Location: The meeting point is the entrance to Brighton Palace Pier - arrive at 1.50 pm for a 2 pm start. I will be standing under the clock at the entrance gates of the 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 4 pm.
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 the city. 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!
Come along if you would like to hear interesting stories rather than just dates and names.
