The Brighton story - Walking Tour

If you have spent any time in Brighton, you have likely walked past the Brighton Palace Pier countless times without giving much thought to the history embedded in the streets surrounding it. On April 24, 2026, there is a 90-minute walking tour titled The Brighton story that aims to cover the ground between the seafront and the city's older quarters. It is led by a local guide and follows a route that takes in the old town, the Lanes, and the North Laine area, which are familiar spots but often seen without much context.

The tour is scheduled to start at 14:00, with the meeting point set right under the clock at the main entrance of the Brighton Palace Pier. Over the course of an hour and a half, the walk touches on several specific landmarks, including Brighton Beach, the i360, the Royal Pavilion, and the Brighton Dome. It also includes stops at some of the more specific local points of interest like the 'Kissing Wall', the historic cottage of Martha Gunn, and the 'Quadrophenia Passage'. Because the route covers these central areas, it is designed to be accessible for those using wheelchairs, and it also accommodates strollers and service animals.

Regarding the logistics, this is a ticketed event with a price point of approximately 27.50 dollars per person. Since the tickets are digital and non-refundable, it is worth checking your schedule before booking. The tour is generally open to anyone interested in the city's background, whether you are a student or just someone looking to spend an afternoon walking through the city with a bit more information about what you are looking at. Given that it is a guided experience, booking in advance is recommended to secure a spot for the 14:00 start time.
