Brighton City Highlights

About

Wander through hidden lanes, vibrant art districts and secret corners of Brighton before ending with a relaxed locally sourced meal.

This experience is part of City Uncovered: Brighton, taking place from 1st–14th June 2026 — a limited-time series of unique, under-the-radar experiences designed to help you see the city differently.

Led by a local guide, this immersive walking tour takes you beyond Brighton’s postcard landmarks and into the neighbourhoods where the city’s creative spirit truly comes to life.

Your journey begins in New England — one of Brighton’s lesser-known but most characterful districts — where colourful street art, independent galleries and Victorian architecture sit side-by-side with quirky cafés and artisan makers. From there, you’ll weave through the cobbled streets of North Laine, uncovering hidden murals, independent boutiques and the alternative culture that gives Brighton its unmistakable identity.

As the pace slows, you’ll step into the calm of Pavilion Gardens, where the striking domes of the Royal Pavilion rise unexpectedly above peaceful greenery in the heart of the city. Along the way, your guide will share stories of Brighton’s creative communities, royal past and ever-evolving cultural scene.

The tour continues into The Lanes — a maze of historic alleyways filled with antique shops, local craftspeople and tucked-away cafés — before finishing with a relaxed light meal featuring locally sourced dishes, giving you time to unwind and soak up the atmosphere of the city.
