories flooding back for adults and provide a snapshot of the past for younger visitors.
