Synopsis

The UK's most outrageous guidebook returns in its sixth incarnation, packed with photos and illustrations, and written exclusively by people who actually live in the city. The hardcore information you need is here, with reviews of the best of:

• Brighton pubs
• Brighton cafés (and one in Hove)
• Brighton restaurants
• Brighton clubs
• Brighton hotels
• Shops of every possible type, from vintage clothing to vintage sweets, Art Deco sofas to artisan chocolate, comics and conga drums
• Music venues, theatres, and cinemas
• Tourist attractions
• Locales, including the famous Brighton Lanes, North Laine and Kemptown

On top of all that there's extensive coverage of tattooists and piercing parlours, therapists, herbalists, the gay scene, fetish clubs, vegetarian food outlets, what to do in the sea and which beach to do it from, where to ride a llama, a what's on guide to regular events like Brighton Festival and The Burning Of The Clocks, features on local eccentrics and information on how to spot local celebrities, complete with a point-scoring system that ranges from 9 (Zoella) to 37 (Nick Cave).

Factual and humorous, the guide takes a frank look at both the joys and disappointments of the town; from the horrors of Brighton's concrete monstrosity the Marina to the glories of North Laine's wealth of independent boutiques and the town's flamboyant entertainment scene.

And there's even a bit about Hove. Don't worry though, it's only three pages.

About this title

Product Description

The UK's most outrageous guidebook returns, boasting hundreds of photos, illustrations by local artists and a build-it-yourself cardboard model of the i360 observation tower. As always pubs, clubs, hotels and tourist attractions are amply covered, but with Cheeky Guides being as much about people as places, in this edition you'll find features on local eccentrics, grumpy shopkeepers, moustachioed cads and artists, as well as information on how to spot local celebrities, complete with a point-scoring system that ranges from 9 (Zoella) to 37 (Nick Cave).
