As the largest marina in the United Kingdom, Brighton Marina has a lot to offer year-round. While picturesque in the summertime, with boats floating in the sunshine, Brighton Marina transforms into a Southern winter wonderland during the Christmas holidays. However, the holidays can be as stressful as they are relaxing, and even though you want to plan to see everything, seeing all the options can get overwhelming. Fortunately, we have compiled a list of the best things you can do at Brighton Marina this Christmas.
Brighton Marina at Christmas
1) Meet Santa and Mrs Claus
Find out if you’ve been good or bad this year at Brighton Marina, where you can meet Santa and Mrs. Claus in an immersive experience that takes you to the North Pole. Located right next to Cafe Havana on the Boardwalk, this immersive experience will take you into the Claus home, where you will meet everyone’s favourite couple in their kitchen, dining and living room, and Santa’s famous study.
2) Switch Up Your Christmas Dinner
Everyone knows Christmas is about celebrating your traditions. However, every tradition starts with someone branching out, breaking the mold, and doing something new, so why not try Christmas dinner at one of the many restaurants at Brighton Marina? You’re not shy of options, either: everywhere from Nando’s to TGI Fridays are offering a special Christmas holiday menu.
3) Take In The Views
With all that being said, Christmas is also supposed to be a time of reflection and sometimes the best thing to do during this time of year is to just look and appreciate. If you’re someone who wants to admire the Christmas trees and lights reflecting on the water at Brighton Marina rather than push through a crowd of people, there are plenty of places located on the seafront. That includes Rendezvous Brighton Casino, which has a Waterside restaurant and bar. There is also a poker room if you’re someone who likes playing games at Christmas. After all, both casino games and Christmas games are staples in the United Kingdom, as demonstrated by popular UK casino online platforms offering gamification incentives like welcome bonuses and daily rewards for logging in throughout the festive season, and The Foundation Head in Brighton offering a Christmas quiz night.
4) Celebrate With Your Co-Workers
While Christmas is about spending time with your family, it’s also a time to bond and celebrate the year’s achievements with your co-workers. And what better place to do that than at Brighton Marina and the Hollywood Bowl? In fact, the Hollywood Bowl is even offering a Christmas package, which includes two games of bowling, a main meal, Santa hats on arrival, and a Winner’s trophy.
Everyone in Brighton is fortunate to live somewhere that can transform itself depending on the season, and Christmas is an extraordinary time in the city. While Brighton Marina offers a lot of traditional things to do, such as visiting Santa and Mrs Claus, there are also unique experiences, including having Christmas dinner at Nandos or admiring the lights from Rendezvous Brighton Casino’s waterfront restaurant.
