Discover your new favourite sounds at The Great Escape Festival
The Great Escape Festival takes place in Brighton over three days each May. The festival specialises in showcasing new music and gives hundreds of bands the chance to perform in venues around the city.
Exploring Brighton by day
With its laid-back vibe and seaside appeal, there's lots for everyone in hip Brighton. Wander The Lanes for a great array of eclectic boutiques where you can pick up anything from jewellery to clothes to a vegetarian lunch.
Brighton by night
Brighton really wakes up at night and you'll find a good selection of clubs and bars down by the arches on the seafront. There are plenty of quieter pubs around the city, seek out The Cricketers on The Lanes which has a lovely interior. You'll find great restaurants dotted around the place, or sample fish and chips on the seafront for something more low key.
