🌱 Brighton: A City That Thrives Sustainably

Brighton isn’t just known for its seaside charm and vibrant culture—it’s also one of the UK’s greenest and most eco-conscious cities. From community gardens and refill shops to eco-markets and cycle-friendly streets, Brighton shows that sustainability can be woven into everyday life.

Independent businesses lead the way: cafés serving plant-based menus, zero-waste stores offering package-free essentials, and fashion boutiques championing upcycled and ethical clothing. For visitors, it means you can enjoy the city while supporting choices that make a positive impact. For locals, it’s a lifestyle rooted in pride and responsibility.

But sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a movement. And Brighton’s small businesses are at the heart of it, proving that every refill, every recycled product, and every mindful meal makes a difference.

At BrightonThrive.co.uk, we highlight these eco-conscious businesses, making it easier for visitors and locals to find and support them. Because when local business thrives, the planet does too.

🏰 Royal Pavilion – Brighton’s Exotic Icon

Step into Brighton’s most extraordinary landmark: the Royal Pavilion. Built for King George IV, this palace looks like it belongs in India or China rather than a British seaside city. With its onion domes, minarets, and lavish interiors, the Pavilion is unlike anywhere else in the UK.

For centuries, it’s been Brighton’s jewel—a place where history, architecture, and imagination collide. Visitors marvel at its design, wander through its gardens, and leave with a story they’ll never forget.

But after the tour, they’re not heading home—they’re looking for a place to eat, shop, or relax nearby. That’s where local businesses shine.

At BrightonThrive.co.uk, we connect the dots between Brighton’s iconic landmarks and the cafés, shops, and services that make every visit complete.

🌊 Hidden Gem: Brighton Undercliff Walk

Not all of Brighton’s treasures are loud and colourful—some are peaceful escapes right by the sea.

The Undercliff Walk, stretching from Brighton Marina to Saltdean, is one of the city’s best-kept secrets. With the dramatic chalk cliffs on one side and the open sea on the other, it’s a breathtaking route for walkers, runners, and cyclists alike.

Along the way, you’ll find cafés serving seaside snacks, quiet spots perfect for a rest, and views that make you stop in your tracks. It’s Brighton at its most natural and serene—a reminder that the city is more than just its buzzing streets.

At BrightonThrive.co.uk, we highlight gems like this and connect explorers to the businesses nearby that make their adventure complete.

🍴 Brighton Bites: A Foodie’s Paradise

Brighton isn’t just a seaside city—it’s a feast for the senses. Wander through its streets and you’ll discover why it’s one of the UK’s most exciting food destinations.

From award-winning vegan cafés that put Brighton on the plant-based map, to cosy seafood spots serving the freshest catch of the day, the city’s food scene is as diverse as its people. You’ll find craft breweries pouring local ales, artisan bakeries with queues out the door, and international flavours from every corner of the world tucked into lively side streets.

Visitors don’t just come here to see the sea—they come to taste Brighton. Food festivals, bustling markets, and hidden gems tucked away in The Lanes make eating out an adventure of its own.

But behind every dish and every drink is a local business with a story. And those stories deserve to be shared.

At BrightonThrive.co.uk, we connect explorers with the restaurants, cafés, pubs, and food stalls that give Brighton its unique flavour. Because a trip to the seaside should always come with something delicious.

🎨 Brighton: The UK’s Street Art Capital

Brighton wears its creativity on its walls. From tucked-away alleys to wide city murals, the city is alive with colour, ideas, and self-expression. It’s no wonder Brighton has earned a reputation as the UK’s street art capital.

Some works are bold and political, others playful and surreal. Many visitors come specifically to seek them out—snapping photos in front of iconic murals like Banksy’s Kissing Coppers (once found in a Brighton pub) or stumbling across hidden gems that transform blank walls into open-air galleries.

But street art isn’t just about paint—it’s about place. Art trails guide visitors through neighbourhoods, and along the way, they stop for coffee, browse vintage shops, or grab lunch in a tucked-away café. Businesses turn from landmarks into part of the art journey.

At BrightonThrive.co.uk, we make sure those businesses stand out. Because when explorers hunt for murals, they’re also looking for the experiences that complete their day.

🎡 Brighton Palace Pier: More Than Amusements

Step onto the boards of Brighton Palace Pier, and you’re stepping into over 120 years of seaside history. Since opening in 1899, the pier has been the stage for countless summer holidays, first dates, family days out, and moments that linger in memory.

The scent of candy floss and fresh doughnuts mixes with sea air as gulls wheel overhead. Children’s laughter echoes from the rides, while couples stroll hand-in-hand, pausing to admire the sparkling view of Brighton’s coastline. From the old-time amusements to the thrill of the rollercoasters, the pier is both nostalgia and excitement rolled into one.

But Brighton isn’t just about the pier—it’s about what surrounds it too. Visitors spill off the boards and into nearby cafés, restaurants, shops, and bars, turning a seaside day into a full Brighton adventure.

At BrightonThrive.co.uk, we put those local businesses on the map. Because behind every perfect day at the pier is a business that makes it possible.

✨ The Lanes: Brighton’s Timeless Treasure

There’s something enchanting about The Lanes. Wander through their winding cobbled alleys and you’ll find antique shops brimming with curiosities, independent boutiques bursting with personality, and cafés where the aroma of fresh coffee mingles with the sound of buskers playing just around the corner.

Once part of the original fishing village of Brighthelmstone, The Lanes have evolved into a vibrant maze where history and creativity meet. It’s the kind of place where visitors lose track of time—one moment you’re admiring vintage jewellery, the next you’re sharing tapas in a tucked-away courtyard.

But behind the charm are the businesses that bring The Lanes to life every single day. Without them, it’s just streets and stones. With them, it’s an experience that people travel across the country to enjoy.

At BrightonThrive.co.uk, we shine a light on those cafés, shops, galleries, and services—because The Lanes wouldn’t be The Lanes without you.
