    Highly recommend a visit and use the audio guide, really get to feel how it must have been, awesome rooms, one of the highlights of our trip to Brighton. Husband in a wheelchair so sadly could only visit ground floor, but still very worthwhile.

    Great place to visit, lots of independent shops selling all manner of things you won’t find elsewhere. Also lots of coffee shops, bars and eateries. Well worth a visit for a browse.

    Visited on a solo trip to Brighton. I really enjoyed myself on the pier. Even though it was super windy the pier was still open. Even for out of season the 2p machines were full and I only spent £3 and won 4 keyrings and a shot glass. It wasn’t too busy which was nice but still had an atmosphere. Shame some of the shops and rides were shut but understand it is out of season. Will definitely visit again.

    Great views of Brighton. Quite expensive for the experience as it doesn’t last very long. Expensive bar inside the pod.

    Lovely walk along the beach. There are pebbles and stones, no sand. Nice and clean. Some shops along the actually seafront too which is nice. One of my favourite UK beaches

    Did a 20 mile hike to get here, the mountain itself is only about a mile but it is still a decent trek especially with the steepness. Once up there you get a grande view of all of Brighton and Worthing. The view is beautiful and the peaks of devils dyke look beautiful. It’s the perfect spot for a picnic or date, there’s also a pub both at the bottom of the hill and at the top so you have plenty of places to eat, we didn’t on our trek but it’s there for those who want it.

    Beneath the cliffs along the Sussex seafront there are paths to take you alongside the beach.

    Within Brighton there are different paths some on the same level as the beach and some are a bit higher.

    The ones next to the seafront are well maintained however when I visited in January 2024 one of the paths higher up the cliff was closed.

    You get some lovely views of the beach and the surrounding area including the piers and the marina.

    Don was our tour guide and he did a fabulous job! We were impressed with his vast knowledge of the team’s history and details about the stadium. We were visiting from New York, so this was an absolute treat! We took great photos on the field as well as in the stadium itself. I 100% recommend this tour! Also, the team store is huge! You can get jersey’s printed with your name and number.

    +1 wanted to go to an aquarium for her birthday. Our local one is rather small so decided to visit Brighton sealife. I’m disabled and they offer a free carer ticket (used my access card with no problem at the entrance)

    Good parts: Really lovely displays and lots of information about the animals. Staff were friendly and helpful. +1 loved the rock pool and being up close to the animals

    Not so good parts: I use a walking stick to help me walk. The floor in pretty much all of the building is so slippy that my stick kept sliding away from me. I found it hard to enjoy the sealife while worrying about falling over. There’s nowhere to sit and rest apart from in the cafe. The lovely person doing the VR experience could see I was struggling and let me sit down.

    Would I go again? Probably not

    I had a chicken dansak and Bombay aloo. It was the best I’ve had and I have one quite regularly at various takeouts. The chicken was cooked really well and not dry and the sauce was a great lentil mix of sweet and sour spices. I would recommend this place and they were super friendly.

    Our guide was excellent. He had researched a lot of the history Brighton Police and was good at answering qyuestions. Next time that you want something to do for about an hour and a half in Brighton,for a very reasonable cost, please book a tour.
