Brighton’s cafes, bars, restaurants and antiquaries are also a big attraction. Contributing to the experience is the variety of hotels to stay at. From luxury spa hotels to quirky retreats, country houses to tranquil B&Bs.

Perhaps you will fall in love with Drake’s on Brighton’s Marine Parade - a quirky and memorable boutique hotel, that brings together the charm of a Georgian property with contemporary flair. Or maybe you will be enchanted by Artist Residence with muralled walls by street artists, upcycled furniture and bohemian charm. For traditional five-star luxury, head to nearby Eastbourne, where The Grand Hotel is imposing enough to sit on top of a wedding cake and comes complete with a spa and a jewel of an outdoor pool.
