The jewel of the South Coast, Brighton boasts high levels of hot, sunny weather throughout the year.
Brighton, along with nearby Hove is the home of Brighton & Hove Albion (also known as the ‘Seagulls’), who play at the Amex Stadium in Falmer, which is also the base for one of the Brighton University campuses. Brighton is the only city in East Sussex and bigger by far than any other towns in the area, with around 277,000 population. On the South Downs Way, Brighton is surrounded by Countryside, but its seafront was the favourite bathing spot of Royalty in the early 1900s, where its famous Pavilion was built and it has a long prom with an amazing array of pubs, bars and food on offer.
Like most cosmopolitan cities, Brighton never really closes and has many fine dining and popular places to eat. It also has its own City Council (www.brighton-hove.gov.uk). Brighton is famous for pioneering gay rights in the UK and hosts its annual Gay Rights Festival, Pride, every year, along with other big and colourful events. Home to Concorde 2 and the Brighton Centre, in Brighton, you can see the best music and entertainment on offer anywhere in the UK.
