There's something for everyone in Brighton
Autumn in Brighton is a special kind of magic — where seaside charm meets crisp coastal air, golden sunsets, and a city alive with culture.
As the summer crowds drift away, Brighton & Hove transforms into a haven for friends, couples, families, and business travellers alike. Wander through The Lanes and North Laine, discovering artisan shops, seasonal markets, and warming local food. Take in the sea views with a brisk walk along the iconic pier, then settle into a cosy café or restaurant for your favourite dishes and conversation.
When evening falls, the city glows with a different kind of energy. From lively pubs and intimate wine bars to music venues that keep the nights buzzing, Brighton’s autumn is made for those who want both relaxation and adventure.
To make your stay even sweeter, we’re offering 10% off all rooms and 15% off bookings of 3+ nights. This year we’re also celebrating 25 years of the New Steine Hotel — join us as we mark this milestone with warmth, style, and plenty of cheer.
