Did you know...
ALICE IN WONDERLAND Author Lewis Carroll lived in Sussex Square from 1874-87 and the underground passage from the gardens to the seafront is said to be the inspiration for the rabbit hole in his famous book, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
WINSTON CHURCHILL
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was schooled in the Brunswick area of Hove where he is commemorated by a
blue plaque on a building in Lansdowne Place. Brighton’s popular Churchill Square shopping mall is named after him.
LONDON-BY-THE-SEA
Brighton is home to many famous faces including DJ Norman Cook and his wife Zoe Ball, Heather Mills, Steve Coogan, boxer Chris Eubank, Will Young and journalist Julie Burchill. Most recently, award-winning singer Adele has purchased a house on ‘Millionaire’s Row’.
ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIR
BRIGHTON PIER Consistently ranked one of the UK’s top ten visitor attractions, Brighton Pier is the quintessential seaside day out.

Or experience the thrills and spills of the fun fair including the heart-stopping Super Booster, Horror Hotel and Crazy Mouse rollercoaster. Teens will love the latest arcade games in the buzzing Palace of Fun, and the little ones are also well-catered for with a bouncy castle, a carousel, teacups and a helterskelter. With a vast choice of entertaining side shows, novelty shops, bars and dining options to suit all pockets, Brighton Pier is an absolute must for any visitor!
