About
Running every Thursday and Friday afternoon
Location: The meeting point is the entrance to Brighton Palace Pier - arrive at 1.50pm for a 2pm start. I will be standing under the clock at the entrance gates of Brighton Palace Pier and wearing a purple beret hat so you can find me! We finish further up the seafront by the i360, Lower Kings Road, Brighton, BN1 2LN around 4pm.
About the tour: Learn about the story of the Pavilion, Brighton's piers, the bombing of the Grand Hotel, the 1964 battle of the Mods and Rockers and more. From opulent Brighton in the regency period of George IV to a creepy Victorian whodunit you'll travel through the most evocative historical periods of Brighton. Free tours do not have a set price, instead, at the end you tip the amount you consider appropriate.
What to bring: We will be walking about a mile and a half so please wear comfy shoes and bring water as well as warm clothes/suncream/hats/rainwear as appropriate. Don't forget some cash to tip at the end!
Accessibilty: If you think you may need a slower walking pace, or to sit down regularly on the tour please let me know so I can make sure things are accessible for you.
Come along if you would like to hear interesting stories rather than just dates and names - I'm passionate about sharing Brighton's fascinating past, so can answer any questions about topics that particularly interest you.
