Gay Brighton and Sussex

Brighton has plenty to offer the lesbian and gay visitor. A fantastic selection of gay clubs, bars, restaurants, saunas and hotels, there are several ‘must see’ attractions like the Royal Pavilion, one of the most exotically beautiful buildings in the British Isles developed on the whim of flamboyant monarch George VI.

And stay longer. The Sussex countryside has elegant stately homes, fairytale castles, colourful gardens and cultural connections including Charleston, where the Bloomsbury artists and intellectuals intertwined their lives and loves. Get up close and personal with Hastings’ smugglers, Eastbourne’s adrenalin junkies, Arundel’s antiques and Chichester’s gastronomy.

Everywhere you turn there are coffee shops, bars and restaurants of every style, cuisine and budget to tempt you. And don’t forget retail therapy – with flea markets to mooch around and independent shops filled with clothing, gadgets and nice things you never knew you needed. 

There are race-courses and casinos for a flutter, people to meet, places to dance and the celebration party of the year which is Brighton’s annual Pride parade.     Our website listing gay friendly services will be available shortly.
