Wander through Brighton’s winding backstreets, hidden alleyways and independent food spots on a sweet city adventure celebrating the best doughnuts Brighton has to offer.
This experience is part of City Uncovered: Brighton, taking place from 1st–14th June 2026 — a limited-time series of unique, under-the-radar experiences designed to help you see the city differently.
Led by a local guide, this indulgent walking tour takes you beyond the seafront and into the colourful lanes, tucked-away cafés and independent bakeries that make Brighton’s food scene so unique.
As you explore the city’s historic streets and creative neighbourhoods, you’ll stop at a carefully selected collection of doughnut spots, sampling everything from classic freshly baked favourites to inventive flavours and artisan creations. Along the way, your guide will share stories about Brighton’s history, alternative culture and hidden corners many visitors never discover.
Expect cobbled lanes, independent makers, plenty of sweet treats and a completely different way to experience Brighton through flavour and storytelling.
By the end of the tour, you’ll have uncovered some of the city’s best hidden foodie gems — and probably found a new favourite doughnut too.

Doughnut lovers and sweet-toothed explorers
Curious locals and Brighton visitors
Couples, friends and solo adventurers

Joe was an absolutely great guide! I learned so much about Brighton and tried tons of great donuts. Would recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about Brighton and try some good food!
The tour begins from Glazed - Next Level Donuts And Coffee (25 Ditchling Rd, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN1 4SB).
We've always had a passion for donuts, but only recently did we realize just how many others do too. And when looking around, we didn't see anything that truly celebrated donuts in all their glory, hence the Underground Donut Tour was born. The Underground Donut Tour has been running for over 7 years now and was started as a passion project by Jeff Woelker, Chicago donut fanatic. Jeff has worked in marketing for most of his career, but has always had a passion for donuts. The tour started with only Jeff as the tour guide, but now we have 100 people working across 5 countries!
Joe is both our manager for Brighton, but also one of our best tour guides. Joe is an expert on the Brighton donut scene along with numerous other aspects of life in Brighton. You're going to get along smashingly!
