Brighton is a city by the sea and, thanks to its fantastic road, rail and air links, its a city which has attracted millions of visitors in the past and continues to do so today.

Places of Interest in Brighton

Brighton’s long sea front has long been a great hit with the town’s tourists and, thanks to the Victorians, who loved their technology, this attraction can be enjoyed while travelling on the first public electric railway in the world, the Volks Railway. This runs all the way from Brighton Pier to Black Rock – the full length of the seafront. It is one of Brighton’s earliest tourist attractions and provides the visitor with yet another way to see the town and its coast.

Brighton has is fair number of representatives of the seafaring classes and could never, therefore feel complete without a marina. The Brighton Marina, which is located in the Kemp Town area of Brighton, is among the largest yachting marinas in the UK. Recent development here, however, mean that the Marina complex is much more than just yachts and it has been developed into a modern and attractive tourist area with its shops, cafés, restaurants and bars, along with a multi-screen cinema and a ten-pin bowling complex. Because of its location, pretty-well all of the facilities enjoy fantastic views of the harbour and make you want to simply sit, relax with a drink or two and enjoy the view. Regular boat trips are on offer from the Marina, both around the marina and the surrounding coast.

Brighton can make the shopper feel at home in Brighton by offering them not only all the outlets which are expected in one of the UK’s larger towns but something extra. That’s the possibility to escape from the High Street shops which are seen in monotonous regularity on every high street and to wander into a world of individual shops of every description in The Lanes – it’s a world long disappeared in most UK towns and cities. When you wander into the Lanes, you wander into a world of small, personally-owned shops. There’s shops of every description here, with antiques, gifts, jewellery, music, clothes – and every shop has its own individual identity. Mixed in with the shops are historic buildings, street entertainers and, of course, restaurants and cafés and atmospheric pubs in abundance. When you get into The Lanes, it’s difficult to imagine that you’re still in the busy seaside town of Brighton. Many people regard The Lanes as Brighton’s Secret Garden.

The Brighton Entertainment World

Brighton has been developing its entertainment offering ever since The Prince Regent discovered the town and is still doing so today. The modern visitor can justifiably complain that, in Brighton, they’re spoilt for choice!

The most-outstanding entertainment venue in Brighton has to be The Theatre Royal, as it is housed in an outstanding Grade II listed building which has almost 200 years of use as a theatre. This provides a wide mixture of theatrical events for the visitor, with everything from Noddy to The Sound of Music with Sleeping Beauty, Gilbert and Sullivan and Mozart in between. It doesn’t matter what it is you go to see as the experience is made all the more-pleasurable by the wonderful building to which The Prince of Wales gave the Royal Assent in the summer of 1806

Another venue which stages contemporary dance and drama performances is The Gardner Arts Centre. Here, visual arts, films, music and comedy are also presented. Of a more-traditional ‘seaside entertainment’ is that provided at The Pavilion Theatre where a range of entertainments including theatre, music, comedy and dance is provided. Similar shows are also put on at the Komedia.

Brighton cinema goers are also very well-catered for with the multiplex cinema at The Brighton Marina.

For many visitors, one of the the main attractions of the town is the Brighton nightlife and, as could be expected from the number of hen and stag parties held in the town, this too is an extensive and varied experience.

The Wining and Dining Experience

As a visitor to Brighton, you need have no worries about your appetite during your trip. The city boasts over 400 restaurants and can rightly claim to offer a menu to match every taste. As it’s a seaside town there are the expected beach front fry-ups with burgers and fish and chips but there are also restaurants which offer a traditional English cuisine. There is also the other end of the scale, with Brighton’s chic café culture and a great range of exclusive restaurants where even the most-discerning of palettes can be satisfied. Many of the earlier-humble pubs in Brighton have been transformed to cater for the types of visitor to the town and there’s many a great meal to be had in a modern Brighton public house!

Brighton Accommodation

Brighton offers a wide range of accommodation from Bed and Breakfast to five-star hotels, catering for all the different types of visitors who choose the resort. This leaves the visitor free to choose whether they seek the family-run atmosphere of a small B&B or to meet their fellow backpackers in a hostel. For the deeper-pocketed visitor, who wishes to be pampered and treated as royalty at one of the exclusive and elegant seafront hotels, there’s a rich choice of quality hotels. With a bit of research, you can find exactly what you are looking for.

Your Welcome to Brighton

It matters not who you are or from where you came, there’ll be a welcome in Brighton and its sister town Hove. If you’re looking for more facts, figure and photos or just looking for Brighton things to do, please do give our web site a visit and plan your visit to Brighton and Hove.

Hello, I’m Alice and I love travel. I love to meet the people where I go and to hear what they think of the world – and particularly of their home town. However, most of all, I love Brighton. Every time I visit the place, I find something new to enjoy. I’m amazed at the variety of experiences which it has to offer. I can’t see how any visitor, whether they’re with their family, on their own or with a bunch of stags or hens, can fail to have a good time.

It’s not just what’s on offer in Brighton which impresses me, it’s the ease of availability of everything. Perhaps it’s because Brighton is such a compact place or perhaps it’s because they – the locals – have been doing it for so long that they’ve got good – no really, really good – at welcoming the visitor. They do have an unfair advantage though, when they’ve got a town that’s so well-blessed with attractions, is so well situated, has geat accommodation, fantastic restaurants and has such good connections with the rest of the world. Still, let’s not get jealous, let’s just get along to Brighton and enjoy the things to do there!

Online is a great way to shop as you can sit in the comfort of your own home with a cup of tea and shop to your hearts content and many online jewellery suppliers ship to you next day as long as you order before a certain time in the day. A few I have ordered from in the past include Fire Mountain Gems, Rings ‘n’ Things, Beadsunlimited and some eBay shops.

The service for me has been great although I do sometimes get clobbered with the shipping costs because I live in England but most of the time it’s well worth it for the unusual items that are available. For silver I use a couple of the above stores but I like Cookson Precious Metals, they have a great line in silver and don’t just sell wire!

eBay is a good source for jewellery making supplies too as there are shops now that are dedicated to selling jewellery making items and beads and although a lot of the time it’s the price you would pay in a shop, you have the same rights as if you bought online or in a physical store and you have the added excitement of being able to bid for an item and perhaps not having to pay full price!

My most favourite way of shopping though is going to an actual shop and being able to pick up beads, feel the texture and soak up the atmosphere. There is a little bead shop opened recently in my town and another about 10 miles away from where I live which incorporates jewellery making classes too. Many times have I dreamt of setting up my own little store complete with coffee stop and magazines…

My most favourite jewellery making supplies shop in England is in Brighton and it’s called The Brighton Bead Shop or if you shop online beadsunlimited. I love Brighton anyway so having the bead shop there is a complete bonus for a bead addict like me.

Making silver jewellery

Now you can either go down the route of buying your sterling silver findings already made, which is a route I strongly recommend for a newbie to jewellery making, or you can make your own sterling jewellery out of sterling wire and sheet.

To make sterling silver jewellery you will need your basic jewellery making tools as well as sterling silver wire. Sterling silver wire comes in ‘gauges’ and sometimes instead of a gauge, you will find a number like 0.03 which is inches. You can find wire converters online which are great if you’re anything like me and can never remember what 0.3 is in a gauge!

If you want to make your own adjustable sterling silver ring you need to use about six inches of 18ga (0.04inches) wire and you will need either a mandrel or a piece of wooden dowel. In very basic terms, curl one end of the wire so it forms a small snails shell shape about 1/4in diameter then veer so slightly bend the straight piece of wire just by the end of the snails shell you have just made.  Wrap the wire around the mandrel/dowel passing the middle of the wire, so it overlaps slightly.  Once you’ve done this, slightly bend the wire again and make another snail shell shape with the other end of the wire, forming it inwards from the outside of the spiral (this can be a bit tricky) and if there is any wire left, snip it off with your wire cutters and smooth it with a small file so there are no sharp ends.

I love helping people fulfill their dreams and ideals and I have been making jewellery for around seven years now. I am a published author and teacher, both offline and online.

Scarlettʼs new collection for Spring/Summer 2010 is inspired by the forthcoming Chelsea Flower Show.

Visitors to the worldʼs most prestigious flower show will be offered an exclusive preview from the Scarlett Stand EA/8 from 24 – 29th May.

Sarah Fenton, Scarlettʼs designer was inspired by Britainʼs best-loved wild flowers. ʻThereʼs nothing more heavenly than walking through woods carpeted with bluebells in May or the bobbing of buttercups marking the onset of Springʼ says Sarah. The delicate shapes of wild flowers have been exquisitely captured into a nostalgic jewellery collection, with a whimsical, feminine appeal, evoking scenes from bucolic, British, rural landscapes.

Each design has its own meaning, inspired by the Victorian Language of Flowers. The art of floriography was a kind of secret code between the reserved Victorians under the reign of Queen Victoria, enabling them to
express their innermost passions through almost all plants and flowers. A posy became a coded message of love to be deciphered using one of the many floriography dictionaries available in the day.

Insects that thrive in British gardens and hedgerows are also highlighted in a limited edition collection, especially for the show. Dragonflies, ladybirds and butterflies alight on bangles, necklaces and rings, as if nature has just flown out of the hedgerows and landed on your finger. Visitors can be tempted to create their own bespoke jewellery as pieces can be customized and made to order in Scarlettʼs Brighton workshop.

Gardeners will appreciate be the new ʻGreenfingersʼ Mojo, the latest addition to Scarlettʼs best selling Mojo collection. Scarlett Mojos are a range of talisman beads, etched with inspirational messages to be worn on necklaces, bracelets and bangles. These symbolic beads will add a touch of humour to a jewellery box without breaking the bank. Mojos are available in either sterling silver at a very reasonable £27 or in 9 carat gold, starting from £60.

A truly beautiful mans wedding ring.

Handmade by Jeremy Hoye of Brighton with no costs spared and unlike his standard design I have had a .20 diamond inserted into the ring as an added extra.  This ring cost me in excess of £600.

This ring is second hand after a 2 year marriage (mine) that did not go too well.  I have had the engraving removed from the inside of the ring so all that you will see is the stamp for White and yellow gold and the Jeremy Hoye stamp.  I would post the marks but my eye sight is not that good.

I believe the size is a T but I will confirm as soon as possible.

I HAVE HAD THE RING MEASURED AT A LOCAL JEWLERS AND IT CAM UP AS A ‘T &1/2′
