/r/brighton
A subreddit for all of the lovely people that live in Brighton and Hove. It's okay, you're safe now.
Reddit for happenings in Brighton and Hove. The one in the UK.
Please join the Discord Group and Facebook Group for frequent updates on events.

Also please bare in mind this message at all times
Yes, we know the i360 looks like a cock ring.
Visiting or Moving?
Useful Links - Please Read before asking for help!
We have a wealth of information here built up over the years. Before asking a question about pubs/dining/what to go do please try the search function first. There's probably info you want here already. If not, check out the relevant megathread if it exists and ask there.
Events
We're a friendly city, and people move here all the time. Maybe they don't know anyone and want to meet some new friends? Maybe they just want a casual pint and a hangout?
If you have an idea for a meetup, then it's positively encouraged to post up about it here. No need to ask.
If people reach out and post up a meetup, please be open and welcoming.
Rules for Posting:
1. /r/brighton is an inclusive space
This subbreddit exists to serve as a community space for all residents of B&H regardless of their race/gender/sexuality. Any posts or comments which exclude, other or in insult a person based on these categories will not be tolerated. This includes (but is not limited to):
Racism/Homophobia/Transphobia/Sexism
Whilst there may be some situations where things only warrant a warning, the mod team can, and will, ban people that don't play by the above rule.
If you can't deal with people that are 'different' to you, maybe Brighton isn't The One.
2. Keep it classy
- Staying Classy can be broadly thought of as "not saying something which would get you punched by someone at a pub." Don't be a dick.
3. Keep it personalised
90% of the time posts are about questions that have been asked many times before. If your question is unique, be as specific and ‘personal’ to your request as possible.
Megathreads will shortly be created for some common topics. It will be highly encouraged going forward to keep said discussions in those threads to avoid clutter, and make it easier to find useful info. Don't be surprised if some low-hanging fruit gets deleted. If so, ask your question again in the main thread. This will help everyone in the long run.
If self-promotion posts are generic then they will be removed. This sub doesn't exist to help your SEO. However if they are genuinely interesting or inclined to help someone out (e.g I have a bike to give away) then they are fine. This includes small businesses. It’s fine to post semi-promotional as long as it adds value.
4. Keep It Interesting
This subreddit isn't nextdoor or your local facebook group. We want an interesting, fun community that celebrates everything Brighton has to offer.
The mod team may remove your thread/comment if it's not contributing anything interesting or useful to the community. Examples:
- 'Why is there a helicopter over X'
- Complaining or venting without asking a specific question, or trying to start a good faith discussion ('to the person who parked on the kerb on Elm Grove: you're a nob' etc.)
- Topics that have been done to death here over the years. (Yes. Parking is a PITA. Yes, the i360 is daft) If your intention is to spark a genuine discussion about something novel, then that's more than OK.

CALLING ALL LIAM'S
a bit of a longshot seeing as how few people living in brighton are on this sub, but if your name is Liam C and you're missing your parcels, please message me, they have been delivered to me by mistake!! I would bring them to you at the address on package but they are big boxes and I can't get them into my car atm. can provide evidence!
eta: forgot to mention but the postcode also does not line up with the road address, so am not entirely sure which is wring and where this was supposed to end up! also don't believe was sent with RM so cannot contact them, can't see any distinct signs anywhere to indicate who delivered it at all.

Silver earrings/gothic
New to Brighton. Got my ear pierced over summer. Looking to get a fresh earring. Can’t trust online stores or thrifts with the quality (I don’t want to get my new piercing infected). Please could somebody help me with suggestions on where to find (trusted quality) goth/designer silver earrings in the city?

In urgent need of somebody to take up my dress for my birthday party this weekend. Is anyone available? Kemptown?
I have my 30th birthday party this weekend, and my dress is too long and has a train at the back. I was going to bodge job it but my friend who was going to help me said it's not possible with the dress I have. I'm in desperate need of some assistance. I've reached out to a few clothes tailors but nobody has got back to me yet.
Please drop me a message if you can help! Thank you :)

Cheaper than AirBnB?
A student vet I know is looking for accommodation for a placement in Kemptown, it’s only for 12 days in April. He doesn’t have much in the way of resources, so is hoping for someplace reasonably priced.
I promised to have a look around, thinking about the YHA.. which just closed. A room in an AirBnB is the same price as a hotel room, which is pure luxury to him.
Any pointers for cheap accommodation please?

Christmas in Brighton
Been living in Brighton for 3 years now but this is the first year I'm gonna be spending in Brighton for Christmas. Normally I fly home to Ireland and Christmas and Boxing Day are spent seeing heaps of family and going for walks and swims.
I'll be taking it a lot easier this year but will still be keen to get out and do something. What are your Christmas and/or Boxing Day transitions in Brighton?
Or are there any big swims or other local events around those days?

Hobby Electronics Shop
I have a 3D printer and want to add some LEDs to a small lamp project. Is there a shop around Brighton & Hove that sells the sort of components I'd need to make it USB powered? I'm handy with a soldering iron so putting it together wouldn't be a bother, but I've never done this sort of project before.

Christmas decorations shop ideas?
We were in Brighton today, and bought some Christmas decorations for our tiny home on wheels. We need decorations on the smaller side as it’s such a small space! We found some bits in Asda, but does anyone have any other shop recommendations for decorations? Any decent charity shops or independents? Would love to hear your recommendations as we have only been in Brighton for a few months!
