There’s amusement park rides, food stall, dames, penny arcade, restaurants, bars, and more! Sounds like paradise, right? Brighton Pier is one of the best places in the city and is high-key amazing when you have a coupla hours to kill, and you can have a world of fun without breaking the bank. A £1 will get you 50 tries at the penny arcade, and you can get the all-day ride pass to have endless fun and unlimited access to all the rides.
#2 Shop till you drop at North Laine
Shop, shop, shop...everybody! Hit the streets of North Laine the next time you want some retail therapy, or need a glow up. Your bank account might not love it, but your soul certainly would. North Laine is a captivating maze of retro and vintage clothes stores, kink-knack shops, trendy cafes, hip restaurants, and bars. Watch for some of the kooky looking unusual shops, with a little digging you can find some hidden gems for a bargain.
#3 Have a cinematic day out at The Royal Pavilion
The pavilion is one of the most iconic and spectacular buildings in the UK and has become a landmark for Brighton. The stunning architecture and the beautiful gardens are worth a visit for sure! The gardens are free and open all year round and hold events every so often. It is the perfect place to chill with friends, relaxing in the picturesque greenery while listening to buskers. Plus, there is a pop-up outdoor ice-rink that opens up in the winter, which is a must-do experience.
#4 Work on a dat tan at Brighton Beach
The warmth of the sun, the gleaming sea and the vibrant atmosphere at Brighton Beach is just such a mood. It might not be the typical sand beach, but it is iconic and well-loved nonetheless. There are a ton of activities and things to explore: volleyball, mini-golf, the Sea Life Centre, the Brighton Eye, the British Airways i360, a bunch of bars and restaurants looking out towards the majestic sea, or you can take a walk or cycle along the seafront towards Hove.
# A night out with some bomb beats
Brighton has a pretty lit nightlife and live music scene, with some odd and hip venues as well, like the Green Door Store, situated underneath the station, Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar, and more. Pryzm is a must-visit for students. (FYI, Wednesday is student night). Don’t forget to check out The Haunt, The Prince Albert, and Hand in Hand!
