| Brighton Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see x Brighton Pavillion Hans-Peter Harmsen Located on the southern coast of England, almost directly south from London, Brighton has also been called "London By The Sea". Brighton is easy to get to being served by the M25/M23 motorways from the North and the M27 from East to West. There are also fast and regular trains to London and Gatwick international airport is 40 minutes away up the M23. |

| Made popular by the Victorians in the 1800s due to their fixation with dips in the sea, it has grown from its humble fishing village origins into a vibrant, multi-cultural hub that seems to have that knack of converting many of its temporary visitors into fully fledged inhabitants. Its two universities and many English language colleges ensure that foreign languages are commonly overheard when out and about, especially during the summer months. The universities also provide a steady supply of new youthful inhabitants for the city, which influences many of the services available. Brighton has many places to visit for the tourist. Apart from the beautifully preserved royal palace built by George IV, The Royal Pavilion (& Brighton Museum, Corn Exchange, Dome and Pavilion Theatre located at the same site), right in the centre of the city there are The Lanes (for the tourists) and The North Laine (for the young trendy locals). |

| Il festival di Brighton Maggio significa Festival a Brighton, ridente cittadina balneare del sud dell’Inghilterra di Ester Federica Zanetti Video Foto Maggio significa Festival a Brighton, ridente cittadina balneare del sud dell’Inghilterra. Come ogni anno, la città ha aperto spazi, teatri, strade, università e piccoli rifugi agli artisti della scena nazionale ed internazionale. Durante questo intenso mese di performance ho avuto la possibilità di seguire appuntamenti musicali, visivi, letterari e teatrali fuori dal comune. Dal primo al 23 maggio non c’è che l’imbarazzo della scelta in un turbinio di eventi tra i più variegati per genere e sorta. Il mio itinerario artistico ha inizio all’interno dello spazio racchiuso di ‘Fabrica’ (ex chiesa al centro dei Lanes) è qui che s’incontra lo spettacolare Brian Eno artista multimediale e curatore del Festival. L’ artista offre agli spettatori un percorso infinito, non-lineare di musica visuale,una sintesi audio-ottica eccellente, il mutamento costante di immagini, suoni, forme e colori mi ha trasportata attraverso panorami musicali e visivi interamente nuovi. Brian Eno ha già esposto le sue toccanti opere alla Biennale di Venezia e Triennale di Milano, passando per Tokio e San Francisco, approdando a Brighton. Seguendo la linea dei suoni e dei colori, lascio la ‘Modern Art’ per qualcosa di più tradizionale. Poco lontano da ‘Fabrica’, all’interno della Concert Hall nell’eclettica struttura del Royal Pavilion, due icone della Musica Africana del calibro di Tony Allen e Seun Kuti hanno messo in note la loro passione, l’energia e nondimeno la fisicità di quello che viene chiamato il nuovo Jazz Africano. Tra gli spettacoli più coinvolgenti l’esilarante perfomance dei Rimini Protokol attraverso il loro Best Before Show. All’interno di una delle aule multimediali dell’Università di Brighton la compagnia teatrale ha allestito un video game formato umano. Viene così simulata la vita di una piccola città nella quale ogni spettatore, dotato di joystick può decidere la propria vita ed il proprio life-style . Ci si sposa, si hanno figli, si decide che lavoro fare, se avere una pistola, se fare sesso prima dei 15 anni, due ore di intrattenimento attivo, con la costante presenza di attori che accompagnano lo spettatore-cittadino in questo percorso di vita multimediale. Anche in questo caso non viene però mai dimenticata la componente umana della compagnia, con le uscite satiriche e romantiche degli attori che a loro modo interpretano le scelte dei virtuali cittadini di Bestland. Questi alcuni assaggi del magnifico portafoglio artistico della città, senza dimenticare il Fringe Festivals (spettacoli e concerti di ogni sorta in strada) e le Artists Open Houses occasione unica di vedere esposte più di 1000 opere di artisti più o meno noti e sbirciare all’interno di alcune tra le più belle case della città. Questa è la magia del Festival di Brighton…io mi sono divertita, per l’anno prossimo, voi prenotatevi! |

| Music is a vital part of the cultural scene in Brighton, which has many
nightclubs catering for all tastes when it comes to dancing. However, the
live music scene is also alive and well with several bands originating from
the Brighton area having gone on to have commercial success in recent years.
Venues to check out first of all are the Concorde II on the seafront east of
the Palace Pier (now known as the Brighton Pier) and the Freebutt which is
close to St Peter's Church (the cathedral-like building in the centre of
Brighton which is east of Brighton station). Brighton now has its own
college dedicated to music in the Brighton Institute of Modern Music (or
BIMM for short), so expect to see a growing list of bands making it from the
Brighton area. Apart from music, the broader arts scene is very strong with
several well-established theatres in Brighton and many more experimental and
avant garde productions staged at further venues. The internationally
renowned Brighton Festival (and related Brighton Festival Fringe) held in
May every year, provides a focus for the entire arts community in Brighton.
In addition to the many artists and sculptors who inhabit Brighton
(Julie-Anne Gilburt's studio on the beach front, east of the Brighton Pier
is well worth a visit), video and film production also thrives. The Brighton
Film School has established itself as an independent and respected provider
of courses for budding film makers, as well as providing services to
visiting film crews using Brighton as their back drop. Over the past 10
years the beach promenade has been transformed into a bright and bustling
pedestrian-friendly space with lots of arty boutiques, trendy cafés and
eateries, as well as an array of bars and nightspots providing dancing and
music well into the night. Brighton manages to cater for visitors and locals
in equal measure and is well worth a visit - you never know, you just might
decide to stay! ______Sights Edit This x Brighton Pavillion Hans-Peter Harmsen There is a lot to see in this city. The beach, the clubs and all the wonderful graffiti. Good people and lots of good music. Contributors March 12, 2005 change by hpharmsen July 13, 2005 change by giorgio [Add Sight] Preston Manor Edit This A nice old house with lots of nice old junk.

It'll make you want to have your own house like it. type: Hotspots World66 rating: [rate it] Brighton Pavilion Edit This x Brighton Pavillion photo by: Hans-Peter Harmsen George, the Prince of Wales and Prince Regent (he became King George IV) and his morganatic wife, bought a small farm house in what was then the village of Brighthelmstone. "Prinny's" penchant for sea bathing helped to transform this small rural community into a mecca of high society. Over a period of nearly fifty years, from 1783 (when he was only 21) to his death in 1830, George transformed the simple home. First, the farmhouse was incorporated into the Marine Pavilion. In 1803, William Porden built the huge Royal Stables in the Indian style, which soon dwarfed more.. type: Palaces World66 rating: [rate it] address: East Sussex BN1 1EE url: www.royalpavilion.org.uk tel: 01273 290900 The Piers Edit This Apart from the Pavilion, the other infamous image of Brighton is the Pier, specifically the broken one (the West Pier). Ravaged by storms, and more lately, fires, it is simply a shell falling progressively into the sea - although it looks rather more elegant reduced to its iron skeleton than it ever did as a crumbling, decaying wreck. I'm not sure where the millions of starlings that formerly inhabited the structure live now, mind. The other pier (the Palace Pier), a mile or so to the east, is intact, but has limited appeal.

Some of the best eateries are to be found in the Lanes and surrounding streets, although I'll resist suggesting specific venues - partly because there's such a variety of styles and settings that every person will have a different group of favourites, partly due to a major part of the enjoyment being wandering around seeking a feeding without really knowing what it is you're after. Pub-wise, similar variety exists. There are the bigger, more generic chain affairs in West Street, the smaller, more unique establishments in and around the Lanes, and everything in between elsewhere - the Steine possesses a number of large pubs, while several glass-fronted bars line the route from the station to the seafront. Again, a great part of the fun is to be had searching out drinkeries for oneself, but the Smugglers, in Ship Street, and The Font, just into the Lanes off here, stand out for me as distinctive venues with exceptional atmosphere. Clubs are less widely distributed - concentrated principally in West Street and the seafront. The latter are probably the best of the lot, but come at an increased price. Drinks, as ever, are ridiculously expensive in almost all of the venues - take advantage of the great number and quality of pubs and bars first. As for non-alcoholic or food-based entertainment, the city is superbly well-stocked. The Komedia, in Gardner Street, hosts endless varied shows, which are invariably well-received, whilst the Dome is the venue for well-known theatre, stand-up and less mainstream music. The Brighton Centre, on the seafront at the foot of West Street sees most of the big-name bands and shows, and also acts as the usual home of the Brighton Bears basketball team. See respective websites for up-to-date details. The Brighton Festival runs from May 7-29th, showcasing the city's enthusiasm and talent for the arts, making it a great time to visit.
