Car Boot Sale and Sunday Lunch
by amapola66
Pop up to the Sunday morning flea market/car boot sale, where you'll find all manner of strange and interesting articles for cheap. (The earlier, the better).
This used to be held held in the car park at the back of Brighton Station, but is now held a Brighton Marina (out of city center).. There are usually some familiar (for me anyway!) and friendly faces having a good old rummage there and a nice atmosphere.
Follow that with a tradtional British Sunday lunch. (Currently investigating the latest recommended). The Dorset in the center of town has always been a local favourite where you can sit out on the steret weather permitting.

THE PIER with an arcade and lots of fast food stalls, including the very English ‘Fish and Chips’. And so many sea-gulls!
BEWARE: Don't eat fish and chips at the stall at the end of the pier; they are DISGUSTING.
Rough Guide to Britain
by HORSCHECK
To explore Great Britain an up to date guidebook is very useful. I often use the Rough Guide to Britain (England, Wales, Scotland).
It covers information for all budgets on the best places to stay, eat and drink. Numerous recommendations and practical tips on exploring the countries make this book an useful travel companion.
Visit the surrounding villages
by USCgirlie
Near Brighton are some beautiful, charming villages such as the village of Rottingdean. Rottingdean is a very small village, with only a population of about 2000. It's a wonderful place for peaceful walks, looking through its bookstores which describes its history, and has some wonderful places where you can have a cuppa (cup of tea). Also near Brighton (4 km away, or 30 minutes by bus) is the village of Falmer with its gorgeous countryside (in the spring, you will see cows in the hillside!), ponds, and quaint houses. Falmer is also home to the University of Sussex. Don't be afraid to leave Brighton and explore the tiny adjoining villages! Both Rottingdean and Falmer are served by buslines from Brighton.

There is a real personal touch in this shop, and making a gift purchase needn't stretch the purse strings too much either - some items start from around a pound.
