Bank Holiday Brighton

[giggirl]

I'm in Brighton with my bitches this weekend. Staying at the Metropole. Any fabulous suggestions?

I'm told the drag at Legends Hotel is worth catching. I'm totally up for eyeballing something glamorous in a frock so that's a possibility. I'm bringing my walking shoes so I can walk myself bug-eyed and burn off the necessary calories to warrant a plate of fish and chips. Otherwise I'm devoid of any ideas. Suggestions welcome.

See the Pavilion.

I'm on my way.

Ooohhh Steve that's worth considering. I've been to Brighton a zillion times and never been inside the Pavilion. I'm guessing it's a poor man's Versailles? Would that be a good guess?

ABBA won the eurovision song contest there so it's hallowed ground and a 'must see' !

if you fancy a night on the tiles there is always something good on at the volks and there are loads of great bars in those archways under the main promenade, really nice as you can spill out onto the beach if you feel like it. during the day the lanes are good for a bit of shopping, and there are lots of good places to eat and drink. I know a pub that does THE BEST roast I have ever tasted (better than mum's - is it sacralige to say that?), but can't remember the name, will try and find it out from my mates that live there.

I don't know about the similarities with Versailles, but the pavilion is definitely worth the time and trouble.

There used to be some great secondhand book shops and stuff, in the 'lanes' but have not been for many years.
