Brighton Walking Tour

Step away from the postcard sights and discover the hidden stories, creative corners and unexpected history woven through Brighton’s streets.

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 knowledgeable local guide, this walking tour takes you beyond the usual tourist trail and into the neighbourhoods, alleyways and hidden corners that reveal Brighton’s true character.

As you wander through the city, you’ll uncover layers of Brighton’s fascinating past — from its transformation from fishing village to fashionable seaside escape, to the artists, eccentrics and rebels who helped shape its unique identity. Along the route, you’ll explore vibrant cultural districts, historic streets, tucked-away lanes and lesser-known spots that many visitors walk straight past.

Alongside the famous landmarks, your guide will share local stories, surprising facts and insider knowledge that bring Brighton to life in a completely different way. Expect hidden architecture, independent spirit, seaside history and a deeper connection to the city beyond the beach.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or rediscovering your own city, this tour offers a fresh perspective on Brighton’s creative and unconventional soul.
