Seaside / BRIGHTON

Brighton Palace Pier

Walk out over the water for Brighton’s classic combination of sea views, amusements and a lively pier atmosphere. A brief look around and a longer rides visit are different outings: decide which you want before buying a package. The open deck is part of the experience, even when you spend time in the arcades.

Before you go

General entry is charged during peak periods between March and October, with listed exemptions. Rides and games have their own costs; do not assume that paying to enter includes them.

The practical details

Where to find it: Madeira Drive, Brighton BN2 1TW, opposite the Old Steine seafront junction.
Directions and arrival information ↗
Tickets and booking: Check the date-specific opening calendar and current admission rules. Rides availability can change with weather or maintenance, so verify a must-do ride directly.

Official access information ↗
Visiting with children: Check the height and other restrictions for the rides your children actually want before buying wristbands. Agree a games budget and keep an outdoor break flexible in windy weather.
