Character and colour in one of the UK’s best seaside destinations
Brighton and Hove has a justifiable reputation for being one of the UK’s best seaside destinations. The city is full of character and colour, not to mention a thriving music and arts scene that’s just waiting to welcome our band and choir tour groups.
Alongside classic attractions like the Royal Pavilion with its iconic domes and minarets, Brighton Palace Pier and the famous Lanes shopping area, you can take a ride on world’s oldest working electric railway, enjoy a flight on British Airways i360 for spectacular panoramic views or just take a stroll along the beach and enjoy Fish and Chips at Harry Ramsden’s.
Why not visit the pretty quirky town of Lewes while you’re here? Or visit some lovely national trust gardens and houses?
From churches, gardens, bandstands, chapels, cathedrals, and arts centres, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to performing venues, both indoor and outdoor.
