Museums

The Booth Natural History museum a wonderfully quirky – if a little macabre – museum just outside of town. There’s also an open air theatre nearby. See other museums.

Sea swimming

Getting in the sea is a big thing in Brighton. The beach by the piers can get rough – which might be your thing! – but if you’re able to get out of town, Kingston Beach has a good scene (and also a sauna).
