Like the city itself, shopping in cosmopolitan Brighton is a truly original experience. From the romantic charm of The Lanes and the exuberance of North Laine to the new Churchill Square, the stylish indoor shopping mall in the city centre, Brighton is a place where anything goes. A vibrant mix of high-street stores and small specialist shops selling a dazzling array of the exotic, the familiar or the weird and wonderful. Alongside your favourite brand and designer names, you’ll unearth antique jewellery, kites, tribal textiles and hand-made crafts. And a whole lot more.

This is a shopping experience which extends well beyond the shops. Make a full day of it, pausing here and there to sample the city’s many cafés, bars, pubs and restaurants. Stroll down to the Artists’ Quarter on the Beachfront for more shops and studios, and then onto a beachside café or bar to soak up the atmosphere. With all this, as well as a fabulous selection of theatres, cinemas, clubs, concerts and cabaret within one square mile, you can easily cover the area in a day. But you’ll probably want a lot longer.
