Watch a Play
Brighton has six theatres, with the jewel in the crown being the Theatre Royal, a grade II listed building located on New Road. Opening in 1807, the Theatre Royal has 400 seats with many renowned actors performing there. These include; Rowan Atkinson, Patrick Stewart and Dawn French.
Productions are on offer all year round, with prices starting from just £13 each! Besides plays, you can also watch concerts by big stars such as The Drifters, Max Fosh and Meatloaf.
Visit the Casino
Brighton is stacked with first-class casinos to play at, where you can enjoy a diverse number of games from slots to roulette and blackjack. The biggest is the Grovesnor on the seafront, but you can also play at the Genting and the Admiral.
You’re able to deposit and withdraw with cash and debit cards, but you will not get a bonus like you will online. Also, other payment methods such as cryptocurrencies and e-wallets are not accepted.
This is why players prefer playing online, with bonuses offered and a wider range of payment options, from evouchers to Pay by Phone Bill Casino sites. With the latter, you can wager on your favourite games and pay at the end of the month on your mobile phone bill.
Go to the Amex Stadium
If the Brighton and Hove Albion football team are playing, why not take a trip to the Amex? It’s located on the outskirts of the city and is home to the Seagulls, a Premier League side.
Tickets are available online or at the door, where you can get a regular seat on the terraces or upgrade to a box. If you choose to watch the match in a box, you will enjoy a three-course dinner, have access to the bar and even meet some of the first team players after the match!
Besides football matches, other events happen at the Amex Stadium. Conferences are hosted there as well as concerts. For instance, Rod Stewart and Park and Ride have both recently performed.
Enjoy a Meal
If you are a foodie, then you’re in for a treat in Brighton! All international cuisines are on offer from Japanese, Indian and Chinese to Italian, French and Greek.
Our pick is the Chilli Pickle, which is always ranked as one of the 10 best Indian restaurants in Brighton, and the surrounding area. You can chow down on many different spiced curries ranging from a korma up to a vindaloo, as well as enjoy sides, bread, sundries and rice.
Yet, if you are craving British food, there are many options on all budgets. For a cheap pub meal, you can try The Crickers, an elegant Victorian pub.

Have a Drink
Brighton is famous for its pub and bar scene, with over 340 to choose from. Whether you want a quiet pint in a traditional UK pub or want to dance, everything is on offer!
The main areas to go for a drink with your friends or partner are near the train station, St James’ Street and The Lanes. Also, if you are looking to party in the early hours, the club scene is located in The Lanes, just next to the seafront.
As Brighton is a student town, home to two universities, expect the clubs to be lively. During the week, you’ll find big discounts, but be prepared to pay more for entrance and drinks at the weekend. The best clubs in Brighton include; PRZYM, Revolution and Casablanca.
Go for a walk on Brighton Pier
The Brighton Palace Pier is easily one of the best in the UK, being over 1700ft long and is even listed as a grade 2 listed building. On the pier, there are fairground rides including rollercoasters as well as stalls and food trucks to get something to eat. Summertime is the best time to visit.
You can also visit one of the many arcades on the Brighton Palace Pier, where you can play tons of games from pool and air hockey to slots and bowling.
The Victorian charm remains intact, and you’re even able to enjoy a meal at many of the restaurants located on the pier. Our favourites are; Palm Court Restaurant and Horatios Bar.
