It attracts people of all ages and backgrounds, and is one of the most culturally diverse places in the UK. There is a nearby university, which ensures that there are plenty of young people around, and there are plenty of people at the other end of the scale too; those who have been visiting Brighton for years and years, since it was but little more than a small, sleepy fishing village.

Brighton has been a family holiday destination since the mid-1800s when rail transport began to be accessible by the masses. There are so many things for young children to see and do, such as fairgrounds, shows, amusement arcades and other amenities. It is a perfect place for you to wear out your little scallywags!
