Other Attractions in Brighton
There are plenty of additional places to see on your visit
to Brighton & Hove.
It's worth exploring one or two of Brighton & Hove's museums
and art galleries.
And a visit to The Lanes is a "must" - even if you're not
keen on shopping!
 Admission
to the museum is free and contains a large collection of
British creatures (including birds, whales, skeletons and
more) set amidst a backdrop of what would have been their
natural surroundings.
Over half a million specimens and natural history literature
and data extending back over three centuries are here, including
hundreds of British birds displayed in recreated natural
settings. Plus butterflies, skeletons, a whale and dinosaur
bones. The Discovery
Laboratory offers interactive displays exploring
the Booth's collections.
In some ways it’s rather eerie,
but certainly worth a visit.

 This
building's claim to fame is that the first ever cinematic
movie to be played in Britain was done so in Hove. And you
can catch it here among a number of additional interesting
displays.
Following major redevelopment, Hove Museum & Art Gallery
has been transformed into a centre of learning and enjoyment
for people of all ages. The Museum's permanent collections
have been redisplayed in exciting new galleries.
The museum is in New Church Road, Hove.

 Enjoy a bit of shopping?
There’s a wonderful mix of quaint little shops as well
as fashionable new boutiques in “the lanes”,
a narrow maze of tiny streets that would delight the heart
of any self-respecting shopper. Also found in this region
are some charming little restaurants and cafes.
 The Lanes is the oldest area of Brighton. After the
village was burnt to the ground by French invaders in the
16th century, it was rebuilt along the same streets. The
town was bordered by three roads - West Street, East Street
and North Street covering an area approximately one square
mile.
Although some of the buildings have been modernised or replaced,
the narrow streets give us a good idea of what medieval Brighton
was like.
Officially
the second largest arts festival in Britain, the Brighton
Festival is a huge event, with a huge compilation of music,
dance and theatre from artisans all over the world.
It's usually held over a few weeks in May.
Keep in touch with details of the next festival on their
website.
