Things to do in Brighton

[nyecamden]

Hello lovelies.

I'm going to Brighton with reddragdiva this weekend, and I'd be interested in suggestions of things to do in the day and on Saturday night. I definitely want to visit the beach and possibly pier, have a look around the Lanes. I've been to the Pavilion before, and it's such a mad place; may want to show it to D

D'oh your coming down this way right when i'll be up in london for the weekemd!
I tend not to do touritsty things in Brighton because kind of too close to home.
The sea life centre is really quite pretty but pricey. They don't have dolphins or anything else that would be unhappy in captivity.
If you like chocolate Chooccywoccydodah's salon du chocolat is a must.
Both the lanes and the North laines (no i've never worked out why they are spelt differently) are good for wandering around.
I like Hove museum because it has a contemporary craft gallery and one about toys. And it has a lovely tea shop. Brighton Museum is good for costume and anthropology and even has a small area about body art, and quite a bit of LGBT stuff. They are both open on sundays which is handy.
And i like the lego shop in churchill square cos it has a lego pick and mix. There are also these wierd sculptures outside of the churchill square shops that play odd ambient music based on the local sunshine and weather records if you out your ears up to them.
Kemptown is good for second hand shops and the Sussex Beacon shop at the bottom of St James street sometimes has pervy stuff and books of teh gay

I'm glad you replied :-)

I wasn't looking to be sociable with friends this time, want to concentrate on me/D in a fun environment.

The chocolate place looks interesting, but their website is *awful*. So many distractions from the text!

I may be interested in some of the other things you suggested, will see how much energy I have and what D wants to do.
