With the city hosting the largest arts festival in the UK each May and the Theatre Royal observing its 200th birthday this year, Brighton is fast emerging as the cultural hot destination of the UK.

With culture on every corner, the free-thinking city, Brighton is a hive of energy presenting people an exclusive short break location and giving them a breath of fresh air.

Treasuring boutique accommodation, historical and cultural attractions and wonderful festival events throughout the year, Brighton is presenting the very best in art, dance, theatre and music, with a colourful atmosphere to complement every holiday.

The culture, from the past and beauty of the Royal Pavilion to the fast tracked rush of Brighton Racecourse and the style of the theatre, is easily seen in every building and on every street corner in the city.

A list of festivals and other events scheduled throughout the year provide an additional opportunity to give a dash of culture to one's holiday.

From the Food and Drink Festival in the month of September this year and the Comedy Festival in the month of October this year, to CineCity in the month of November this year and Brighton Festival in the month of May next year, there is something unique for all to enjoy.

Brighton is also providing visitors with a range of night time activities. The city joins cosmopolitan restaurants and bars with local as well as international music and theatre.
