Attended two shows here - Trumpton and Al Murray - both during COVID restrictions and the venue was great and staff/volunteers went above and beyond. Both very different experiences as the first one was a nice sunny afternoon and the second one it thrashed it with rain (well done to Al Murray for carrying on :-) ) but both were good experiences 100% will be returning for other shows

Gus is a super friendly and welcoming guy, and his shop is a gem!! I'm lucky enough to live locally, so pop in regularly to browse his discounted 1st class stamps (..cheaper than the Post Office)! Even if you're just in Brighton for the day, make sure to swing by! He has stamps relating to all interests (from Bowie to Ancient Greece) and for all occasions.

Devil's Dyke National Trust

A legendary beauty spot on the South Downs Devil’s Dyke, just five miles north of Brighton, offers stunning panoramas, a record breaking valley, a curious history and England’s most colourful habitat. At nearly a mile long, the Dyke valley is the longest, deepest and widest 'dry valley' in the UK. Legend has it that the Devil dug this chasm to drown the parishioners of the Weald. On the other hand, scientists believe it was formed naturally just over 10,000 years ago in the last ice age. With a little exploring the Dyke's story starts to reveal itself: The ramparts or walls of the Iron Age hill fort can be seen when you walk around the hill and the remains of the curious Victorian funfair can be found just a few minutes from the car park. Venture into the valley and you will discover a living carpet of flowers and a myriad of colourful insects.

Mild October weather had people out and about during the week to follow three different trails, each with different levels of challenges. Devil's Dyke was a fabulous way to see the Donkey's wheel, have tea at the National Trust cafe and enjoy fabulous views of the Weald. Wellies or hiking boots best and although we had good weather, the trails are narrow and slippery in places. Some stairs in places on the challenging trail. Could have some better signage in places where trails cross but a fabulous excursion from the Brighton beach area. Dog friendly.

It is a mile walk from East Brighton Pier to the Marina where you will find shops, restaurants and bars. There is also a huge Asda there. The walk is along the coastline so you can see the sea, watch the Volks Electric Railway in action, or you can walk along the top road which also has great views.

Undercliff Walk

Reviewed By JenQatar - South Africa, null

Great walk...start at the marina ( car park of the shopping centre....at the back). There is a board explaining the cliffs history and geology at the start. The walk is wide and flat....sea on one side and cliff on the other. Easily done by all ages and accessible for wheelchairs. Cafe after about 45min walk. Walk on to Rottingdean and visit the quaint village. If u r too tired to walk back to Brighton catch the bus at the bus stop outside the white horse pub in Rottingdean.

I visited the ground for the recent Brighton v Sheffield Wednesday FA Cup game. Fans can reach the ground via Falmer station, which is beside the venue and the club even offer free local transport for ticket holders. The stadium itself is probably the best medium sized ground I have visited, with padded seats, perfect views and a great atmosphere.
