Gay Brighton

LGBTQ+ Brighton

Brighton is often called the UK’s gay capital, with a seaside setting that adds charm to its vibrant scene. The city’s LGBTQ+ community is visible year-round, from the beach to the pubs and clubs lining St James’s Street. By day, Brighton offers pebble beaches, the iconic pier and quirky shopping in The Lanes.

At night, the focus shifts to Kemp Town, where bars and clubs stay busy with locals and visitors. Pride in August is the highlight, bringing one of the largest celebrations in the country, but there are plenty of smaller events across the calendar. Brighton’s mix of seaside relaxation and energetic nightlife makes it a unique destination. The atmosphere is friendly, laid-back and welcoming, with something for every type of traveler. Whether you want cocktails by the beach, clubbing until dawn or lazy afternoons in cafés, Brighton combines it all with a coastal backdrop.
