Blue Monday

Monday 21st January 2019 has been labelled Blue Monday as 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...

• Pop into Photomatic and take a few silly photos. There are plenty of accessories to help you get creative!
• Take a stroll along Brighton Palace Pier and treat yourself to a stick of Brighton Rock; candyfloss; fish 'n' chips or a bag of doughnuts.
• Relive your childhood in the Wizard’s Attic at Hove Museum or at the Brighton Toy & Model Museum.
• Hop on a bus and explore the South Downs Countryside with stunning views at sites including Devil’s Dyke, the Seven Sisters and The Chattri memorial.
• Visit Brighton Museum & Art Gallery to see Salvador Dali’s famous sofa inspired by Mae West’s lips.
• Visit one of the city’s parks and green spaces such as Stanmer Park, The Level or Preston Park Rockery.
• Get a local’s view of the city with a free Greet.
• GLOBALLS at Brighton Marina makes crazy golf even crazier with glowing neon Dinosaurs & animals.
• Explore the Lanes & North Laine for some window shopping or even grab a bargain in the January sales.
• From Brighton Marina join the Undercliff Walk to Saltdean for dramatic views of the coastline.
• See Birds, Bones & Butterflies at the Booth Museum.
• Take time out for a moment of calm and be creative at the Painting Pottery Café.
• Take a walk along the music tunnel to see depictions of the music legends who have been linked to the city.
• Treat yourself to a delicious meal – it’s a Monday night in January so most restaurants will have special offers on.
