Yesterday we had an underwater adventure at Brighton’s Sealife Centre. If you’ve never been before it’s easy to find: head to the pier and you can’t miss it! You can access is from the street or from the beach and there is plenty of parking on Madeira Drive (though it’s not free so publish transport is probably cheaper!) Brighton Sealife Centre is the oldest aquarium in the world still operating, and there is a lot…
This coming Saturday we will be going into Brighton to see a showing of Oskar’s Amazing Adventure at the Komedia in Brighton. We’ve been sent the book in advance so we could get used to the story and find out what Oscars adventure is all about. Both my kids absolutely love live performances but they also love reading so it’s really nice to be able to introduce them to the story before we go and see…
As I’m away on holiday my friend and fellow Brighton-deweller Dakota has offered to write a post for me! Over to her… I’ll make no bones about it; I love living in Brighton. Not because of the beach, although it’s still my favourite spot for a BBQ in summer, and not because of the people, although I maintain that they are some of the friendliest and most accepting folk you’ll find in the whole country.…
Brighton is amazing, I love it as a city so much; it’s vibrant, unique, there is so much to do and I’ll never get bored of it. It’s just a shame that having kids meant we were priced out of the market when it came to buying in the city! I lived right in the city centre for most of my 20’s; opposite the train station and on Gardner Street opposite the Komedia and I…
On Tuesday the kids and I headed to the Theatre Royal in New Road, Brighton. We’d been invited to see the stage adaptation of The First Hippo on the Moon, the book by David Walliams. If you’ve read the book you’ll know it doesn’t take long to read, so I was wondering how it would translate to a stage show. We had seats in the circle so had a great view of the stage. I’m…
Last week we were invited for a meal at The Sportsman in Withdean, North Brighton as they’ve recently had a refurb and rebrand – they’re now a Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery restaurant. The Sportsman is at Withdean Stadium and has a large dining room, a spacious bar area and outside tables, though sadly it was raining so we stayed inside! The menu is really varied, covering everything you’d expect to find on a pub menu, but…
It’s no secret that I love to eat, and though both kids love to eat they don’t always love to eat the right things! Thankfully pasta is one of the things they do really enjoy, so a big bowl of pasta to dig into is right up their street. Prezzo have introduced family sharing dishes called ‘La Famigliana’ and we headed to Brighton Marina’s Prezzo to fill our bellies on Monday lunchtime. My kids have…
