Blue Monday
The third Monday in January is known as Blue Monday because it is apparently the most depressing day of the year.
This is based on the fact that by this point most people have given up on their resolutions, it’s still a couple of weeks until payday, Christmas memories are fading and the days are dark & cold.
But we say forget all of that and 'Brighton' yourself up with a day by the seaside! There are plenty of things to do to get you smiling that are either completely free or don’t cost too much. So grab your hat & scarf and have some fun...
Stroll along the Brighton Palace Pier
