Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Worthing

"One of the symbols of Brighton, this flamboyantly iconic royal building is actually great for visiting with kids. You can buy a kids’ trail for a small fee (50p when we visited) spotting some of the animals dotted throughout the opulent rooms, or just amuse yourself finding all the dragons at the Royal Pavilion. And staff will actively encourage you to have a lie down on the carpet in the music room to see the chandelier rising to the gold patterned ceiling."

"This list wouldn't be complete without Brighton's Royal Pavilion. This historic building is one of the most exotic buildings in England. The dazzling architecture is the perfect subject for a pic, and with hundreds of rooms, you'll never be short of a pic for the 'gram."

"With its observation pod rising to 138m up the 162m high tower, the i360 is the country’s highest observation tower outside London. Right on the seafront looking out to the old West Pier, there’s also a beachside cafe. On a clear day you can see for miles along the coast, with the city’s the best views since the Brighton ferris wheel was closed."

"Situated in one of the town's most iconic landmarks, The Sky Bar is providing you with 360 degree views of Brighton and beyond. Enjoy drinks 450 feet above the ground while taking in jaw-dropping scenes that stretch out across an incredible 26 miles."

"The world’s oldest operating aquarium, it’s only a shell’s throw away from the sea itself with more than 150 creatures to see at the Brighton Sea Life Centre. Set in striking Victorian building, there are regular special exhibitions, as well as a variety of different underwater habitats, stamp trail, behind the scenes tour, and plenty more to discover including the UK’s first glass-bottom boat inside, activities for kids and the now obligatory underwater tunnel. The newest addition is the special Day and Night area showing how the oceans change over the course of 24 hours, including a bioluminescent beach."

"One stop on the train from the centre of Brighton is a stately home in the Preston Village suburb. Preston Manor has existed since 1086 at the latest, when it was mentioned in the Domesday book. The manor house is mostly Palladian from the 18th century, but there are taces of a 13th-century building in the basement, while the north facade was remodelled in 1905."

"Preston Manor can be found on the grounds of Preston Park, Brighton’s largest green space. A visit provides an insight into life in the Edwardian era. The original structure dates back to the 13th century."

"In amongst this picturesque park, you’ll find the tranquil rockery which will bring an air of calm to your busy weekend in this non-stop city. Relaxing, beautiful and a surefire Insta winner, it’s well worth a little visit. @acreswildgardendesign"

"It is the perfect spot for picnics, sports, or just sitting in the park. It also serves as a prominent venue for concerts, circuses, fairs and so on. The Preston Twins, the world’s largest and oldest Elm trees are also found here."

"Located in the lovely setting of Priory Park, it was built during the 1270s by Franciscans in the design of a church. In the past it has played a central role in the government of Chichester. Most notably in the trial of the mystic poet and artist William Blake, who was tried there for treason."

"The Church of the Holy Trinity is a Greek Orthodox church in Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. Built in 1838 in one of Brighton's most notorious slum districts, Carlton Hill, it was an Anglican church for most of its life: dedicated to St John the Evangelist, it was used by the Anglican community until it was declared redundant in 1980. After some uncertainty about its future, it was sold to Brighton's Greek Orthodox community in 1985 and has been used as their permanent place of worship since then."

"A flagship reserve of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, you can walk the 2.5-mile path around the marshes to see many different birds – including dark–bellied brent geese, redshanks, short–eared owls, warblers and wheatears. Visit the Trust's website for more information on the wildlife and to download an illustrated map."

"I used to live right alongside this park and walked a neighbour’s dog here every weekend (Poppet) who was a well known staffy, with the cutest smile. The park was a decent size, while there are plenty of squirrels to feed in the trees. There are 8 tennis courts, however they are largely all used during the summer months, so you have to get there early if you fancy a game on a hot Saturday."

"St Ann's Well Gardens, not far from Hove seafront, is a treat for the tree-lover and will appeal to young and old alike. There is a wide range of native and exotic trees giving the gardens their unique character and providing shelter and tranquillity for wildlife."

"In the southwest corner of Chichester’s wall circuit is a charming garden, looked after by Chichester District Council but not in the register or parks and gardens. You can get in via the Bishop’s Palace Cannon Gate on Canon Lane to be dazzled by immaculate formal flowerbeds against the evocative backdrop of the old walls. The arboretum has some 100 exotic and rare trees, while there’s an Alpine garden, a wildlife garden and a rose pergola entwined with clematis, honeysuckle and climbing roses."

Whether you are a Chinese by blood or a regular Tom who has developed an acquired taste for Chinese food, you will surely come back the second or third time, after you’ve tried the food at Ho Chiak. It is a simple and charming Chinese restaurant with a relaxed ambiance."

"Feel the need to refuel your energy after a long day of museum and landmark visits, city walks, and shopping spree?. If so, stop for a while and treat yourself to a dining experience you will never forget. Visit Danny’s restaurant in Portland Road and gorge on mouthwatering and delicious Chinese food."

"Well worth a trek out to darkest Hove, this decade-old eatery doesn’t take itself too seriously. Which works just fine for us, thanks very much. Don’t come here for authentic Szechuan spices or traditional tripe-based treats."

"Just six minutes from Palace Pier, Hotel du Vin occupies a former wine merchants store among the cobbled alleys and boutique jewellers of Brighton’s Lanes. Inside, you’ll find leather-trimmed beds, free-standing roll-top tubs and walk-in monsoon showers – two of the suites even have side-by-side twin baths. The bistro holds regular wine-tasting events from its enormous selection, plus it serves a mean Sunday roast."

"Yes for serving food but the set up is there all year but no winter weather contingency (there is a very small little sofa snug that’s covered!). Rooftop review roundup: A gorgeous hotel, bar and restaurant and a rooftop to boot!. Small but beautifully decorated with wicker chairs and fairy lights, it’s like stepping into a fairy tale with cute houses and hotel rooms surrounding it."

"With an excellent location just minutes from The Lanes, the pier, and the Royal Pavilion, Hotel du Vin is hard to beat. Even better, it’s set on one of Brighton’s quieter roads. This pistachio-green neo-gothic building started life as a wine merchant, so its role today as a hotel with a fine cellar is pleasingly appropriate."

"Having opened its doors back in 1882, it remains the oldest and most authentic pub by Brighton’s seafront. The terrace at the front of the bar is ideal for relaxing on whilst enjoying a large beer on a summer evening. Live concerts and DJs are constantly organized and booked at the Fortune of War, making it a local favourite."

"One of the few beachside bars in Brighton boasting its own actual outdoor terrace, The Fortune of War is something of a summertime drinking staple. Get yourself an ice-cool cider and plant your toosh on either their benches or on the pebbles; it's all good at this laidback boozer."

"As part of the Brighton Harbour Hotel, HarBar is great place to hide away in on a couples weekend in Brighton. The bar looks out over the ocean, has a French bistro vibe and, most importantly, has a cocktail menu that will keep you busy for hours."

"Located within Brighton's Harbour Hotel, this swanky spot serves up a range of thirst-quenching cocktails with views of the iconic seafront. From summery spritzes to winter warmers and coffee-infused cocktails, this is one for all occasions."

"Bringing you some of the best American food in Brighton, Harby's Bar & Diner fronts a menu of burgers, dogs and smokey grilled meats. But remember, we are by the seaside, and their fancy fish and chips are also primed to hit the spot."

"A post shared by Eat In Brighton (@eatinbrighton) on Aug 30, 2015 at 2:55am PDT. Located just a short walk from Brighton’s center, the family run business since 1926, Bardsley’s restaurant is renowned for the high quality of its fish ‘n’ chips and friendly atmosphere. Knowing their fish and chips for four generations now, the family works hard to serve only the best."

"Brighton's best chippy isn't on the front; it's tucked away on a side street, heading out of town on London Road. Despite the unpromising location, however, its prices (and this is a theme at all the chip shops in Brighton) are steep enough to give visiting northerners vertigo: £7.20 for chips and a small haddock. And they leave the skin on."

"Just across from West Street, The Copper Clam is right in the heart of the action on Brighton beach. It's a very trendy restaurant that specialises in top quality seafood, and boasts some excellent views of the coast. The decor is stylish and arty - with an appropriately copper-colour bar - making this one of Brighton's most sought after restaurant destinations."
