13 BEST Day Trips from Brighton, England

Looking for the best day trips from brighton from exploring ancient arundel castle to the seven sisters, check out these amazing brighton day trips..

Everyone knows and loves Brighton, right? It’s got this buzzing excitement like few other places in England. There are some incredible restaurants, you can’t help but feel like a kid again at Brighton Pier, and the views along the coast are stunning. I for one absolutely love it there, and I know I’m not the only one!

Due to its location, there are plenty of amazing day trips from Brighton that you can visit within a couple of hours’ drive from the city itself. And if you don’t have access to a car, don’t worry. There are also loads of train routes out of Brighton on a daily basis. That means you’ll be able to visit all of these places listed very easily!

So, where are you heading, that’s the question?

Whether you want to dive into history at Anne Boleyn’s old house at Hever Castle, or you want to breathe in the fresh English air in the South Downs National Park, you can easily find something to fit all interests and budgets.

I love that the wider Sussex area is filled with quaint towns, shops, pubs and excursions, but if you want something a little more fast-paced, you can get into London in about 45 minutes.

So, what amazing and inspiring activities can you expect to discover on a Brighton day trip? Let’s dive in and find out more!

Day Trips from Brighton

South downs national park.

One of the best things about being in East Sussex is that you’re only around half an hour by car away from the lush greenery of the South Downs National Park.

Whether you just fancy a slow walk around some of the more popular trails, or you’ve come prepared with a bike to work up a sweat, you’re almost guaranteed a lovely day out just a short distance from the city.

One of the walks we’d really recommend is Kingley Vale . Just wait till you see the ancient yew forest here – it’s amazing!

Arundel Castle

There is no shortage of beautiful castles in the area surrounding Brighton, but Arundel Castle is up there with the best. Town around it are picturesque and bring to mind fairytale imagery.

With almost 1,000 years of history spread throughout the castle and the accompanying gardens, this site has seen so much. Take a guided tour to fully appreciate everything that’s gone on here.

You can get here in 40 minutes by car from Brighton, or change at Barnham on the train. This really is one of the best places to visit near Brighton, so check it out!

Quaint, postcard towns are scattered across East Sussex, but the seaside town of Rye is something else entirely. Known for its cobblestone streets and independent shops and restaurants, Rye is a pleasant place to while away the day.

If you’re feeling adventurous, it’s also a popular spot for watersports such as windsurfing. Get that adrenaline pumping before finding a cosy pub to warm up in with a meal and a pint. Sounds perfect, right?

Hever Castle

Harking back to the 13th century, Hever Castle is a beautiful castle in neighbouring Kent, but it’s the residents of the castle that makes it interesting.

As the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s second wife, Hever Castle is forever tied into the bloody royal history of Tudor England.

Here you can explore the medieval and renaissance-era rooms before wandering around the expansive gardens. Honestly, you have to see them to understand how beautiful they are. For me, this is definitely one of the best day trips from Brighton!

The Seven Sisters

Do you love looking out over stunning coastal views? Then head to The Seven Sisters area. This is a series of chalk cliffs that are an iconic image of England.

From here you can see out across the English Channel towards France. One of my favourite walks here is the Beachy Head walk . This is the highest section of the cliffs, and once again the views are just magnificent.

It’s a geological marvel and has been studied for centuries. Pack a picnic and your hiking boots and explore this patch of coastal paradise. Just make sure you’re ready to have sore legs the next day!

If you’re looking for a tour from Brighton, then this one is the best around . It even includes visit the South Downs National Park too!

I love a small English town, but the best time to visit the nearby town of Lewes is on Bonfire Night. The 5th November celebrations are on a whole other level in Lewes with effigies of disliked figures being burned, huge bonfires, firework displays, parades, and more all occurring.

The rest of the year, Lewes is a pleasant and historic market town, filled with cosy and delicious pubs, a beautiful castle, and even another house belonging to one of Henry VIII’s wives – Anne of Cleves house, King Henry VIII’s fourth wife.

If you’re looking for a quirky seaside town to visit that’s only an hour away from Brighton, a day trip to Hastings might be just what you’re after. This historic town was made famous by the 1066 Battle of Hastings, where William the Conqueror became King of England.

Nowadays, you can wander the pebbled beaches, explore the independent shops, and take the cliffside funicular railway up the face of the cliff, giving you expansive views over the bay.

Afterwards, wander around the town and call into one of the many amazing restaurants and bars that litter the quaint streets.

What can be said about London that hasn’t already been said? The bustling and vibrant capital of the UK is one of the most visited places in the world, so it’s no surprise this is one of the most popular Brighton day trips.

From iconic museums to world-class restaurants to exhibitions and attractions, and more, you can visit a dozen times over and still not see and do everything.

You can get to London in just over an hour on the train from Brighton, and with the traffic and congestion charges in London, I would not recommend driving!

One of the best ways of seeing London is on a Thames River cruise . These tours are always a great way of ticking off a lot of the major sites in London like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

Wine Tasting Tours

Okay, so English wines might not be as famous as French or Italian wines, but they’re definitely coming up through the ranks and making waves. The area around East Sussex is one of the warmest and driest parts of the country, making it perfect for growing grapes.

Mostly specialising in dry white wines and sparkling wines, there are a handful of popular vineyards within an hour’s drive of Brighton. Take a tour of the premises, have a tasting, and maybe buy a bottle or two to have when you get back to your Brighton base. Just make sure to have a designated driver at the ready!

Bournemouth

As lovely as the Brighton beaches are, they are pebble beaches rather than soft golden sand. For that, you can go on a day trip to Bournemouth.

Another popular holiday spot, Bournemouth is one of the furthest day trips on this list being around two to two and a half hours away from Brighton by car in Dorset.

Located on the south coast of England, you can spread out along the seven miles of sand or wander the iconic pier and take in the sea views. If you’re looking for a quintessential family day out at the beach, this is the place to be!

Herstmonceux

Are you interested in the world of astronomy and space travel? Located a short 50-minute drive outside of the Brighton city limits you’ll find the Herstmonceux observatory . Even though it’s less than an hour away from Brighton, this part of the Sussex countryside is famous for its dark skies status.

You can take part in guided tours of the observatory, and learn about the history and science behind the site. The real magic happens when the sun goes down and you can see the stars in all their glory. If you don’t mind wrapping up warm, clear Winter days may be best as it gets dark earlier.

Devil’s Dyke

Despite the odd name, Devil’s Dyke is a hugely popular V-shaped valley within the South Downs National Park. Filled with exciting and varied hiking trails, designed to suit a range of abilities and time restraints, this area is popular with dog walkers, runners, cyclists, and more.

With a car park operated by the National Trust, you can take advantage of free parking if you’re a member. After you’ve finished wandering, head to the Devil’s Dyke pub for a refreshing pint and a well-earned pub lunch before journeying back to Brighton.

If you’re interested in naval or maritime history, there is no better palace to visit in the UK than Portsmouth. As the hub of a lot of British Naval activity throughout history, you can explore plenty of amazing sights, including the HMS Victory , an old naval ship that is docked in Portsmouth Harbour. It’s definitely an impressive place to walk around and learn about, even if you’re not a fan of boats or military history!

If you want more Tudor history, check out the restored Mary Rose that has been raised from the ocean floor after it was sunk back in the 16th century and has been painstakingly restored and displayed in Portsmouth.

You can get here in just over an hour by car and an hour and 20 minutes by train.

So, whether you’re looking for history, culture, or adventure there are so many amazing tours and day trips from Brighton to explore. Which one of these are you most looking forward to doing? You can let me know in the comments below!

I recently spent a day in Brighton and I’m raving about it. Not only is there a beach, but the city is colourful, quirky and friendly with a fantastic eating scene. It’s easy to take a day trip to Brighton from London as well as several other UK cities. I’d been to Brighton a couple of times before but not in the last few years (given my recent globe-trotting I’ve not exactly been anywhere in the UK in a couple of years). I was expecting street art , the beach and food & drink from my Brighton day trip – and that’s what I got plus a bit more! After this trip, it’s safe to say Brighton is one of my favourite places in Southern England , apart from of course Bristol , Bath and my hometown of Oxford ! If you’re looking for UK day trips , read about my day trips to Bath , Oxford , Cardiff and Liverpool. If it’s the beach you’re craving, consider a London to Margate day trip . I also have a post on the top 10 London to the Cotswolds 1 day trips .

Brighton day trip from London by train

I use Trainline for booking train tickets in the UK. You can compare prices and times throughout the day to get the best deal, plus the website shows live departure times which is helpful when travelling. Tickets from London to Brighton start at £14.50 but ones at decent times usually cost £21.50.

When taking a day trip to Brighton from London, there are several London stations you can depart from. For a direct journey of just 1 hour with no changes, your best bet is catching:

A Great Northern or Thameslink train from London Blackfriars
A Southern Railway or Gatwick Express from London Victoria
A Great Northern, Southern Railway or Thameslink train from London Bridge .

Regardless of the service, use Trainline to book tickets. Consider getting a Railcard if you’re aged 30 or under. After a few uses, you make back the cost of the card and then some.

Search London to Brighton trains .

Day trip to Brighton from London by bus

If you just have one day in Brighton, taking the train is much quicker meaning you have more time in Brighton. However if you’re short of cash, it’s worth noting that Brighton is well connected to London and other UK cities by bus. Journeys to Brighton from London cost just £5 and take 2 hours 30 minutes from London Victoria.

Search London to Brighton buses .

How to spend one day in Brighton – quick itinerary

10am: Arrive in Brighton and head for brunch (see my top picks below) 11am: Wander Brighton Pier and relax on Brighton Beach 12pm: Visit the Royal Pavilion 2pm: Browse shops on North Laine 4pm: Stroll the Promenade and spot other Brighton sights 5pm: Pass Brunswick Square and reach Hove Beach Huts 6pm: Eat dinner in Hove Finish your day out in Brighton & head back home!

How to get around during a day in Brighton

I explored Brighton on foot which is easy to do. You can see most of Brighton in a day without a car or public transport and even make it down to Hove, the other part of the city that is Brighton & Hove. Sightseeing bus: If you’re not much of a walker or prefer the novelty of exploring from the upper deck of a big red bus, book a hop-on-hop-off bus for £17. By bike: Another fun way to see Brighton (and get around a bit quicker) is a Brighton bike tour led by local guides. This will take you from Royal Pavilion to Brunswick Square (opposite ends of the city) in just 2.5 hours meaning you have more time later to relax on the beach and shop at the Lanes.

Best things to do during 1 day in Brighton day trip

Now for the good bit. Let’s run through everything to do during a Brighton day trip including visiting costs and info, plus where to eat and other Brighton travel tips. Here’s how to see Brighton in a day…

1. Begin with brunch

Depending what time you begin your Brighton day trip from London, you may wish to begin with a hearty feed. If you didn’t guess from my many food blogs, feeding myself heartily is the joy of my life! Billie’s Cafe : There are plenty of cafes in Brighton but I would highly recommend Billie’s Cafe on Hampton Place. With the blue checkered tablecloths and generous mugs of builders tea, Billie’s has an old-school vibe that you won’t find in some of the gentrified Brighton restaurants. I had salmon & avo but apparently the star dish is the farmhouse stack with potatoes, sausages, eggs, cheese and beans.

Joe’s Cafe : Another fantastic option for brunch lovers in Brighton is Joe’s. This cosy independent gets busy on a weekend but it’s well worth the queue. The best dish is Lucie’s healthy breakfast with smoked salmon, poached eggs, mushrooms and avocado.

2. Take a walking tour

Want to learn Brighton’s stories from a local? Taking a walking tour is one of my favourite ways to get orientated in a new city. This TripAdvisor award-winning Brighton story walking tour (£17) takes 90 minutes and will bring you up to speed on Brighton’s history and best neighbourhoods.

3. Tour the street art

After finding street art in Bristol , Camden and Shoreditch lately, I’m a huge fan. Set against some of the elaborate townhouses, the Brighton street art is quite the contrast. Lart, much of it tells a story. One urban mural above encourages young women to vote. If you just have one day in Brighton, this is a fun and free activity that will introduce you to Brighton’s quirky side. Mini Brighton street art tour:

Head past the train station onto Trafalgar Street where the street art begins
Turn into Trafalgar Lane (where 90% of the above photos were taken)
Walk along Gloucester Street
Connect to Gloucester Passage and Kensington Street.

More street art locations in Brighton: Seek out the Astoria building on London Road where there’s a recreation of Banksy’s Kissing Policemen. Find more art on Orange Row off North Road, and on turn-off streets from North Laine.

4. Brighton Palace Pier

It wouldn’t be a Brighton day trip without eating ice cream and checking out the arcades at Brighton Palace Pier. There are also fair rides if that’s your cup of tea but I’m a 27-year-old with less capacity for adrenaline than a toddler so I stuck to my Mr Whippy and chocolate flake! Having survived two wars, Brighton Palace Pier is a Grade 2* listed building with all the charm of yesteryear. But following some big refurbishments, it’s now firmly in the modern day with free Wi-Fi so you can ‘gram your Brighton day trip! Brighton Pier is free to visit but you can purchase a wristband if you’ll be going on the rides. Buying one online in advance saves you 25%. Wristbands are priced differently for weekdays and weekends so make sure to buy the right one.

5. Relax on Brighton beach

I’m so envious of Brighton locals for having a beach on their doorstep (even if it’s stony). If you have time towards the end of the day, return to Brighton Beach and grab yourself a couple of beers (and a blanket to sit on if possible!). This is the perfect way to end a Brighton day trip from London if you’re taking the train and don’t need to drive.

6. Try some classic English foods

What better way to enjoy the British seaside than with ice cream? If there is one, I’m yet to hear about it. A few English seaside foods to try include:

Mr Whippy ice cream and flake
Fish and chips (do not take your eyes off them for a second or an evil seagull will steal your chips!)
A stick of rock (to take home as a souvenir or gift)
Candy floss!

7. British Airways i360

Near the remains of the old West Pier is this brand-spanking-new (well, newish – it was built in 2016) addition to the seafront. While some locals were initially iffy about it, you can’t deny it’s a fantastic attraction for tourists wanting a bird’s eye view of the coast. From the glass viewing pod at the top, you can see 360-degree views of Brighton, the English Channel and South Downs. Book a British Airways i360 Ticket for £20 or upgrade to a cream tea experience !

8. The Royal Pavilion

If you’re trying to see Brighton in a day, you can’t squeeze in everything… But I’d recommend prioritising the Royal Pavilion ! This is one of the most impressive buildings in Brighton with a colourful history to boot. King George IV built the Royal Pavilion as a seaside pleasure palace, taking inspiration from India and China. Having been to India a couple of times now, I could appreciate the Indian influence. It’s sometimes called the ‘Taj Mahal of Brighton!’ Inside, there are some incredible rooms to peruse including the Banqueting Room, the Music Room, the Saloon and the Royal Bedrooms. Entrance fees: £18 for adults, £11 for children (under 18). For a free option, snap it from outside and relax in the Pavilion Gardens. Opening times: 9.30am-5.45pm (last admission at 5pm). Address: 4/5 Pavilion Buildings, Brighton, BN1 1EE.

9. Shopping in the Brighton Lanes

Right in the heart of Brighton, the Lanes are where to pick up souvenirs during 1 day in Brighton. It’s worth visiting even if you’re not much of a shopper; there are also cafes, pubs and theatres. The spirit of boho, alternative Brighton is best discovered in this part of town. There are two main areas: South Lanes: Here you’ll find lots of cafes, jewellery shops and gift shops. North Laine: My personal favourite! This is the place to be for trinkets, antiques and retro fashion. There are more than 400 independent shops and cafes in this area so I was more than happy to ditch the Starbucks and get stuck in. Food & drink in the Lanes: I visited on a beautiful sunny day so settled myself outside Kooks Restaurant for a G&T and snacks whilst I read my book and people-watched. If you visit at lunchtime, check out Curry Leaf Cafe for casual Indian food or Lost in the Lanes for hip, wholesome lunch and brunch. Browse the shops in this A-Z to the Lanes .

10. Wander the promenade

After visiting Brighton Beach and Brighton Pier, take a stroll along the promenade. Here you’ll spot some other famous features of Brighton. You can walk all the way to Hove, spotting colourful beach huts and finishing your Brighton day trip with a tasty dinner in Hove. Some sights to see along Brighton’s seafront promenade include:

The skeleton of West Pier (sandy lost to a fire)
Brighton Beach Bandstand.

After walking past Brighton Beach Bandstand, you’re just a few moments from…

11. Brunswick Square

It may not be the most common thing to do during a Brighton day trip but I’m always amazed by this part of town. Go and ponder how the other half live at this millionaire square! Built in the 1820s, Brunswick Square was (unsurprisingly) created for the upper classes who were expected to behave accordingly while living in them. While the classes may not be as divided these days, it’s still the fanciest part of town. After having a nosy around, keep walking towards Hove. These two parts of the city are close enough together that you can see Brighton in a day and tag on Hove, too.

12. Hove Beach Huts

I’m no minimalist; I’m obsessed with anything bright and colourful so I was in heaven in Hove, 10 minutes’ walk down the road from Brighton. There’s not much to say about the Hove Beach Huts (apart from some sell for up to £14,000!) but they’re worth checking out as an Instagrammable destination in Brighton !

13. Eat dinner at Fatto Amano

After walking to Hove to check out Hove Beach Huts, I stopped for dinner. If you have just one day in Brighton and limited stomach room, save yourself for pizza at Fatto Amano ! This pizzeria is inspired by Naples and exclusive to Brighton. The freshly-cooked woodfire pizzas cost between £8.50-£15, perfect if you’re travelling on a budget . If you don’t head all the way to Hove, there’s a branch in the Lanes, too. Check out all the best places to eat in Hove .

14. Take a food tour

Taking food tours is one of my favourite things to do in new cities. I’ve taken them in Mexico, Vietnam, South Africa and now even back home in the UK! I like Viator for food experiences, like this secret doughnut tour !

15. Take a self-guided treasure hunt

For a final fun thing to do during a day trip to Brighton, why not take a scavenger hunt? I love how many of these are popping up in cities all over the world. You use your mobile phone to unlock clues and learn about the city. Being outdoors, they’re great for travel in 2021. Check out this Brighton treasure hunt with Viator (£25) .

Where to stay after a day in Brighton

If you choose to stay over in Brighton, use Booking.com for hotels and self-catering apartments and Hostelworld.com for hostels.

Best budget accommodation – Selina Brighton . The Selina chain is a great option all around the world so you can expect top quality standards. This venue is perfectly placed on Brighton Promenade with rooms from £50. More budget hotels – Britannia Study Hotel / The Lanes Hotel . Splash out hotel – Malmaison Brighton .

8 Great Things to Do in Brighton (Brighton Itinerary)

If you only have one day in Brighton, you may not be able to do everything on this list. Although you’ll be able to see the highlights in Brighton city centre. It’s best to spend a weekend in Brighton to fully explore the area.

1. Find Unique Shops in The Lanes

The Lanes are our favourite place in Brighton! They are always full of character and it’s easy to get lost between the narrow streets. The Lanes are the most popular area to shop in Brighton . The streets are mainly independent shops and cute brunch cafes. There’s always so much going on!

We visit the Lanes on every Brighton day trip as they’re not hard to miss! You can easily walk through them on the way to the beach from the train station. Throughout the many cute cafes and vintage shops, it’s an area you must visit on your Brighton itinerary.

North Laine has a bohemian vibe and is where you’ll find most of the thrift shops. Many clothing stores within the lanes have clothing rails out on the pathway, making it a lot easier to browse and also much easier to catch your eye on something!

During our first visit to the lanes, we stumbled across a cafe serving the cutest-looking vegan-friendly doughnuts and buns. We just had to try them! Down to Earth Coffee is located in the North Laine and we’ve already included a photo of the pink swirly doughnuts!

I also love Ju-Ju and found myself a cute pair of dungarees! Also don’t miss out on Lucy & Yak ! The Lanes are a hip and funky place to visit and you get a real feel for the Brighton atmosphere.

2. Hike in the South Downs National Park

The beauty of the South Downs National Park surrounds Brighton. It stretches along the southern coast of the UK passing right by Brighton. It’s a popular park for hiking all year round if it doesn’t rain too much.

A great starting point from Brighton would be to head to Devil’s Dyke . We caught a public bus from the city centre and reached the park in less than an hour. We loved the hike so much, we included it in our best hikes in the UK guide .

How to get to South Downs National Park from Brighton – catch the Bus Service 77 to Devil’s Dyke: £3 single, £5 return

Don’t worry this is the only place on this list that will involve leaving the city, but we thought it was worth mentioning for those adventurers! It’s also a very relaxing way to spend a weekend in Brighton.

Aswell as Devils Dyke, we’ve also hiked the Seven Sisters Trails (sadly in the rain), but we highly recommend doing both whilst you’re exploring the UK! Join a South Downs White Cliffs Tour here.

3. Spend Pennies at Brighton Palace Pier

Brighton Palace Pier is an iconic part of the city! Your Brighton itinerary should include a visit to the pier, even if it’s just for a browse.

It’s free to enter the pier, although money is needed for almost everything other than watching. There are many options to keep you occupied such as taking a risk on 2p machines, playing arcade shooting games and you can even play air hockey for £1-£2.

At the very end of the pier, it feels like you’ve stepped into a mini theme park with rollercoasters and haunted house rides.

4. Try Amazing Vegan Restaurants

Brighton is a vegan paradise! If you’ve never been to any plant-based restaurants before, now is a great opportunity. We are massive foodies and enjoy finding some of the best vegan food to eat in a city before we visit.

There are so many options now all over the UK and Brighton is a great example of that. When we visited, we could only try a small percentage of what Brighton has to offer, but here are our recommendations for your Brighton itinerary:

Green Kitchen Vegan Cafe – tasty brunch!
Happy Maki – sushi rolls!
Purezza – amazing vegan pizza!
The No Catch Co – vegan fish and chips.
What The Pitta – vegan gyros!
Oowee Burgers – tasty vegan burgers

Check out our 4 days in London itinerary for more recommendations of vegan food and things to do.

5. Cycle along the Seafront

One of the best things to do in Brighton is to walk along the promenade gazing at the ocean waves. We’ve done this almost every Brighton trip, but we stepped up our game when we rented bikes and cycled the route!

Cycling along the seafront in Brighton is the perfect way to get around the city and visit more places in Brighton and Hove.

How to find a Rental Bike in Brighton?

If you walk around the city, you will notice rows of sky-blue bikes locked up. They are all over Brighton, so it won’t be very hard to locate a bike.

BTN BikeShare has both e-bikes and regular pedal bikes, so it’s up to you which one you want to rent. Download the – Social Bicycles app to rent one.

You have to sign up and create an account linked to a bank card but it will only charge you for what you use and don’t forget to check if there’s a promo code on google!

It’s 8p per minute for a pedal bike or 16p per minute for an e-bike – (Plus £1 unlock fee)

There is a dedicated cycle lane for bikes, however, it’s important to watch out for pedestrians who may walk in the cycle lanes.

Things to do in Brighton - Explore the Marina

The Hove Beach Huts are iconic for Brighton and a short cycle away, once you arrive, you can lock your bike back up and then start a new trip when you’re ready to cycle again.

Brighton Marina is full of restaurants, fishing boats and small boathouses. It’s a great location to see on a weekend in Brighton and a good opportunity to stop for food.

You can also join a bike tour of the city of Brighton ! It’s a great way to see the highlights and meet other travellers. Although it’s a lot cheaper to rent a bike and do a self guided tour yourself.

6. Picnic on the Royal Pavilion Gardens

The Royal Pavilion is an exotic palace in the centre of Brighton with a colourful history. It was built for King George IV and mixes Regency grandeur with the visual style of India and China. In a very English city, the palace definitely stands out so you won’t miss it!

The gardens surrounding the palace is a perfect spot for a delicious picnic . You can also admire the Royal Pavilion at the same time.

If you’re interested in looking inside the palace you can purchase tickets here .

7. Rest on the Pebbles at Brighton Beach

A weekend in Brighton isn’t complete without visiting the beach. With the coast being so close to the city centre, it’s hard to miss the massive stretch of the ocean behind the shops.

Much like the Royal Pavilion Gardens, a pebbly beach is a perfect place for a rest and a snack.

If you’re not from the UK (and even if you are) this may be one of the perfect spots to enjoy some British chips. Just be careful of the seagulls! We recommed visiting The No Catch Co. for the best vegan fish and chips in the city!

You can also head up to the top of the Brighton i360 tower for a panaramic view of Brighton! Book your tickets in advance here .

8. See the Hidden Street Art

Brighton has an impressive amount of graffiti , and a large amount compared to other cities in the UK. It totally makes sense for this artsy city to be so colourful and definitely fits Brighton’s vibe.

There are a few famous murals to be found throughout the streets, however, a lot of Brighton’s graffiti consists of words and random art by a collection of unknown people or artists.

One of the most famous graffiti art pieces in Brighton is Banksy’s Kissing Robbers , after a long battle with vandalism, a remake of the art is placed on the side of the Prince Albert pub.

Gloucester, North and London Road are other popular streets for funky graffiti. You never know when something new will pop up in big cities.

If you like street art, Bristol is home to Banksy’s Street Art and we have a one day Bristol itinerary along with all the best free things to do in Bristol .

9. Watch a gig at Brighton Dome

Although London has lots of music venues, we booked tickets to see my favourite band, Alexisonfire at Brighton Dome! We grabbed a train after work and made our way down to Brighton for the night.

The Brighton Dome Studio Theatre is used for music events and plays. Whether you’re into theatre or music gigs, check out what’s playing to have a unique experience during your weekend in Brighton.

There are also plenty of cinemas around Brighton and the rest of the UK, it can be a great way to spend a rainy day!

Planning a Brighton Itinerary

Once we moved to London, Brighton became our beachy getaway and it was super easy to visit Brighton on a day trip! After showing you the best 9 things to do in Brighton, we can now plan your Brighton itinerary.

Day 1 in Brighton

Start your day with a vegan brunch at Green Kitchen before spending the morning exploring the Lanes ! Admire the Royal Pavilion Gardens before finding the unique street art in Brighton .

Head to the beach and get a vegan f ish and chips on Brightons beach and relax! After fueling up, spend the late afternoon cycling to Hove to see the Brighton beach huts and check out the marina on the other side of Brighton.

End your day with a sunset on the beach or a music gig at Brighton Dome .

Day 2 in Brighton

Spend most of the day visiting the South Downs National Park whether you walk across the Seven Sisters or hike Devils Dyke!

When you get back to Brighton city centre, explore anything you might have missed on the first day and get lost in the Lanes!

Where to stay in Brighton

If you’re spending the weekend in Brighton, you’ll want to stay close to the beach or city centre. Brighton isn’t a cheap city to stay in, but the UK is quite expensive overall. Here’s a few reccommendations on where to stay in Brighton:

Brighton Beach Inn £-££ – a social dorm in the heart of Brighton – Find on Hostelworld here !
Paskins Town House £-££ – a modern apartment in the centre of Brighton – Find on Booking.com here !
Blue Sky Guest House ££ – a cosy private room near the Pier – Find on Booking.com here !

What to do at night in Brighton

When the sun goes down in Brighton, there are still many ways you can spend your night. Brighton’s nightlife is said to be great, whether you’re interested in late-night clubs or cosy pubs, you will not spend your evening bored.

Head to the cinema
Grab a beer at one of Brighton’s many pubs
Go for a walk along the promenade
See a concert

Did you know? Brighton hosts the UK’s largest Pride event every August and Europe’s first Trans Pride was held here.

How to get to Brighton

There are multiple ways to get to Brighton depending on where you are in the country. If you’re visiting Brighton from outside of the UK, you’ll need a flight to London.

By Train – Taking the train to Brighton is the best way to reach the city without a car. Brighton Train Station is in the centre, walkable to most locations and points of interest. Book your tickets in advance on Trainline for the best prices (you’ll save more money with a Railcard)

By Bus / Coach – If you’re on a budget, another way to get to Brighton is by coach. National Express and Megabus can cost around £5 for a 3-4 hour journey. We use them all the time!

By Car – Using your own vehicle or hiring a car is a great way to travel around the UK. When travelling into cities such as Brighton you may have a problem trying to find free parking. Use Google Maps to find a car park.

Is Brighton worth visiting?

Brighton always has a cool vibe in the air and you can visit all year round. The vegan food scene is truly amazing and some of the restaurants alone would make us want to visit again.

Brighton is a great weekend away for everyone and definitely worth a visit. As it’s so close to London, it also makes a perfect day trip for anyone in the capital city.

We hope you have the best Brighton itinerary and enjoy your time there! Find us on instagram @thesunrisedreamers and check out our other travel guides!

Wondering how to spend an awesome day in Brighton ? This one-day itinerary will help you make the most of it!

Oh Brighton, you beautiful little seaside city. Less than an hour from London by train, Brighton is one of the most popular day trips in the UK. And that’s no surprise! It’s a quirky, creative town with a beach, making it the perfect getaway from the hectic life in the capital city.

While you could easily spend a week in Brighton and enjoy some relaxing time on the beach, going on a day trip is just as perfect. You’ll be able to visit some of the main highlights and still have enough time to eat some fresh fish and chips near the beach. I’ve put this itinerary together for my own day in Brighton, so you don’t have to worry about what to do.

Let’s take a look!

How To Spend A Day In Brighton

Since taking a day trip to Brighton is such a great idea (especially if you’re in London), I’ve put together this one day Brighton itinerary to help. It includes all the main highlights in an efficient way so you can make the most of your time in this lovely seaside city.

Visit The Brighton Royal Pavilion

Our first stop when spending the day in Brighton is one of the city’s crown jewels: the Royal Pavilion. This Indian-styled palace seems completely out of place in Britain, something I definitely didn’t expect to find here! But it’s beautiful, and a must-see when in Brighton.

The Royal Pavilion was built over 200 years ago , as ordered by King George IV (then the Prince of Wales). Even though he never visited India, he was intrigued by the style. That’s why his beach residence turned out to look like this.

It’s not all Indian-styled though. The interior has more Chinese influence.

In the first World War, the building served as a hospital for Indian soldiers. And today, it’s one of the most visited tourist attractions of Brighton.

While the interior is very impressive, the Royal Gardens are equally as nice. In the 80s/90s, they were put back into the original design. Make sure to free up around two hours for your visit.

Walk Across The Brighton Pier

If you’ve ever come across photos of Brighton, chances are you are already familiar with the famous Pier. The Victorian pier has been part of the city since 1899 and is filled with shops, arcades, and eateries (fresh fish and chips anybody?). It’s probably the best place to enjoy a view of the beach too!

See Brighton From Above In The British Airways i360

You can find this iconic viewing tower a little further down the beach from the pier. The British Airways i360 stands 138 meters tall and gives you stunning panoramic views of the beach and Brighton. There’s even a bar onboard 😉 You can pre-book tickets to ensure you’ve got a spot – but you may want to make sure it’s a bright day when you visit. It’s much better when the weather works in your favour.

Walk Down The Beachfront Promenade & See Brighton’s Beach

Brighton’s beach is not made out of sand, but pebbles. Coming from the Netherlands, where all beaches are sandy, it was quite a surprise! However, it still makes for a good spot to sunbathe if the weather allows it.

But since we’re only spending one day in Brighton, you may want to skip the sunbathing and walk the beachfront promenade instead. Swirling through the pebbles, the four-mile-long promenade gives you the perfect opportunity for a lovely walk along the beach, with tons of little shops on the side.

What stood out to me most about Brighton is how close the beach is to the city centre. I think that’s one of the things people love about this city so much.

Photograph The Colourful Hove Beach Huts

Ever seen pictures of the colourful beach houses in Brighton?

They’re technically not in Brighton but in Hove. But luckily, the promenade stretches all the way to Hove. From Brighton Pier, it’s just over a mile. Especially if the weather is nice, it makes for a lovely walk. If you decide to also add the i360 to your itinerary, from there it’s only a 15-minute walk.

Shop Until You Drop In The Lanes

Back to Brighton to explore the famous Lanes. This network of streets is located in the historic quarter of the city, and it’s the perfect place to shop. Filled with independent boutiques and shops, it’s an absolute must-visit when spending time in Brighton.

You can find the coolest items here. From antiques and vintage clothing to record stores and eateries. The perfect spot for a quick coffee for your afternoon caffeine fix 😉

Spot The Coolest Street Art

While this isn’t really a location or a specific spot in the city, it still deserves a mention in this post. Brighton is a very creative city, and that’s seen back in its street art. The city is filled with the most beautiful murals and colourful graffiti. Especially near the North Laine (not the Lanes, this is a different area), you can find a ton of cool graffiti artwork.

Eat Fresh Fish & Chips Near The Beach

What’s a visit to one of the UK’s best seaside towns without having some fresh fish and chips, am I right? As mentioned earlier, you can get some delicious fish and chips on Brighton Pier – I can’t think of a better place to enjoy such a traditional dish, near the sea! Beware of the seagulls though 😉 They also love some of that fish!

Best Times To Visit Brighton

Being a seaside town, Brighton is best enjoyed with the sun out. But since it’s still England, you can never be 100% sure you’re avoiding the rain 😉 Still, the best months to visit Brighton are between May and September . The temperature is better and there is less chance of rain. Keep in mind that July and August are peak tourist months in Brighton, so it can get very busy.

How To Get To Brighton

Brighton is the perfect day trip from London because it takes under an hour to get there by train. It’s no surprise that Brighton welcomes 9.5 million day trip visitors every year (!!!).

By plane: The easiest way to reach Brighton by plane is to fly to London and take the train from there.

By train: As mentioned previously, taking the train to Brighton is the easiest way to go for a day trip. It’s fast and you can reach it from London in under an hour.

If you’re coming from other cities in the UK, you can also take the train. But make sure to check how long it takes, because it may be worth booking a weekend in Brighton rather than a day. For example, it takes over four hours!

By bus: Another, more budget-friendly option, is taking the bus. From London, you can get a coach ticket for as little as £9 and it will roughly take an hour and a half. Once again, from other cities in the UK, the trip could be a little too long to only spend a day in Brighton, so you may want to extend your stay.

Add More Cities To Your UK Itinerary

Spending a day in Brighton is fantastic, but why not add some more cities to your itinerary? There are so many great UK city breaks available, so why not spend a weekend in Bath or two days in Bristol ?

If you want to come up north, I highly recommend visiting Manchester for the weekend or explore York in two days .

Conclusion – How To Spend A Lovely Day In Brighton

Taking a day trip to Brighton from London is never a bad idea! But even if you decide to stay for a weekend because you’re coming from further away, this gorgeous city won’t disappoint.

I hope this Brighton itinerary has helped you plan your own trip or at least given you some ideas on what to do in Brighton. I definitely cannot wait to return!

What can you do in Brighton for free?

Visiting Brighton doesn’t have to be expensive. There are a lot of free things to do , including the Brighton Pier, relaxing on the beach, Brighton’s fishing museum, and the Brighton Marina.

How many days do you need in Brighton?

While spending a day in Brighton gives you enough time to see all the highlights, I recommend going for two or three days. This way, you can visit all the sights but also have some time to enjoy the beach.

How do I spend the day in Brighton?

In the morning, visit the Brighton Royal Pavilion and Brighton Pier. After that, enjoy a panoramic view of the city in the BA i360, walk the promenade towards the Hove beach huts. End your afternoon by shopping in the Lanes, and finish the day with some fresh fish and chips near the water. For more information, you can check out my Brighton day trip itinerary in the article above.

"It’s really nice to have a platform like GAFFL with lots of travelers wanting to do the same as you, a real beautiful cultural exchange. You can meet people so easily and in a trustful way. We were four girls, from French, German and American backgrounds, without knowing each other from before. We spent an amazing week together, 2000km driving, camping on the way. We saw kangaroos, koalas, penguins and pelicans"

“I have found GAFFL to be an amazing tool for finding similar minded travel partners to embark on an adventure. Through GAFFL, I had organized a trip to Mexico City last month and Quazi joined the trip from Victoria, BC. We spent 14 days of straight exploring, hiking, eating and drinking. Quite an amazing experience - all thanks to GAFFL!”

"I accidentally scrolled across GAFFL and I'm so pleased I did. I met Amaia and immediately decided to road-trip together. We're spending 10 days together and it's great because we have so much in common. Couldn't have done it without GAFFL helping us find one another! It has honestly made NZ so much cheaper to explore as I get to split the costs with someone too"

Road trip to Brighton – summer’s last gasp

As I mentioned last week, I have one last chapter of our ‘summer of last hurrahs’ to tell you about. When we got back from our teen FOMO-riddled two weeks in Turkey, I was puzzling over how to approach future holidays with the boys when Travelodge got in touch to ask if they could help me with a summer post. Immediately the idea of a road trip sprang to mind and so they suggested we make a plan.

Because we live so close to the sea, we tend to go inland if we travel in the UK. Of course we used to go to Brighton and Devon and Cornwall when we were based in London, but the boys were babies and don’t remember. However we’ve always had this picture in our house and for years they’ve asked “what’s so cool about Brighton?” so, given the choice of any destination in the UK, a road trip to Brighton seemed like the obvious choice.

Road trip stop 1 – Oxford

It was too far to travel all the way in one journey so on a blistering (even in the north) Bank Holiday Monday, we waited for the middle one to finish his shift at Primark and then set off down country as far as Oxford. Here we are arriving and the graffiti was obviously drawing Mr MC’s eye because this is the only shot where I’m the focus rather than the artwork behind me!

Hush top; Aspiga skirt; And Other Stories sandals – all SS19

I’d had a quick look through Time Out on the way down (does anyone else feel they can’t trust Tripadvisor any more?) and found a burger restaurant that sounded as though it would appeal to the boys. Atomic Burger is based on comic book culture and although they weren’t as excited by it as they would have been ten years ago, they quite enjoyed the references to different movies and superheroes around the place…

As you can see their burgers were spectacular. After a long summer of endless eating and drinking I was trying to exercise some restraint. Looking at the pictures in this post I can see that I’m looking plump like the plums on the trees but I guess at least that’s seasonal – and I have it in hand now! Would I recommend Atomic Burger? It was fun but it was eye-wateringly expensive – our food and soft drinks came to £98 which was a bit of a shock for such a simple place.

Refuelled, we went to book into our first Travelodge which was on the edge of the city. If you’re not a UK reader I should explain that Travelodge offers simple, good value accommodation in just about every town and city. Some hotels have their own bars and restaurants, others are rooms only and they’re a reliable base, especially if you’re going to be spending most of your time out and about.

SuperRooms are gradually being introduced and they give you upgraded facilities including a coffeemaker, jet shower and choice of pillows. We had one at this hotel as you can see below.

By now it was 9.30pm and with Oxford at our feet, we decided to pop out for a glass of wine before bed. Here we are at The Head of the River and this is where we spotted a cultural difference. On a Bank Holiday Monday up north the pubs would still be packed at this time, down here however they were all closing early – sensible southerners had already called it a day.

After our long drive we were happy to have an early night though. We were all up bright and early the next morning apart from the middle one. It transpired that unable to sleep, he’d gone out at 2am and hired one of the bikes outside the hotel, spending a few hours cycling around the city. As my heart skipped a beat, I stopped myself from saying anything – reminding myself that he was, after all, (all of) two weeks past his 18th birthday. He’s a man now and the smile on his face showed me how much he’d enjoyed stretching his wings.

So we met up for breakfast and a good thing if you have boys with appetites is the bottomless buffet at Travelodge which set them up for a morning of shopping with mum (lucky things). The photos below illustrate just how much they relished it… yes, that is a yawn from the youngest in the last picture.

I suppose I should praise them for their resourcefulness though. As soon as they saw the large John Lewis they knew it was going to be a while before they saw daylight and so the middle one came up with the idea of going retro again and they downloaded Pokemon Go (yes retro in this case is a game that launched all the way back in 2016!). As you will see through the rest of this post it defeated my purpose somewhat because it meant that they were heads down catching Pokemon in every location we went to but… it kept them happy and more importantly, gave them something to do together.

I know lots of you have told me this but Oxford really does have a lovely shopping centre with just about every retailer you could wish for. Amongst others there’s a nice big Uniqlo which is the one shop that everyone in our family loves and Cos – which clearly the boys like less.

We then headed into the university part of the city with its lovely Cotswold stone buildings. I’ve only ever been to Oxford on flying visits and it’s made me determined to go back soon and spend more time there. In fact I’d go so far as to say it’s the kind of place that I could see myself living in… not the city itself but a village outside.

We stopped for a coffee in one of the university quads because we had another reason for choosing Oxford as a stopover. This is the year that the youngest needs to start focusing on his UCAS university shortlist and we wondered if he’d be inspired to make Oxford one of them. This is the moment when I put the idea to him and as you can see, his answer was an emphatic ‘erm no!’ Despite not having visited, his mind is currently set on Durham… we’ll see how it pans out.

Road trip stop 2 – Brighton

So, that was our whirlwind tour of Oxford. Mr MC and I had enjoyed the sights (and the boys had caught some rare Pokemon and captured a Poke-gym so all was well with the world). It was time to get back on the road and head to Brighton. A couple of hours later we arrived at our next Travelodge which as you can see was just spitting distance from the seafront.

This is a ‘ Travelodge Plus ‘ (others are in London, York, Edinburgh and Marlow) which means it has upgraded standard rooms, SuperRooms and a Bar and Cafe.

The sun was shining outside so we checked in quickly and headed out to explore the promenade. Here we are on the pier and I realised that last time we were there, the boy standing next to me was just four months in utero. That’s not why he has an odd expression on his face though – I was trying to persuade him to go on a gut-twisting ride that the youngest had dashed off to get tickets for. He wasn’t keen…

… but as always he obliged and as you can see, it worked out well. Watching them gave us one of those recaptured moments of parenthood when you know that they’re in the moment and just enjoying themselves.

After that we sat in the sunshine with a glass of wine and of course as we were at the seaside it had to be fish and chips for tea. Whatever you do though don’t have fish and chips at the Palm Court on the pier – it looks lovely but it was awful.

Here’s a tongue in cheek shot that once again instantly lost me about sixty followers on Instagram which just goes to show that lots of people don’t read the caption… I wasn’t actually going to have my cards read.

At the same time something that had happened back home had triggered a Facebook reconnection with some of the girls I was at school with. We were in different class forms so we weren’t especially close but even though we hadn’t spoken for 32 years and are now spread all around the world, the distance evaporated in a flash and we pitched straight into conversation as if we were still in the 6th form common room. There’s something special about the people you were at school with isn’t there? The connection you have when you’ve spent seven of your most formative years growing up alongside each other is unlike any other. And that’s the thing about the internet, just as I was feeling the sharp sting of anonymous unfollows I was also enjoying the intense pleasure of ageless reconnection. Like anything, you have to take the rough with the smooth.

So, we walked down the prom watching the sun set…

…and enjoyed some of the sights that Brighton has to offer.

Then it was time to go back to the hotel, to catch up on a bit of work before Mr MC and I headed out to a great jazz bar. Again this is where Travelodge worked well for us, the boys joined us for half an hour before deciding to head back on their own to their rooms. Because it was so central, it was easy for us all to do as we pleased and everyone was happy.

We awoke the next morning to more glorious sunshine and after another bottomless breakfast, we spent some time exploring The Lanes. If you don’t know Brighton they’re a network of pretty narrow streets housing independent shops and designer stores such as Maje and Sandro.

When we’d seen everything we crossed over to The Royal Pavilion which was built as a summer palace for King George IV. Mr MC and I relaxed in the sunshine, enjoying the luxury of not being at our desks while the boys were as happy as they would have been ten years ago, laughing together as they chased Pokemon around the grounds. It felt good but… can you see… after a while the clouds started coming over…

… so we made a quick plan for the cinema which was next door to the hotel, stopping off for sweets on the way. I’ve no idea what the shop assistant had just said to me… or what film we saw at the cinema – something with guns and a lot of fighting but you’ll be pleased to know that by the end of it, disaster was averted and the world was saved.

We agreed on Italian food for dinner and as we wandered the Lanes looking for a good place to eat, the heavens opened. I was wearing a blouse and shoes that I’d chosen for my Boden August edit; I’d been saving them for this evening out in Brighton but there wasn’t time to get a very good shot…

Blouse (gifted AW19); And/Or Jeans (gifted SS18); Shoes (gifted AW19)

… there was nothing for it but to retreat to a cosy pub until it passed over. What I will say is that I love this blouse with its tie neck – I always wear them tied low but obviously you have the option of wearing it higher in classic pussy bow style. The shoes are fabulous too with their mock croc finish and squared off toe. They’re slingbacks but I’ll be wearing them right through winter with midi-skirts, wide leg crops and tights.

When the rain eased off we ventured out again and stumbled over Donnatello’s – which I happily recognised to be the Italian restaurant that I went to with friends on my hen weekend back in 1992 (the memories are a little hazy but of course I put that down to the passing of time). The food was good, portions were large and the bill was the kindest we’d had (£64 for four with wine, coffee and a dessert for the youngest). Brighton isn’t a budget destination but this is a great place to eat.

And with that, we put Brighton to bed because the next morning it was time to head north again and visit a different town.

Road trip Stop 3 – Leamington Spa

And as if by magic, here we are a rriving in leafy Leamington Spa. Now this was a very different Travelodge, you can see it behind me, The Regent Hotel . Every so often you come across a Travelodge in a magnificent building like this. I remember us staying in one in Edinburgh years ago when the boys were little and their room was quite literally a ballroom, there were just three little beds lined up against the wall.

The interior was on a similarly grand scale, it was difficult to capture because you needed a wide angle lens but here’s Mr MC doing his best – I think he was trying to hide behind the middle one, out of shot. Oh and I must mention the service, it was good everywhere we went but we had a particularly warm welcome here and I know they’ll be looking out for this post so I’m keeping my promise. The three of us headed out to explore Leamington Spa leaving the youngest happily in his huge bedroom making TikTok videos.

Once again the hotel was in the heart of the town so it was easy to pop in and out. Leamington is one of those places I’ve always wanted to go to – all through my career it’s been cited as the best market town testbed for retail and I wanted to see why.

Now I gather from Instagram that quite a few of you live in Leamington and are waiting to see what I have to say about it. As you can see, I liked it, a lot. I’m always happiest in a scalable town and I liked the fact that you could whiz round it in about 45 minutes. It had all of the market town stores that you’d expect – Joules, Seasalt, White Stuff, FatFace… but there was a Jaeger and a Jigsaw too (in fact Mr MC was chased out of Jigsaw by the manager who saw him taking pictures of me and thought he was some kind of strange stalker – oh how I laughed).

I’d looked forward to the regency architecture but what I hadn’t expected was the wide open space. The roads are so wide that they’re practically boulevards – I appreciate that the regency period was all about being seen in your carriage but it was very striking and it made the whole place feel very peaceful. The other thing that surprised me was that culturally Leamington felt northern. Warwick is only 3 miles away and yet to me it always feels like the south. Leamington on the other hand had the openness and unassuming air of a northern town which was something I hadn’t expected to find.

There were also a lot of great places to eat and drink, most of them independently run and quite busy given that this was a Thursday afternoon. The middle one had left us to join his brother by this stage so Mr MC and I enjoyed an hour in the sunshine on our own.

Knowing that it was going to be our last evening of eating out before a period of self-imposed austerity, we decided on Indian food and found Bombay restaurant which was simple but very good. And this blouse is the last of my Boden pieces for August, I’ve really fallen in love with this style, I find it flattering and easy to wear plus the viscose washes well which is a bonus.

The only breakfast option at The Regent was for a box delivered to your room so we headed out instead. I’d been given so many recommendations on Instagram the night before and this was one of them. You can tell we’re soaking up the last bit of vitamin D before accepting that our summer was officially at an end.

Before heading off we had a wander around the side of town that we’d missed the day before. Again our visit was too short to do the place justice and I should add that if we’d had more time, it would have made a great base for visiting busy places nearby such as Stratford upon Avon and Warwick.

And with that there was no other option but to declare summer officially closed for our family. The shock of the school timetable was looming and after twelve weeks of unravelling, it was time for us to get back and crack on with normal life. What I can say though was that this road trip to Brighton was a real success and a great way for us to draw closer again before spinning off into our own worlds. The boys said that having their own rooms made them feel validated and that’s the good thing about Travelodge , it’s affordable enough for everyone to have their own space for a short trip. It just leaves me to say a big thank you to the team there because if they hadn’t got in touch, I’d never have thought of this idea and I’m sure we’ll do it again – but maybe next time travel up through Scotland. So with half term ahead for some, I’ll leave you with that thought.

Disclosure: ‘Road trip to Brighton’ was commissioned by Travelodge and our stay was free of charge although we covered our own travel expenses and food expenditure. The concept along with all thoughts, photographs and experiences were our own.

Blogger sale.

It would be very hard for me to do Second Hand September when we’re at the beginning of new season and my blog is largely about retail. However, I’ve found a way to support it. I’ve had another clearout and I’m busy listing lovely things (lots of them hardly worn) before I change my mind and put them back into my dressing room.

So, a blogger sale will go live on Friday and this time I’m supporting the charity ‘ Look Good, Feel Better ‘ which helps people who are living with cancer to manage the visible side-effects of their treatment. I know when my mum was going through chemo, just little things like having a manicure or her hair done and putting on some lipstick helped her to feel better about herself.

When I was waiting for my appointment at the breast clinic in July, I did a lot of bargaining with fate and I pledged to support a cancer charity when I was through the other side. This one is just a small one but it has a nice fit with everything we talk about here. So I hope the results of our sale will bring happiness both to you and to people who are going through a difficult time as well.

It will go live on Friday at about 5pm – be ready – and thank you. xx
