The seaside resort town of Brighton is considered the LGBTQ+ Capital of the United Kingdom. Elegant eateries, stylish boutiques and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere led this charming city to be a favorite among gay travelers. There is plenty to see here to keep you busy.
The neighborhood of Kemptown is the heart of the LGTBQ+ community in Brighton and home to a charming, village appeal. The city’s most popular bars can be found here, including Legends, Revenge and the trendy Charles Street. Doctor Brighton’s is also a great option that offers beachfront views and a laidback atmosphere.
Brighton Pride is the largest Pride event in the United Kingdom, but the city also hosts the annual Trans Pride festival in the summer. If you’re looking for unique opportunities to tour the city’s most historic and significant spots, consider signing up for the Piers & Queers Tour of the city. It’s a fantastic way to explore the beautiful piers Brighton is known for while also getting a little insight into the storied LGBTQ+ history of the town.
When it’s time to eat, be sure to stop by The New Club for a delicious brunch in a setting meant to mimic a NYC diner. As a seaside town you’d be crazy not to sample some of the excellent options offered up at Regency Restaurant.
The inclusive atmosphere of Brighton means you can’t go wrong staying in any of the city’s numerous accommodations, but the Queens Hotel and Blanch House are exceptional choices located near all of the hot spots.
