🎡 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.

👉 Own a business in The Lanes? Add your listing today and let explorers find you as they wander Brighton’s most magical maze.
