Diverse Brighton!

Overview

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside…!  Brighton is a wonderful example of a British seaside town and a delightful destination for a school trip.

This itinerary immerses your students right in the centre of Brighton’s arty culture, with pottery workshops, gallery trips, visits to independent shops and more.  You will also have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the fun, quirky side of Brighton with visits to the i360 Tower and Brighton Pier.

Of course, no trip to Brighton is complete without visiting the beach!

Our Suggested Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Depart School and travel to Brighton.

    Travel up the i360 Tower, the world’s tallest moving observation tower, and take in the spectacular views of Brighton!

    Then, take part in a painting and pottery workshop at The Painting Potter Café.  After your artwork is done you can leave it to glaze and fire and then return back on the last day to collect your pottery!

    In the evening, enjoy a restaurant meal before heading back to your accommodation.

  2. Day 2

    Spend the morning shopping and exploring The Lanes, a collection of narrow lanes famous for small independent shops, antique shops, jewellers and more!

    Pay a visit to The Royal Pavilion, the city’s must-see attraction.  The glittering party pad and palace of King George IV is one of the most opulent buildings in England.

    Afterwards, explore the Brighton Museum & Art Gallery. Set in the Royal Pavilion’s renovated stables, this museum and art gallery has a glittering collection of 20th-century art and design, including a crimson Salvador Dalí sofa modelled on Mae West.

    Spend the rest of your afternoon enjoying some leisure time on Brighton beach!

  3. Day 3

    In the morning, take a walk down Brighton Pier!  This grand old Edwardian pier is the place to experience Brighton’s fun side.  There are plenty of stomach-churning fairground rides and amusement arcades to keep you entertained.

    Before heading home, head back to Brighton beach and take advantage of being by the sea!

    Don't forget to collect your pottery!
