Sun, sea and er, well rain most of the time. But when the sun does manage to shine through the thick layer of grey clouds, hop on a train and ride on to Brighton. Not only can you soak up those much missed rays, but there is plenty of other stuff to do when you're done with having fun in the sun or if the sun doesn't shine. Walk along the boulevard and have a look at the tacky attractions on the Brighton pier. Suck on a candied apple and hop on a ride or two. Watch the waves beat against the pillars and feel the salty air blow through your hair. Even on a sunny winter's day it's nice to hang out here. is there a wide range of all the high street shops, but if you walk over to the Brighton Lanes, North Laine and the North Street Area you'll find a myriad of streets lined with quirky clothing shops, cosy organic cafes and bohemian bars with live music. Bag those vintage shoes at Beyond Retro or browse for antique pieces at The Antique House. After an afternoon of shopping, indulge in a coffee and a giant tuna panini at organic LoveFit Cafe on Brighton Square. For dinner try some of the tasty dishes that are on the eclectic menu at Nia restaurant on Trafalgar Street. If after all that you're still not ready to go to bed show off your talents at Lucky Voice on Black Lion Street. It's great for people who love karaoke but are a bit shy. This place has 7 private Karaoke rooms so you don't have to worry about embarrassing yourself before a full audience.
