London-on-Sea

The Forage & Feast Experience is one of the most talked-about experiences on the whole site — a morning foraging in the Brighton countryside with expert guide Lucia, followed by a proper six-course foraged feast, from £65. The Royal Pavilion and Sharing Board for Two at The Wine Cellar combines a tour of one of Britain’s most gloriously improbable buildings with wine (obvs) and local food in a brilliant independent venue, £99. Brighton Pottery with Kate is a hand-building class inspired by the Sussex countryside and coastline and is from £54.
And the Yoga and Forest Bathing in Brighton is four hours of proper outdoor wellness in the woodlands near Brighton — not a mat in a studio, an actual forest, from £54.

Margate is having a moment, justifiably. Make Mosaic Art in Margate full-day workshop with Amy Exton is our standout: Amy is classically trained at the London School of Mosaic; her work is all over the town, and a full day with her studying Roman, Byzantine and contemporary methods is genuinely extraordinary, from £289 which makes it a gift for a committed enthusiast, nay obsessive.
The Seven Sisters Boat Trip takes you along the Sussex coast on a luxury RIB — white cliffs, wildlife and sea air, from £40. The Seven Sisters Sunset Cruise does the same at golden hour, from £35.
These are for people who need more than a walk in the park.

The Coastal and Seaweed Foraging experience takes you into Brighton’s shoreline to hunt, identify and taste edible seaweed and coastal plants — genuinely educational and surprisingly delicious, from £49. The Vegan Wine Tasting in Brighton opens with a beachfront sauna, moves to a wine bar for a plant-based wine and cheese tasting — a combination that sounds odd and works brilliantly, from £45. And the Terrarium Workshop in Brighton is a hands-on botanical design session in which you leave with a self-sustaining miniature garden of your own making, from £74.

Yes — the Overnight Stay at Hotel Pelirocco is the only hotel we list in Brighton, because it’s the only one we’d book ourselves. Pelirocco is Brighton’s most famously eccentric independent hotel — themed rooms, proper personality, the antithesis of a chain, £119.
