About Brighton

Brighton is the UK's classic seaside-meets-bohemian city, a pebble beach and Victorian pier backed by the maze-like Lanes' vintage shops and independent cafes. It's widely regarded as Britain's LGBTQ+ capital, with a Pride festival that shuts down the seafront every August, and a Brighton Festival each May that fills the city with arts events. Under an hour from London by train, it's the classic weekend escape rather than a long-haul destination.
