In Inspiration

Dive into Autumn and celebrate the changing season by embracing a new skill or enjoying an experience in Brighton.

Get out into the stunning Sussex countryside to explore all autumn has to offer in and around the city.  

Sip something Sparkling at a Sussex Vineyard

Use Brighton as your base to explore the stunning Sussex countryside and visit the South Downs National Park which offers perfect conditions for producing award-winning wines. Autumn means harvest time, no better time to sample a glass or two whilst you look out at the beautiful countryside views. Plus if you don’t want anyone to miss out, catch a Shuttle & Vine bus there and back, so everyone can have fizz and fun!

Immerse yourself in wellness at the Sea Lanes 

If you are not brave enough to plunge into the sea (And we don't blame you!) try Sea Lanes, Brighton’s outdoor swimming hub, offering invigorating sea-view swims even in cooler months, plus the pool is heated to 19 degrees so you get all the thrills without the chills! Follow it up with a sauna session and a nourishing brunch at one of the beachfront cafés. It’s a refreshing way to embrace the season and boost your wellbeing.

Culture with a Kick: Explore Brighton’s Creative Scene 

Brighton’s cultural calendar is buzzing. Enjoy headliner comedy at Brighton Dome’s Comedy Festival, explore edgy exhibitions at Kellie Miller Arts, or dive into spoken word nights and indie bookshops. Brighton offers a city break with soul, perfect for curious minds and creative spirits.

Step out of your Comfort Zone 

Push yourself further with a Brighton i360 Sky Walk, the chance to step outside the pod for an open-air walk 138 metres above the city. Learn a new skill with Brighton Marina Watersports, see the city from another side and powerboat around the marina or learn a new skill at Pinot & Picasso, where you can arty while you party!
