Audioscripts

F :   It’s nine thirty! You’re late, John. Did you miss the train again this morning?

M :   I decided to drive for a change because the weather is so bad . When I got to the main road, a taxi had crashed into a school bus and blocked the whole road. All the school kids were standing in the rain waiting for the school to send another school bus. Anyway, the police closed the road and sent all the traffic on a different route that was longer and took me an extra twenty minutes.

F :   Good afternoon. Do you have any fresh strawberries today?

M :   I’m very sorry, we have sold out this morning. We had some big, juicy ones. I will have some more tomorrow morning. I’ve got some lovely raspberries fresh from the farm today if you like and some very sweet cherries.

F :   I’m not sure my parents are keen on raspberries; they are too sour. So, I’ll take some apples, bananas and some of those cherries please. No wait a minute, my dad told me to get pears, not apples .

F :   Now kids I have an announcement. Tonight, as the sun goes down, the temperature will drop a lot and there will be some strong winds. Tomorrow’s forecast is not much better. We expect a very foggy morning which will slowly clear as the sun comes up. But still, during the day it will be cold, with strong winds. This will change again tomorrow night as we expect heavy rain . If this is the case, we might not be able to go on our scheduled school trip as we were supposed to be outdoors.

F :   Hi Ben, do you want to go ice-skating Saturday morning?

M :   I’d love to, but I promised my mum I’d help her cut the grass and pick up the leaves .

F :   Well, how about in the evening?

M :   I’m going to the cinema to see the new horror film with Tracy from school. I could go with you after lunch, though ; the film doesn’t start till 7 pm so I will have plenty of time.

F :   That’s great. See you at about two o’clock.

M :   Hi Alison. You look terrible! What did you do to yourself? Walk into a door?

F :   Very funny. Yesterday morning, I was walking the dog when it suddenly saw a cat and ran right in front of me.

M :   So you tripped over your dog?

F :   No, I managed to stop that from happening by stepping to the side but I didn’t see a hole in the field and I fell into it . It was very painful and it took over an hour for my parents to come and get me.

F :   Do you think grandma would like a parrot? I think it would be perfect as it’s easy to look after and cheap to feed.

M :   She really needs something that will be more of a friend for her. Something that will sit on her lap while she watches TV.

F :   How about a dog?

M :   That would be good … or maybe a cat.

F :   I think she prefers dogs. But she likes cats too and they don’t need to be taken for a walk every day .

M :   Hmm – and in the winter she can’t go out so often .

F :   So that’s decided then.

F :   Hi Dawn, it’s Sue, John’s mother. I’m just phoning about collecting the kids at quarter to four. The plans have changed a bit . My dental appointment for three o’clock has been changed. It’s at five, so I may as well pick up the kids first and they can come with me, so I’ll be half an hour earlier than we’d planned . I hope this is okay with you. Please can you send me a text message to confirm that you have received this message? See you later.

M :   I’ve just had a lesson with that new teacher, Mr Higgins. I had a great time!

F :   Did you? I had him yesterday for the first time. He made me feel really anxious because I got confused with a problem. He wasn’t at all patient with me! I felt embarrassed because I couldn’t understand simple maths.

M :   Really? I found him helpful and understanding. He will make us work hard though. His lessons are really challenging but maybe that’s good for us .

F :   Yes, there are . Hopefully I won’t get confused next time.

F :   Are you packed for the trip? I can’t decide what to take.

M :   Yes. I’ve packed my backpack. Just make sure you take warm clothes because we’ll be camping. I’ve taken two sweatshirts, two pairs of jeans and extra walking boots. Oh, and don’t forget sun creams, sunglasses and, of course, some cash for souvenirs.

F :   That’s all in! I’ve packed two pairs of trainers just in case one pair gets wet. Then, of course, all the essential stuff like passport and boarding pass have still got to go in .

M :   Lucky you reminded me!

M :   Wow. It’s so difficult to get better at tennis. I think I’ll never play as well as you!

F :   Well, you spend lots of time practising with your coach. You don’t have time for much more. Why don’t you try to deal with just one part of your game, and not everything together ?

M :   The thing is, I need to move quicker on the court. That’s my main problem. I watch loads of matches to see how the top players do it.

F :   Well, your tennis coach seems good. I’m sure he will advise you if he thinks you need it.

M :   Have you been into that new music website yet? It’s great because you can connect with other people who listen to the same music as you. It doesn’t cost much either.

F :   Yes, I went in last night. I think it could be cheaper though. The music is not so good but the blog is great. I thought I might join and write some things when I have more time.

M :   Good idea. I’m only interested in the music myself. What’s annoying, though, is the ads; they come between each song .

F :   You’re telling me!

F :   What do you think of the careers lesson we had yesterday? I certainly decided I don’t want to become a lawyer!

M :   Yes, it did sound like a lot of hard work and years of studying. I think what I like best are the jobs where you get paid well and you also get to travel. That sounds like a good option.

F :   My dad is a pilot. He’s always travelling but he’s always tired. Seeing the world may be nice but I’m going to choose something I really love. Money isn’t everything, you know .

M :   Maybe not, but it helps!

M :   So, did you like the cruise? Was it an amazing trip?

F :   Yes! The ship was huge. It had three pools, shops, five restaurants and a golf course! There was lots to do, which was great, so I couldn’t get bored. But for the first few days I was a bit lost until I met some teenagers.

M :   Yes, I thought that might be a problem. It’s usually older people on cruises. But the facilities sound amazing! I’m sure you swam all day long!

F :   Yes, but the best thing was hanging out with the others.

20 B   21 C   22 A   23 A   24 C   25 B

Int :   Hi, Michael. How long have you been a professional cyclist?

M :   Well, I started riding a bike when I was very young. I tried to ride my big brother’s bike when I was about four years old but of course I couldn’t, so I used to push it and pretend I was riding it. ( 20 ) Then my parents bought me my first little bike when I was five and I would ride it all the time . It had extra little wheels on the sides called stabilisers which stopped me falling off.

Int :   You became a top cyclist when you were still very young. It seems as though your success has been easy. Is that true?

M :   Not exactly. Cycling is what I always wanted to do, so giving up has never been something I have thought about doing but it has been difficult at times. It hasn’t only been difficult for me. ( 21 ) My parents have spent so much time and money supporting me. I certainly could not have done so well on my own .

Int :   Can you tell us about the part of your career that has not been easy? Is it all the hours of training that you have to do?

M :   Actually no, I love training and going to the gym. I’m an early bird so I get up very early in the morning and that is when I feel ready and happy to train. I don’t like training in the evening though, as I go to bed quite early. ( 22 ) The problem is that my friends go out late at night so I can’t go out with them very often. I often wish I could, but that’s just the way it is .

Int :   So, I guess you go to the gym every day, don’t you? And fast food must be completely off the menu.

M :   Actually, I never train at all on Sundays. Sunday is my day for relaxing, so I spend time with my family and friends. I do have a burger or a pizza sometimes. ( 23 ) You can’t eat healthy food every day of your life, but yes, you’re right; I do have to eat well, generally, in order to be fit enough to win races. You can’t expect to be a professional athlete and eat whatever you want.

Int :   ( 24 ) You said you relax on Sundays. What do you like to do?

M :   ( 24 ) I’m not much of a reader but I love to watch TV or a movie on Netflix . Most of my friends play basketball or football on a Sunday but doing more exercise is the last thing I want to do.

Int :   ( 25 ) Finally, Michael, what do you think you will be doing in ten years’ time?

M :   I probably won’t be competing in international competitions but ( 25 ) I am very interested in being a coach for young cyclists and sharing all my experiences with them .

Earth's Magical Places

A Day Trip To Brighton: Your Ultimate Guide

Growing up I regularly visited my Grandparents on the South Coast of England, and have many fond memories of its pebbled beaches and hilly terrain. However, despite being well aware of the charm of this region, it’s taken me till now to visit its most well-known town: Brighton.

The town/city was first made popular by King George IV in the late 1700s, as his physician advised him to visit Brighton to benefit from the ‘therapeutic properties of the sea air’. George’s presence quickly turned the quiet seaside town into a popular and fashionable escape from London, and to this day a day trip to Brighton remains a firm favourite amongst visitors to the capital.

In this way, as I live so near to London (and consequently Brighton) I decided that it was well time I revisited the South Coast and spent a sunny day in Brighton…

A Day Trip To Brighton: How To Get There –

The first important element of a Brighton day trip is actually getting there. If you’re going from London to Brighton train is by far the easiest way to reach the seaside as the train connections between the two cities are excellent. You can either get the Gatwick Express train from Victoria (which runs every hour) or you can get an equally as frequent train from St Pancras International,  although this does tend to be a little slower.

More than this, while the train is by far the most convenient way to travel to Brighton, it is also possible to drive, as the town has several centrally located car parks, which you can view here.

One Day In Brighton: Where to Eat – 

My mum accompanied me on my day trip to Brighton and since we arrived at around midday our first port of call was lunch! Luckily for us, Brighton has a fantastic food scene…

We opted for a touch of ‘fine dining’ at the beautiful Ivy in the Lanes. This restaurant was recently renovated from Brighton’s old Post Office, and it’s now filled with quirky art, plenty of greenery and stunning gold accents.

where to eat in Brighton: Ivy in the lanes

The interior alone warrants a visit, but the food is also amazing! It’s most well known for its impressive Brunch (which is served every day till 11:30am) but we found that the lunch menu was equally as delicious!

More than this, while the Ivy in the Lanes exudes luxury and sophistication, it’s actually pretty affordable, with main dishes averaging around £14 (which is similar to most restaurants in the UK).

Other top spots in Brighton include Riddle and Finns , which is perfect for seafood lovers, and Food For Friends , which has been voted one of the best vegetarian restaurants in the country!

Further Brighton also has a fantastic range of more casual dining options. For example, you can always grab Fish and Chips on the beach or pop into one of its many cafes…

Things To Do On A Day Trip To Brighton – 

Brighton is rather unique, as it’s technically a city but has no cathedral, and it’s gritty and historic, yet modern and bursting with colour. What’s more, its status as the Gay capital of the UK means its nightlife is electric, but by day the beachfront is a peaceful haven for families.

As a result of this, it’s easy to see why Brighton is so popular with such a wide array of people: there’s simply something to do that suits everyone! On our own day trip to Brighton, my mum and I were able to sample the best of these different aspects of the city by:

Shopping in the Lanes –

One of the best things to do in Brighton is to shop in its unique Lanes, which are an intricate network of charming narrow alleyways filled with independent shops, pubs and cafes close to the seafront.

So, after Lunch, we decided to explore the Lanes and I have to say that I fell in love with the unique charm and character of this labyrinth of shops. We especially enjoyed window shopping in the Jewellery sector, because a girl can always dream of diamonds. 😉

As well as The Lanes, we also walked back up towards the train station to explore North Laine (located on Kensington Gardens road). This is home to all things vintage and ‘hippy’ and it’s another great shopping experience to have in Brighton.

Visiting The Royal Pavilion –

The next stop on our one day in Brighton itinerary was the Royal Pavilion (the summer residence of the previously mentioned King George IV).  Located a short walk from the lanes, the Royal Pavilion was originally a small lodging house which was transformed into a magnificent oriental palace in 1815 by the architect John Nash.

The beautiful domes, minarets and pinnacles on the exterior of the Pavilion, mean the building has been called the Taj Mahal of England by some. While this statement may be a little bold, I definitely think that the exterior of the Pavilion is exquisite. We found that the best way to appreciate the building was simply by walking through the Pavilion gardens, which are free to visit and beautifully maintained.

We also decided to take the time to tour the inside of the Pavilion, and this was definitely a great decision as the grandeur and opulence is taken to another level inside. With rooms that take inspiration from Chinese and Egyptian architecture, over the top decoration reigns supreme in this palace, and it’s quite unlike any other royal residence in England.

As a result of this, I’d say that visiting the Royal Pavilion is probably at the top of my things to do in Brighton suggestion list, it’s simply too grand and crazy to miss!

TOP TIP: Tickets for the Royal Pavilion cost £15 for adults and £10 for kids, but you can save 10% by booking online in advance.

Exploring the Brighton Palace Pier – 

While the Royal Pavilion is indeed spectacular, you can’t go to Brighton and not visit its famous pier. So, after taking our time to tour the Pavilion, we wandered the 2 minutes or so down to the beachfront to explore this wonderful British attraction.

1760ft long, the pier opened in 1899 and it features lots of fun things to do. For example, you can visit one of two classic arcades, or the small amusement park at the end of the pier, where some rides take you high above the sea.

However, if you’re looking for a more relaxing pier experience, you can visit one of its many food stalls which serve anything from Fish and Chips to Ice Cream and freshly made Doughnuts.

Personally, I found the views back along the coast to be the best part of the Pier, as on a sunny day you can see for miles!

Relaxing on the Beach – 

After taking in the sights and smells of the Pier we made our way down to the beach, which features two promenades, one at street level and one actually on the beach. We chose to wander down the latter of the two as the old fishermen’s huts that back onto it have been converted into quirky shops and cafes that are fun to explore.

Further, as we were very lucky with the weather on our day trip to Brighton, we also ventured onto the pebbles and enjoyed a cocktail overlooking the sea. The beach is such a huge part of the charm of Brighton, that even if you visit in winter taking a stroll along it has to be one of the top things to do in the city.

More Things to do during a day trip to Brighton – 

After relaxing on the beach my mum and I decided to head to the station and take the train back from Brighton to London. While we had a wonderful day and I feel like we enjoyed most of the cities highlights, there are some other attractions that you might want to consider including in your own Brighton day trip itinerary:

The British Airways i360 Tower – 

The British Airways i360 is the worlds tallest moving observation tower. Standing at 162m and located on the former site of Brighton’s West Pier, which sadly burnt down in 2003, the tower provides breathtaking views over Brighton and wider East Sussex. On a clear day, it’s even said that you can see as far as France!

TOP TOP: The tower is cheaper if you book a pre-selected time online (£14.85). You can also purchase a ticket at the tower itself, but note that it only ‘goes up’ every half an hour.

Sea Life Brighton Aquarium – 

For some, a day in Brighton is not complete without a visit to Brighton’s Aquarium , which is actually the oldest operating aquarium in the world as it was built in 1872. Not only does the aquarium feature dazzling sea life, but the original Victorian architecture is also quite stunning.

Therefore, overall a visit to the Aquarium is another of the top things to do in Brighton.

So that completes my ultimate guide to a day trip to Brighton. However, while clearly a great city to visit for a day, I’d suggest you also consider spending a weekend in Brighton. This way you could experience the cities famous nightlife, or explore the beautiful nearby South Downs. None the less, if you just suddenly get an urge to spend a sunny day by the sea (like I did), then Brighton is surely the place to go!

About Brighton

Located along the southern coast of England, Brighton is a city full of brightly colored houses, fun cafes and restaurants, and a fabulous pebbly beach. This eccentric city is full of artwork, with building walls covered in brightly painted murals. There’s even a Banksy mural located near the train station. 

Brighton and nearby Hove are known as the unofficial “Gay Capital” of the UK . With records of LGBT community members dating back to the 19th century, Brighton has long been established as a gathering place for the community, with several lesbian and gay pubs in the city. As of 2014, between 11 and 15% of Brighton’s population is thought to identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual.

What to do on a Brighton day trip

Here are just some of the things that you can do while in Brighton on a day trip, and it’s plenty to make up a full day’s itinerary. From fabulous coffee, tasty restaurants, shopping in open air markets, and walking along the seafront, you’ll get a little bit of everything this seaside city has to offer. 

You’ll want to move around the city pretty freely, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and drink plenty of water. Sunscreen, an umbrella for rainy days, and warm enough clothes are a must. You won’t need cash for most activities and vendors in Brighton, but it couldn’t hurt to bring a small amount for tipping street performers or small purchases in the Lanes. 

Have a coffee near the train station

I love to try different coffees when I travel, so of course I had to make a stop as soon as I got off the train at Wolfox. There’s a cute stop right near the entry barriers for the trains where they also sell premade sandwiches if you’re trying to get out the door and on with your day. 

My favorite coffee of the day was just a few steps further at The Botanist. They have a few pastries and other treats, but I’d mostly go to have a great coffee and enjoy the space, which is full of indoor plants. You can, of course, order your coffee for takeaway if you’re eager to get started exploring Brighton.

See Banksy’s “Kissing Coppers” mural

Originally painted in 2004, Banksy’s “Kissing Coppers” is a fixture on the Prince Albert Pub in Brighton, located just a few steps from the train station. The piece is a nod to Brighton’s history as a central hub for the UK’s LGBT community. The original was removed in order to preserve it, but a replica can be seen and enjoyed by the public today. 

Check out some street art

While the Banksy piece may well be the most famous bit of street art in Brighton, it’s certainly not the only thing worth seeing. You’ll find the biggest collection of street art murals along Trafalgar Street and Trafalgar Lane, both of which are not far from the train station. 

I love to venture out of my way to appreciate street art when I travel, and I particularly loved the vibrancy and creativity of the pieces I saw in Brighton. It’s well worth a small bit of your day to take in some artwork during your day trip and, as a bonus, it’s free!

Eat breakfast at a local spot

Brighton has loads of fabulous restaurants, many of which offer better prices than you’ll find in London. Two local favorites are Billie’s and Nowhere Man, both of which are popular local spots serving up tasty breakfasts. Nowhere Man is known for their American style pancake breakfasts, while Billie’s has heavier offerings like a breakfast hash or a traditional English fry up. 

For a light and quick option, you can always grab a croissant or other breakfast pastry at one of the coffee shops on this list. Some cafes will even offer avocado toast or other simple breakfast dishes, which can be a great option if you’re looking for lighter fare. 

Visit the Lanes

The Lanes in Brighton are a collection of narrow streets and alleyways that date back to the 18th century. Today, these streets are filled with hip vendors, restaurants, and cafes. If you’re looking to do some shopping in Brighton, you’ll want to head here for the most unique options. Unless you’re looking for something specific, you can simply browse the streets and see if any vendors catch your eye. 

It’s not terribly important where you start exploring the Lanes, but I enjoyed the shops around Sydney Street and along Kensington Gardens. If you’d like an address to put into Google Maps, try 16 Kensington Gardens, Brighton BN1 4AL. This will take you to the top of a street with plenty of activity and cute shops. 

Royal Pavilion

Most any guide to Brighton will tell you to visit the Brighton Pavilion, and this post is no exception. The Royal Pavilion is an Asian-style palace that was built for King George IV, combining elements of both Indian and Chinese architecture and design. The pavilion also includes expansive gardens, offering views of the building’s unique rooftops. 

Tickets are required to enter the Royal Pavilion. You can purchase them by visiting the main website for Brighton & Hove Museums .

Have lunch in a covered market

In addition to the open air markets and shopping areas of the Lanes, you can find fabulous food in some of the more tucked away spots. Expats from the US are renowned for missing Mexican food , so if you’ve been craving a decent taco, make your way to the Open Market where you’ll find Casazul. This little taqueria has delightful tacos, including plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, that are served with some salsa that was so good I bought an extra jar to take home. 

If Mexican food just isn’t your thing, you’ll find tons of other highly rated restaurants in the city. I included a few of my local friend’s favorites, but you could simply look around and find one with a long queue – usually the sign of a great restaurant. Most places will have options to meet various dietary restrictions, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free meals. 

Visit the Feminist Bookshop

Despite its unassuming entrance, the Feminist Bookshop is a beloved spot among locals and a great place to visit while on a day trip to Brighton. This bright and welcoming space houses shelves of great reads, as you might have guessed, and helpful staff who will share their recommendations. 

If you’re still not sure what to read next, the Feminist Bookshop often has “blind date” books, where you buy a book based on a brief description without knowing the title or seeing the cover. There’s also a lovely reading nook and coffee bar, so you can enjoy a cup of hot cocoa and get a headstart on your new book before you even leave the shop. 

Tragically, the Feminist Bookshop was closed when I visited, but it’s on my must-visit list when I return to Brighton. If you’re interested in some of my favorite books, here’s a list that I made a while back.

Head to the seaside

One of the top attractions in Brighton is the seaside, where you’ll find views of buildings looking out over the ocean and a pebbly beach. The seafront is lined with restaurants and bars, most of which have seating that looks out towards the beach and a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The path that runs along the beach is full of people, young and old, walking parallel to the water. 

Brighton Beach

You can swim at Brighton Beach or just take a self-care break and relax on the nearby pebbly beach. The general atmosphere here is very laid back, and you’ll find that most of the other beachgoers are relaxing and chatting with their friends. This stretch of coastline is beloved by locals and visitors alike, so it’s a must-visit while you’re in Brighton.

Best sure to wear sunscreen near the beach, even on overcast days, to protect yourself from the sun. If you bring a reusable water bottle, many of the local restaurants and shops would be happy to refill it for you so that you can stay hydrated . There are public toilets available for you to use, if needed.

Walk along the paved path 

There is a paved pathway that runs most of the length of Brighton Beach, passing by a collection of shops and attractions. If you’re looking to get your steps in, be sure to walk a stretch of this path. One must-see landmark is the upside down house, which is located near the main bandstand. 

Even from the outside, the upside down house is a bit of a marvel. I didn’t realize until later that you can actually enter the house, which is fully furnished and you can explore the interior. If you’re looking for a unique Instagram post or unusual photo , you might want to consider paying the fee to enter the house. 

Get a bird’s eye view of Brighton from the i360

Visitors who might have decided to skip the London Eye might instead consider the i360. This vertical lookout tower that extends over the beach and offers – as the name suggests – a 360 degree view of the city. This experience is on the pricier side, but if you enjoy seeing cities from unusual angles or perspectives, you can’t beat the views you’ll get from the i360. 

I didn’t take the i360 on my visit, but I have a friend who did and said that she loved it. This activity is best enjoyed on a nice, clear day, so if you visit when it’s a bit foggy or rainy you might skip it.

Brighton Pier

The Brighton Pier is probably the most family-friendly activity you can do in Brighton. The pier is full of arcade games and includes a carousel and a few rides – plenty to keep kids busy for a few hours and create some lifelong memories. There aren’t many dining options on the Brighton Pier, so be sure to eat before you go or plan to simply grab a snack from one of the vendors.

Watch the sunset

Brighton is known for its fabulous sunsets, especially if you enjoy them from the beach. If you’d prefer a more unique sunset experience, you could choose the sunset “flight” on the i360, where you can also enjoy a glass of wine or champagne with your view of the city. 

Where to eat and drink in Brighton

One of the top reasons to visit Brighton is for the fabulous food and coffee. I’ll focus in this post on breakfast, lunch, and coffee stops because most people will head home before dinner when they’re visiting for a day trip. This list is a combination of the spots I found and tried while in Brighton and some recommendations from a friend who is a former local. 

Brighton coffee shops

I was immediately impressed by the coffee shops that I encountered when I visited Brighton. The cafes were cozy, the coffee was great, and there were many more options than I was expecting. Here are some of the best coffee shops you’ll find in Brighton. 

The Botanist

This coffee shop was my first stop after dropping my bag at the luggage storage counter. I looked it up before I went in, but I was drawn to it because I love houseplants… and this spot was full of them. I loved the bright, sunny interior and the fresh feeling that the shop had from all of the plants growing on shelves and in corners. 

The coffee was fabulous, too. This was the sort of place I’d go back to again and again, and it’s a must for my next trip to Brighton. If you’re trying to ward off the post-vacation blues , the Botanist would be a great spot to do a little journaling.

Stoney Point

Located along Montpelier Place in a mostly residential area of Brighton is Stoney Point, a cafe that serves fabulous coffee drinks and small breakfast dishes. I tried to visit Stoney Point on my day trip to Brighton, but they were closed for renovations. 

Stoney Point has fabulous looking breakfast dishes, including avocado toast and tasty pastries. The coffee is said to be excellent, with a few reviewers noting that the flat whites were the best they’d ever had. My friend who had lived in the area suggested getting the coffee for takeaway (to go) and wandering the city with it. 

I wouldn’t put the coffee from Wolfox on the same level as, say, The Botanist, but it definitely deserves a spot on this list. They have a stall in the train station, so it couldn’t be more convenient to grab a flat white or a cappuccino when you first arrive in Brighton. I liked that they also had plenty of food options, and there was the telltale sign of a local favorite: a long line of people waiting to order a coffee. 

Brighton restaurants

This list of Brighton restaurants is short but mighty. My friend who lived in Brighton didn’t have many restaurants to recommend, but she had plenty to say about each one and assured me that these were the best spots in the city. I ate lunch at Casazul and had a chai latte at Nowhere Man when I visited Brighton. 

A guava flavored Jarritos, tacos, and a side of rice and beans at a taqueria.

I would put Casazul on a list of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Europe, it’s truly a gem. This authentic Mexican restaurant serves street tacos along with basic sides, each of them prepared with care and thought. There are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, along with the more traditional chicken, beef, and pork tacos. 

I asked the owner where he sourced the cheese used to top the tacos, which reminded me of a queso fresco you might find in the US or Mexico. He told me that he’d found an English cheese that had a similar effect when grated, and I’m still impressed with this find (most restaurants just use feta). There’s something about a great plate of tacos that helps me ward off some lingering feelings of homesickness . 

I brought back a small jar of the homemade salsa and my only regret is that I didn’t buy more. 

Nowhere Man

Nowhere Man is a cozy, bohemian spot known for their American style pancakes. These pancakes come piled high with powdered sugar, fresh fruits or fruit compotes, and sides of whipped cream. The interior reminded me of spots I’ve visited in Berkeley, California, with large leather couches, vintage decor, and some happy looking houseplants. 

I had already eaten when I visited, but I grabbed an iced chai here on a quiet weekday afternoon. The chai was tasty, and I loved having a little break during my day to enjoy the space. 

A sign reads, "Nowhere Man. Coffee, bagels, pancakes, iced tea, and coffee"

Known for their generous portions, this breakfast joint serves traditional English breakfasts alongside dishes with modern twists. The house specialty at Billie’s is the Farmhouse Hash, which is served with sausage, bacon, baked beans, and mushrooms then topped with cheese. They offer a few variations, including a few vegetarian options. 

This is the sort of breakfast that might fill you up for a full day, so be sure you’re hungry if you choose to visit Billie’s. The service can be a bit slow, so be prepared to enjoy the sunny windows and take your time with your breakfast. 

Real Patisserie 

The Real Patisserie is a pastry stop and bakery in Brighton that serves desserts that are not overly sweet from a small storefront near the Brighton train station. Here, you’ll find sweet treats like a tart with apple or  raspberry and blackcurrant. This could be a great top on your way back into London if you’d like a small treat for the train or your hotel room. 

Luggage storage

If you come directly from Gatwick or otherwise have luggage with you when you arrive in Brighton, I cannot recommend enough that you drop your bags before heading off into the city. I used a bag drop service, which was convenient and just what I needed in order to be able to enjoy my day in the city. 

I used CitySpareSpace Luggage Storage to store my luggage, a small operation set inside of a corner shop. They were located just a few blocks from the train station, so it was convenient for both drop off and collection. 

While the service seemed secure to me, I would probably avoid leaving any valuables in the shop just in case something happened. I opted to bring my laptop with me when I explored Brighton, leaving most of my clothing and other items behind in my suitcase. I’d also recommend checking recent reviews on Google Maps to ensure there aren’t new issues that have popped up. 

There are also bag drop services in the train station, including lockers, that you could use instead. Again, be sure to read a few recent reviews before leaving your bags so that you’re aware of any problems other users might have experienced.

Getting around Brighton

Once you arrive in Brighton, you can easily navigate the city on foot. You’ll find sidewalks throughout the city and a lovely walking path along the beach, in addition to open air markets. Bring comfy, waterproof shoes and plan to walk everywhere you need to go if you can. 

For those who prefer not to walk, you can rent bicycles and explore the city on two wheels. There are some hills, but the city is small enough that you can easily get around with a bike. Alternatively, you could purchase a hop-on hop-off bus tour that includes stops throughout Brighton and Hove, which would allow you to see even more of the area. 

How to get to Brighton

Like many other English cities, Brighton is easily accessible by train. Most visitors will take the train directly from London, though you can easily access Brighton from other English cities and regions. Alternatively, you can reach Brighton by car from other regions of England. 

Train from London

The National Rail Service operates the train system between London and Brighton. You can take the Gatwick Express from the Victoria station in central London directly to Brighton station. You can check for prices and schedules by visiting National Rail Enquiries , and Google Maps typically also has accurate schedule information. 

Pro tip: if you fly into London Gatwick in the morning, visit Brighton before making your way to London

When I flew into London for the first time, I had booked a flight into the London Gatwick airport. This was perfect for a day trip to Brighton because I was already nearly halfway from London to Brighton, saving overall time spent on the train. The train left Gatwick and went directly to Brighton, where I was able to store my bags near the station before heading out on my day adventure.

What to do in Brighton at night

For fans of Taylor Swift who are considering spending a Friday or Saturday night in Brighton, consider joining a Swiftie-focused club night. Swiftogeddon is an event where a nightclub or pub will dedicate an entire night to only Taylor Swift’s songs, including favorites like All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version). You can check dates and ticket availability on Eventbrite .

Otherwise, the best way to spend an evening in Brighton is at one of the city’s many pubs and bars. 

Best time to visit Brighton

If you can, try to visit Brighton in the summertime for the best experience at the beach. Even on a cooler summer day, you’ll likely find people swimming in the sea, eating 99s (soft serve ice cream cones topped with a Flake chocolate bar), and generally enjoying the sunshine. 

However, it’s worth visiting Brighton even if you’re considering a day trip during the winter. I would suggest, however, that you choose a sunny day if possible. 

Day trip to Brighton: FAQs

Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about visiting Brighton on a day trip from London. 

Is Brighton nice for a day trip?

Yes, Brighton is a great spot for a day trip from London or other English cities. This funky and artistic city is a lively spot with plenty of activities to fill up a day’s visit. I especially loved visiting the seaside, where you can look out over the ocean and enjoy some time listening to the soft crash of waves on the beach. 

Additionally, you’ll find plenty of great restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping areas to enjoy in Brighton. 

How many days do you need in Brighton?

You can easily see Brighton’s main attractions in one (albeit long) day. To see the city in one day, you will need to keep a decently quick pace in order to see everything the city has to offer. If you’d prefer to shop for a while in the markets or spend a full day at the beach, you can consider spending more than one day. 

You will want to try to arrive as early as you can manage from London, as there’s a lot to see (and eat). Plan for a minimum of 6 hours in Brighton, from when your train pulls into the station to when it leaves.

Is Brighton worth a day trip from London?

I was so glad to spend a day in Brighton when I visited London on a 5 day trip, so I would say that it’s absolutely worth a day trip from London. Visiting Brighton gives you a chance to see where people live and work along England’s southern coast, far from the tourist centers in London. Even the most touristy parts of Brighton will feel local compared to, say, Camden Market in London. 

Is it worth visiting Brighton in the winter?

I visited Brighton on a sunny but chilly day in February and absolutely loved my time in the city. As I shared in my packing list for Ireland , the weather on the British Isles can often feel much colder than the temperature suggests. Bring a warm coat that will protect you from the wind if you decide to visit the city in the winter. 

If you do decide to visit in the winter, I’d encourage you to choose a sunny day. You’ll be spending most of your time outdoors, and a visit to the seaside will be much more enjoyable if you’re able to soak in some sunshine. Keep in mind that the weather may be colder on the coast than it is in the more protected areas in and around London. 

Is Brighton a walkable city?

Yes, Brighton is a walkable city. There are plenty of sidewalks and most of the attractions are located within a central area. If you decide to walk the streets of Brighton, be sure to bring comfortable shoes and be ready for a few hills. 

Can you get around Brighton without a car?

Yes, you can absolutely get around Brighton without a car. In fact, you might find it difficult to navigate Brighton with a car, as the city doesn’t have a tremendous amount of parking and is very walkable. 

If you prefer not to walk around Brighton, you might consider renting a bicycle for your day trip. That way you can travel around the city a bit faster, but you’ll still get to enjoy all of the sights.

Is it possible to walk from London to Brighton?

No, it’s not possible to walk from London to Brighton, the distance between these two cities is about 54 miles (87 kilometers). From London, you’ll want to take the train, bus, or drive to Brighton. Most visitors will take the train, as it is convenient and easy to navigate once you buy your ticket. 

Final thoughts: Day trip to Brighton

There are so many wonderful things to do on a day trip to Brighton. There’s something for everyone to enjoy in Brighton, from solo travelers to those traveling with their parents to families. Whether you’re interested in exploring the more progressive parts of the city, like the Feminist Bookshop or strolling past the street art, or you’re just ready in a day by the seaside, there’s a Brighton itinerary for you.  This post would not have been possible without my wonderful and talented friend, Ely . She lived in Brighton while attending graduate school and encouraged me to visit for a day trip, offering priceless suggestions and tips for my visit. She has a project called Me Voy de Casa (“I’m Leaving Home”) which showcases the stories of women who have traveled or immigrated alone.

Brighton in a Day: A Guide to the Perfect Day in Brighton

Thinking about visiting Brighton in a day? Keep reading to find out more about planning your trip and all the things to do during a day in Brighton.

One of England’s most famous historical seaside resorts, a Brighton day trip is a must at some point in your life or when visiting England. A quintessential, English seaside town that’s been the centre of entertainment and British holidays for the last century Brighton is packed with fun things to do that’ll keep you busy for the day.

Not only that, but it’s also a charming, working city with great boutique shopping opportunities and lots of great restaurants and cafes. There are also some good museums and galleries to check out when visiting too.

While spending a weekend in Brighton is better than just a day, Brighton in a day is completely possible. You’ll just scratch the surface but you’ll still be able to enjoy the beach and all its most famous sights while also getting some time to relax. Keep reading to plan your own one day in Brighton.

Best Time to Visit Brighton in a Day

The best time to visit Brighton is when it’s warm or even, god forbid, hot and sunny. For this reason, the best time to visit is during the summer, from May until September. During the summer there’s more probability of having a nice warm, sunny Brighton day trip.

Also during the summer, the days are much longer and you’ll be able to do much more with your time. Due to Brighton also being a beach city, it really comes alive in the summer months with a wonderful atmosphere that just isn’t the same in the winter.

When visiting during the summer be prepared for crowds, especially if the weather is good. If you want to avoid the crowds try to visit on a not-so-nice day or during the week. Also, make sure to avoid Brighton Pride Weekend which falls on a weekend in August as this draws huge crowds from around the country.

If your visit to Brighton in a day is flexible and you’re based in London or the UK, I’d recommend just keeping an eye on the weather reports and when you spot great weather on a day that you’re free, just go for it.

How to Get from London to Brighton

Train – The fastest and most hassle-free way to get to Brighton in a day from London is by train. Southern Rail services operate from quite a few London stations including London Victoria, Clapham Junction and Thameslink from London Blackfriars and London St Pancras and will get you to Brighton in 1-1.5 hours. Trains cost about £30 or less on an off-peak return. 

From Brighton Station, it’s an easy 15-minute walk down Queen Street to central Brighton and the seafront. 

For booking train and bus tickets in the UK, I always use Omio , which has the best deals online. It also allows you to compare train and bus travel. Book your train and bus tickets with Omio here or use the form below.

Bus – A bus is also an option when coming to Brighton for a day. Buses leave London Victoria and arrive in central Brighton 3 hours and 15 minutes later. While the bus is a more cost-effective option than the train, because of the journey times, I don’t recommend taking the bus if you’re trying to see Brighton in a day.

Car – Driving south for a day in Brighton is another good option to get to the city. It takes about 2 hours to drive from central London to Brighton but you’ll have to succumb to traffic. However, driving to Brighton is a very cost-effective option if you’re coming down for a Brighton day trip as a group or more than 2 people. 

Parking in Brighton can be tricky, especially in the city centre. I highly recommend parking in a designated car park a little outside the city centre and walking in. On Sundays, you might also get free parking in the city centre if you arrive early.

When coming to Brighton for a day one of my top travel tips is to leave early to make the most of the day. If you aim to arrive in Brighton by 9 am, (which is totally doable) you’ll be able to have a full day in the city.

Things to do in Brighton in a Day

If you’re heading to Brighton for the day you’ll be pleased to know that this city offers quite a bit to do to fill your time. While you probably won’t be able to do everything in a day- a weekend in Brighton is probably the better option- you will be able to see most of the city’s sights.

With many museums, beachside attractions and shopping, there really are many great things to do in Brighton in a day.

Spend time on Brighton Beach

A quintessential representation of the British seaside at its finest (unless it’s raining) Brighton beach is somewhere you’ll no doubt end up during your Brighton day trip. 

excursion to brighton listening

Don’t expect sand here, Brighton beach is probably Britain’s most famous pebble beach but while it’s pretty difficult to walk on barefoot it’s incredibly picturesque in the sunshine.

One of the best things to do here is to walk the beach promenade all the way from the Palace pier to the British Airways i360 and take in the views. Here you’ll also find many different cafes, restaurants and beachside bars that offer outdoor seating in the sunshine on the beach.

Alternatively, if it’s hot and sunny make sure to take your towel and camp out on the beach for the afternoon. You can buy drinks and snacks at a bar nearby or a store in town and make a little beach picnic of it.

Take a Jaunt along Brighton Pier

The Brighton Pier or The Palace Pier was the third of Brighton’s piers established in 1899 as a replacement for the older Chain pier which collapsed in 1896. It quickly grew in popularity as a theatre and entertainment venue and this tradition still continues to this day.

excursion to brighton listening

Brighton Pier is the biggest highlight of this seaside town and no venture to the town is complete without a jaunt along the iconic pier. Take a photo with the Brighton Pier sign, play a game in the arcades or simply people watch those that do. You can also walk to the end to have a go on the amusement rides. 

You’ll also find plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the sea views, grab a drink, ice cream, snack or meal- even though I don’t recommend eating here, food tends to be overpriced and mediocre. 

excursion to brighton listening

Brighton pier however is one of the best spots for walking, taking photos, relaxing and indulging in some sea views. One thing to note is that the pier closes for the night and doesn’t open until 10 am- just in case you were planning to take some early morning photos on the pier.

Admire the Royal Pavilion & The Pavilion Gardens

The Royal Pavilion is a beautiful palace in the center of Brighton that’s difficult to avoid.

It was built in the 18th Century for King George IV as a royal residence to enjoy Brighton and the south coast. At this time Brighton was becoming increasingly popular and trendy as a seaside holiday spot, especially for those living in London.

excursion to brighton listening

Unlike any other royal building in the UK, the Brighton Pavilion mixes royal grandeur with architectural styles from India and China. Going inside you’ll be able to see all the most important rooms in the palace including the Reception rooms, the Saloon and the Banqueting Room as well as garments from the Regency wardrobe.

While the architecture of the Pavilion is pretty stunning from the outside, it’s also well worth a wonder on the inside.

Make sure to skip the queues and get your admission ticket online in advance here .

Once you’ve visited the Royal Pavilion, make sure to also have a quick walk around the Pavilion Gardens that encircle the palace, admission is free and it’s a wonderful place for a stroll.

Explore Brighton Lanes

The Brighton Lanes is where you’ll find over 400 small shops all crammed in together amongst a network of small, labyrinth alleyways.  It’s the place for a stroll, a spot of window shopping and a coffee or two. 

Generally divided into The Lanes, which are located just a little north of Brighton pier and the North Laines, located between The Lanes and Brighton station. 

excursion to brighton listening

Perfect for a spot of shopping and walking, you could spend hours shopping for trinkets, vintage clothing and unique boutique finds while also popping into some of the best coffee shops in the city. 

Some of the best streets to check out are Upper Gardner St for retro and vintage finds, Gardner St for stores, cafes and Komedia theatre as well as Brighton Place and East Street for shopping. Don’t miss North Laines Market, especially on a Sunday when locals head out to brunch and make the most of the buzzing area.

See Art at Fabrica

Fabrica is a small independent gallery located in the Brighton Lanes. It’s housed in an old, converted church so it’s worth popping in for this alone. Inside you’ll find a range of constantly changing exhibitions, from contemporary and mostly local artists.

The entrance is free so it’s worth heading in just to quickly see what’s on.

Take in the Sea Views from the British Airways i360

One of the newest attractions in town is the British Airways i360, essentially a giant disc which climbs a 162m (531 ft) pole for the best views of Brighton and the sea beyond. Designed by the same architects behind The London Eye, the i360 allows you to get above the seashore and admire the incredible views from the top. 

excursion to brighton listening

Unfortunately due to the glare, you can’t take the best photos but it’s still worth watching the view change as the disc rises skywards and make the most of the Nyetimber bar inside.  

Skip the queues and get your ticket in advance here . Highly recommended as it’s really popular.

Note that there are many different events happing at different times of the year in the i360. Perhaps you want to listen to a live Piano Concerto inside the rising disc or even take a Yoga Class with these incredible views? Check the website here for more about current events.

Pop into the Brighton Art Museum and Gallery

Located in the Pavilion Gardens, the Brighton Museum and Gallery is another great spot in the city for culture. It’s also the perfect thing to do if the weather turns nasty.

Bringing together all of Brighton’s history and arts, inside this lovely little museum you’ll find a variety of permanent and temporary collections that include images of Brighton throughout the years, local fine arts and other local pop culture exhibits.

To see what’s on and plan your visit make sure to check out their website here for more information.

Get your Adventure on with a Coastline e-bike Tour

excursion to brighton listening

If you’d like to spend your day in Brighton doing something a little different then why not take in all its sights by e-bike? Brighton’s Coastline e-bike tour will allow you to take in the picturesque seafront as well as the chalk cliffs just outside the city. You get the chance to ride your e-bike over the top of the cliffs along the path and get some of the best views of the area.

To find out more check out the Coastline e-bike tour here .

Take a detour to Seven Sisters

If you have a bit more time and want to check out the surrounding countryside, make sure not to miss the stunning Seven Sisters Cliffs that are located between Brighton and Eastbourne.

Here you can walk along the top of the cliffs along the cliffside path, and admire the sea views and the famous lighthouse at Beachy Head Cliffs.

It’s definitely best to visit Seven Sisters from Brighton by car, as public transport in this area is fairly scarce. Alternatively, if you came down by train, you can also take a tour that’ll take you to all the best points along the Seven Sisters Cliffs.

Check out this Seven Sisters and South Downs Tour from Brighton here.

Visit Hove Beach

Keep walking westwards from the British Airways i360 and you’ll eventually get to Hove, another small city just adjacent to Brighton. Hove beach is generally a little quieter than Brighton beach and here you’ll also be able to have a look at the lovely, colourful Hove beach huts.

excursion to brighton listening

The little beach huts make a great spot for photos and people-watching.

When in Hove you can also take a quick walk through Brunswick Square, a delightful little square with period housing all around it’s perimeter.

Note: Brighton also has an aquarium, SEA LIFE Brighton which you might see in many other travel guides for Brighton. We don’t recommend visiting attractions that exploit animals in any way for human entertainment and while it might be ‘fun for the kids’, or a ‘good things to do on a rainy day’, I wholeheartedly encourage you to think twice about visiting this attraction.

Where to Stay in Brighton

There’s no shortage of great boutique hotels in Brighton. If you do plan of staying the night and turning your Brighton day trip into a weekend in Brighton here are some of my top picks for where to stay in the city.

Artist Residence Brighton – The boutique hotel is one of the best stays in Brighton. Located just a few minutes from the beach and West Pier, this property features beautiful rooms with quirky artwork. On site, they also have a restaurant, cafe, and bar where you can enjoy a delicious breakfast in the morning with gorgeous sea views. Check rates and availability here.

The Grand Brighton- Probably one of the most iconic hotels and buildings along the Brighton seafront, the Renaissance style hotel is one of the best options in the city. Book a suite with sea views and order room service to enjoy a morning coffee with the best views in Brighton. Check rates and availability here.

Hotel Una – Another great boutique hotel in the heart of Brighton this is a great choice for those that are more design inclined. With spacious, well-designed rooms, lovely breakfast and sea views what more do you need from an overnight stay? Check rates and availability here.

Blok 74 – A great budget option in Brighton, this lovely hotel has small but well-decorated rooms, tea and coffee facilities and a good shower. Check rates and availability here .

Where to Eat

Terre a Terre – One of the best veggie restaurants in Brighton that’s been around for a long time, award-winning Terre a Terre serves a range of dishes inspired by world cuisines. Opt for their hearty dhal, vegan salads, dips or main and relax with some friends for a guaranteed great meal in Brighton. 

Food for Friends – A delicious vegetarian restaurant located in the heart of the Lanes, Food for Friends serves a range of dishes meant for sharing. Choose between nibbles, small plates and large plates and share everything that comes your way. We feasted on some delicious grilled corn ‘ribs’, vegan baos and watermelon salad. Everything is super fresh and well presented. 

excursion to brighton listening

Kokedama – Great little spot serving plant-based small dishes with a big focus on celebrating vegetables. Just note that they are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Lost in the Lanes – the Brighton spot for brunch, look nowhere else for the best brunch in the city. Head here for an oat flat white, avocado in sourdough, the vegan or classic English breakfast, French toast or toasted banana bread. Whatever you order, it really is the best spot to start your day in Brighton. 

Workshop – a beautiful Japanese-inspired concept store and cafe, this really is a feast for the minimalist-inspired eyes. Grab a coffee here and browse their beautiful selection of homeware, and accessories before moving on. It will take you a while though, this place is seriously swoon-worthy. 

English’s of Brighton – A local institution serving British seafood including grilled fish, fresh oysters and the quintessentially British fish and chips. 

Gingerman – For a more upscale meal make sure to consider the Gingerman, one of Brighton’s Michelin-recommended restaurants. Their focus is on fresh, seasonal British food when you can opt for a tasting menu that beautifully puts the best of the season’s produce on your plate.

The Best Brighton Day Trip Itinerary

Travel , UK | October 3, 2023

This post contains affiliate links, which means I may make a small commission if you buy anything mentioned here. It doesn't cost you anything extra.

Colourful, alternative and packed with young people: Brighton quickly became my new favourite UK city when I first visited. Here’s my brilliant Brighton day trip itinerary for first-time visitors.

While Brighton’s attractions are numerous and diverse, one of the best things to do in Brighton is simply to take an aimless walk around the city and soak up the atmosphere, which vibrates with a contagious energy.

Top things to do in Brighton on a day trip

The south east seaside destination has just enough grit to hold appeal for edgy folk in their 20s and 30s, but it still has the classic British beach attractions that have made day trips to Brighton popular with Brits since the 18th century.

The LGBTQ capital of the UK feels like a place where anything can happen .

The city wears its personality on its sleeve and it’s reflected right back in its residents’ faces.

I spent my entire day trip to Brighton gushing about how much I loved the place!

Seriously, can I just move there?

What to do on a Brighton day trip

Here’s what to see in Brighton on a day trip. I’ve included the usual tourist attractions, photogenic places in Brighton and quirky spots that will make your day trip to Brighton super memorable.

1. Walk along Brighton Pier

Brighton Palace Pier is a must-visit on a day trip to Brighton

Brighton Palace Pier is a must-see if you’re only in Brighton for a day trip, so head there to start your day in Brighton.

One of the most photographed piers in Europe, this 1,722ft long Victorian pier epitomises everything that’s golden about a day at the seaside.

Grab fish and chips and wander the fairground attractions, two arcades and various stalls on the pier.

This is one of the best free things to do in Brighton. You don’t have to pay to people watch there!

If you’re enjoying a Brighton day trip with kids, you can take them to the indoor soft play on the pier. Ideal for rainy days!

Get ideas for more things to do in Brighton with kids on Zena’s Suitcase’s site.

2. Sunbathe on Brighton Beach

Brighton Beach is the perfect British day out at the seaside

Brighton’s beach might not be the comfiest on the old bum bones – there are about 614,600,000 pebbles lining the shore – but it’s popular among sunbathers in the summertime.

You can rent a deck chair and spend the day chilling and watching the waves if you so desire – or do some water sports if you’re feeling brave. 

Book a jet ski ride to kick your day in Brighton up a notch here , or book a powerboat ride here .

There are loads of bars, cafes and other facilities lining the seafront.

Don’t miss the famous colourful beach huts, which are over in Hove!

3. Take a stroll along the Promenade

Brighton's promenade is one of its top attractions

Brighton’s seafront promenade is probably the loveliest I’ve been to in Britain.

As well as lots of bars and restaurants with outdoor seating that give the city a real cosmopolitan vibe, there are galleries in the Artists’ Quarter that spill out onto the paving from the arches.

You can pick up unique souvenirs here and there are plenty of free activities to keep kids busy, including a basketball court.

You’ll also find a free fishing museum , ice cream shops, seafood stalls, children’s play areas and of course the carousel.

You could easily spend the best part of an afternoon soaking up Brighton’s seafront attractions!

4. Pose with the Upside Down House

Upside Down House in Brighton

The peculiar Brighton tourist attraction on the promenade is amusing to take a photo with, but the real intrigue is inside this curious structure!

Within the aquamarine house that’s turned on its head; you’ll find the ‘UK’s first inverted photo experience’.

The Upside Down House is a museum of illusions that’s brilliant if you’re looking for a rainy day activity in Brighton.

This is one of the most fun places to go in Brighton with kids, and you’ll come away with great pictures to remember your day trip to Brighton.

5. Reach high on a flight on the Brighton i360

BA i360 attraction in Brighton

The Brighton i360 is a unique attraction in Brighton for all ages.

Buy a ticket and enter a futuristic glass pod, then soar 415ft into the sky to take in breathtaking panoramic views of Brighton’s cityscape from the top of the observation tower.

There’s an onboard bar where you can order a sparkling wine and an exhibition room back on the ground, which details the creation of the tower.

You’ll need to book your i360 flight online in advance. You can do this here .

The attraction also has an open-air rollerblading rink, so you can get your skates on and have some fun there too!

6. Visit the Royal Pavilion

Royal Pavilion in Brighton

This might be one of the best places to go in Brighton for photographers, but unfortunately all the scaffolding meant the Royal Pavilion wasn’t looking its best during our day out in Brighton!

Built as a seaside retreat for King George IV, this historic house was later redone with inspiration from Indian architecture.

These days it radiates Regency grandeur with an oriental aesthetic.

While it’s magnificent to take in from the outside, you can also book tickets online in advance to explore the interior of this grand structure.

There’s an imposing banqueting room, royal bedrooms and a music room complete with pagodas where Rossini performed in 1823.

7. Wander along North Laine

North Laine is one of the best places to go on a day trip to Brighton

If you’re planning a day trip to Brighton, you cannot miss North Laine !

This vibrant mecca for the alternative is a melting pot of colour, bohemian style and gastronomy. It’s a hive of activity and is viewed as the cultural hub of Brighton.

Join the outlandishly dressed throngs for a stroll around the countless independent shops, boutiques and galleries, then pull up a pew in the street for a light bite and enjoy watching life unfold in what has to be one of England’s most fascinating streets.

It’s Brighton’s diversity that made me fall in love with the city, and nowhere is it better epitomised than North Laine.

Saturdays get very busy on North Laine, so if you’re visiting Brighton on a day trip at the weekend you should take this into consideration.

TIP: Get around Brighton with ease via City Sightseeing hop-on-hop-off bus tour . It’s a simple way to see more of Brighton if you’re only there for 24 hours.

8. Go shopping for vintage gems

Vintage shops in Brighton

If you’re into vintage fashion, Brighton is your spirit city.

North Laine is jam-packed with overflowing vintage shops and antiques bazaars.

If you’re ever lost for things to do in Brighton when it’s raining you can easily lose a whole morning wandering the shelves of Brighton’s vintage treasure troves.

Some of my favourites are Snooper’s Paradise , To Be Worn Again and Waiste Vintage .

Take a deep breath and get ready to rummage.

I actually got a headache because I was so overwhelmed with the sheer quantity of stuff in these shops and felt like my eyes couldn’t possibly take it all in at once!

9. Explore The Lanes

The Lanes are one of the best places to see in Brighton for day trips

Brighton’s Lanes are a rabbit’s warren of narrow streets lined with independent shops, pubs and eateries.

Once a tiny fishing town, this is another of the top places to visit in Brighton, whether it’s your first visit or your thirtieth.

Walking around the Lanes is a bit like stepping back in time in the best possible way.

If you’re in the market for some one-of-a-kind jewellery, I highly recommend a trip to the Lanes’ jewellery quarter.

We went early in the morning when the Arabic jewellers were finishing their coffee and catching up on the cobbles before opening their shops.

10. Hunt out Brighton’s street art

Street art mural in Brighton

No modern city would be complete without its fair share of street art and Brighton is no exception.

Among the rainbow coloured houses and vibrant shopping streets, you’ll find a plethora of incredible wall murals and less curated graffiti that conveys the city’s bold character.

Some of the most well known street art areas in Brighton are The Prince Albert Pub on Trafalgar Street, with its lurid depiction’s of some of Britain’s late great artists, and Gloucester Road, Kensington Street and Orange Row.

I reckon Brighton’s street art rivals Bristol’s – what do you think?

11. Visit Brighton’s top museums

Museums and cultural attractions in Brighton

If your day trip to Brighton isn’t blessed with dry weather you can take shelter and find amusement in some of the city’s museums and galleries.

Brighton Museum in Pavilion Gardens is a must-visit. It’s open all week except Mondays.

There’s also the Crane Kalman Brighton Gallery for photography lovers, Hidden Gallery for contemporary art and the Brighton Toy and Model Museum which will appeal to children and adults alike.

You’ll find lots of small independent galleries around the city. Just wander in and you might find something truly special!

12. See Brighton’s Marina

Brighton Marina

Did you know that Brighton’s boasts one of Europe’s largest floating Marinas?

Whether you drive along the coast or stroll along the beach towards the area, Brighton’s Marina is worth visiting.

Buy lunch in one of the many cafes and restaurants and browse the high-end shops that line the attractive harbour.

There’s free parking, an outdoor ping pong and chess tables so you can even have fun at the Marina if you’re visiting Brighton on a budget.

If you take your bike along for your day in Brighton, you can cycle along Brighton’s coastline and finish at Newhaven & Seaford beach, where you can jump on the train back to the city.

13. Experience Brighton’s nightlife

Pub in Brighton

Brighton offers visitors a great night out whether you’re there with friends, family or your significant other.

There are clubs tucked away in the beachfront arches, stylish bars for date night and plenty of traditional but quirky pubs rising from corners around the city.

Some of our favourite watering holes are Patterns on the beachfront during the day, Seven Stars for funky late night vibes and The Mash Tun for a decent pint.

The World’s End is a unique pub in Brighton, where you can play retro arcade games as you sip!

For a top-notch night out in Brighton that will introduce you to some new friends, why not join a local bar crawl ?

14. Extending your day trip to Brighton?

From Brighton, you can easily visit nearby Cambridge and Greenwich on a day trip. Book your adventure here .

Alternatively, set sail to the Isle of White !

Where to eat on your Brighton day trip

Trying to recommend the best place to eat in Brighton isn’t easy. With more bars and restaurants per head than anywhere else in the UK bar London, Brighton has a plethora of excellent eateries so you’ll be spoiled for choice when your stomach starts rumbling.

We had mouthwatering Middle Eastern wraps at Lavash on North Laine , which I’d definitely recommend if you’re into that sort of cuisine.

It took me right back to my time in Dubai !

Lavash - Middle Eastern food in North Laine

For daytime light bites along Brighton seafront, try West Beach Bar & Kitchen .

They have a beachfront terrace that’s great for watching the world go by and their fish goujons are delicious.

West Beach Brighton Cafe

If you’re a carb queen like me, let me direct you to NuPosto . We had a beautiful Italian meal there on the night of our arrival in Brighton.

Best pasta place in Brighton

If you love South Indian food and craft beer, you HAVE to eat at Curry Leaf Cafe in the Lanes.

They’ve won loads of awards and the kooky decor gives the place a wonderfully laid-back feel.

Their Thali trays look incredible, but we were just after something to keep us going for the long drive back Up North so we ordered some open naan wraps.

They were SO tasty – I had paneer and Tom had tandoori chicken.

Best south Indian food in Brighton

If you’d like to support some of Brighton’s many independent foodie businesses, book a foodie walking tour which will take you to visit the city’s best-loved independent food producers and street-food vendors.

The tour I’ve linked above includes vegetarian and vegan options.

Got a sweet tooth? This doughnut tour or this chocolate tour will satisfy that!

How to get to Brighton

If you’re planning a day trip to Brighton from London, you can travel via National Express or Southern Rail.

Where to stay in Brighton if you have more than a day

We were hosted at the City Centre ibis and couldn’t fault it.

It’s right next to the station and a quick walk to the Lanes and seafront, so the location is perfect if you only have two days in Brighton.

We had a partial sea-view, the staff were great and their hygiene standards were flawless.

Plus, I just love those grab n’ go breakfasts… in my world, that means sending Tom down to grab them so I can go back to bed.

Grab n' go breakfast at IBIS Brighton

If you’re after a luxury hotel in Brighton, you can’t go wrong with Malmaison Hotels – but always book direct on their website because they usually have great deals that are only available there.

You can search for your ideal Brighton accommodation using the Booking.com map below.

If you’re planning a day trip to Brighton or visiting the city while exploring England on a trip from overseas, you’re in for a real treat.

I t’s a bohemian city where diversity is celebrated with vigour, and I think every city in the UK could be improved if it took a leaf out of Brighton’s book.

I hope this mini Brighton day trip itinerary has given you loads of inspiration to find the best things to do in Brighton and top places to head to on your visit.

I just wish the city wasn’t such a long drive from Sunderland – or I’d be there every weekend!

IELTS Listening Section 1

Sarah: Good morning. Burnham Coaches, Sarah speaking. How can I help you? Paul: Ah. yes. Good morning. I’m a teacher at the Down Language School. We have a bit of a problem and I was wondering if you could help us out. Sarah: What is the problem exactly? Paul: Well, we normally take our students on an excursion at the end of their course, but unfortunately the coach firm we normally use has let us down. It seems they’ve gone out of business. Sarah: I’m sorry to hear that. I suppose you are looking for a replacement? Paul: Well, yes. We won’t need a very large coach, actually. There will be 30 students and four teachers. Sarah: So that’s 34 in all. [1] And what dates did you have in mind? Paul: The last Saturday and Sunday of this month. That’s the 28th and 29th. Sarah: The 28th and 29th. Does that mean you are planning to stay somewhere overnight? Paul: That’s right. Actually, we want to do the same excursion that we do every year. We usually visit Stonehenge, Salisbury and stay overnight in Bath. It’s a historical tour, really. Sarah: It sounds interesting! Let me just see what we have available. Oh dear, I’m afraid all our coaches are booked out for the 28th. It’s the busiest time of the year for us, actually. Paul: I was afraid that would be a problem. But do you have a coach available for the 29th? Sarah: Yes, we do. And its available for the 30th as well, if that’s any help to you. Paul: I’m afraid not. Sunday is the last day. The students go home on Monday. [2] I think we’ll just have to change our plans a bit and leave out Salisbury. Its a shame, but I don’t think we can fit in all three places in one day. Sarah: So you would like to book the coach for the 29th. visiting Stonehenge and Bath. Is that right? Paul: Yes. I think so. Sarah: Right. I just need a few details, sir. Paul: Okay. My name is Paul Scott. Sarah: S-C-O-T? Paul: It’s double T, actually. [3] Sarah: I’m sorry. And it’s the Down Language School. Could you give me the address for that, Mr. Scott? Paul: Yes, its Down House, Hill Street, Brighton. Do you need the postcode? Sarah: No, that’s not necessary, but I do need a contact number. [4] Paul: Of course. The number for the school secretary is 01273 512 634. You can contact her if you need to speak to anyone. [5] Sarah: Right. And what time would you like the coach to pick you up? Paul: Well, I think we’ll have to make an early start. Would 7.30 be alright? Sarah: Yes, no problem at all. [6] What time do you want to be back? Paul: Oh, any time between ten and eleven will be alright. Not later than eleven, though. [7] Sarah: Right, I’ll make a note of that. 11 pm latest. There’s just one more thing I need to know. Presumably you’ll be visiting Stonehenge first. How long do you want to stay there? Paul: Well, we normally stay about an hour. The main objective of the excursion is for the students to see the Georgian architecture in Bath, really. [8] Sarah: Yes, Bath is lovely, isn’t it? I was there myself a couple of years ago. I thought the Royal Crescent was absolutely stunning. I hadn’t realised how large it is. Well, I think that’s all I need to know, Mr Scott. Thank you for booking with us. Paul: Just a minute, there’s one thing you seem to have forgotten. How much will this cost? Sarah: Oh! I’m terribly sorry. I was thinking about Bath. Just bear with me a moment… Yes, it’s a round trip of 300 miles and a total time of 16 hours for the driver. For a 45-scater coach, that will be a total of £500, including tax and insurance. [9] Paul: Do we have to have such a large coach? There are only 34 of us. Sarah: We don’t have any smaller coaches. I’m afraid. Paul: Oh, well. At least we won’t be cramped for space. When do we have to pay? Sarah: We require a 20% deposit to confirm the booking. I suggest that you do that as soon as possible – today, if you can. The balance you can give to the driver, if you’re paying by cheque. Have the cheque made out to Burnham Coaches. Paul: I think that’ll be alright. I will have to check this with the school accountant, but if all is well I’ll arrange for someone to bring you the deposit within the next two hours. [10] Sarah: That’ll be fine, Mr Scott. Paul: Well, thank you very much indeed. Goodbye. Sarah: Goodbye.

IELTS Listening Section 2

Sally Jackson: Good morning everybody, and welcome to Upton University! I hope you are settling in and beginning to find your way around. I know how confusing it can be when you start life at university, and that’s why we have Freshers’ Week to help you find your feet.

Before I go any further, I should perhaps introduce myself. My name is Sally Jackson and I am the secretary of the Students’ Union, which has organised this week of events for you. You will usually find me in the office on the first floor of this building when I’m not attending lectures! [11] Anyway, down to business.

Of course, there are a few things that you are obliged to get done during your first week here, but once you’ve opened a bank account (if you haven’t got one already) [12] , seen your Director of Studies to discuss which courses you are going to take and signed up with a doctor, there will be plenty of time left to enjoy the events we have arranged for the week.

And have we got a lot lined up for you! Throughout the week from Monday to Friday, every morning starting at 10 am, there will be orientation and welfare events. These will include tours of the campus which, as you have probably noticed, is the size of a small town with 9,000 residential students, as well as sessions on developing study skills. [13] We also have tours of Upton itself arranged for you, with a bus leaving from outside this building every afternoon at 5 o’clock. There are a number of interesting things to do and see in and around Upton, so you can expect visits to the castle and museum as well as the popular ghost walk. [14] You’ll need to sign up for this one, as numbers are limited. Just put your name on the list on the notice board in the entrance lobby.

An important event is scheduled for Monday, that’s the day after tomorrow, when we will be holding the Academic Fair. This is an opportunity for you to speak to students and academic staff about the courses that are on offer. [15] The academic fair starts at one o’clock, by the way.

There are a couple of other fairs that I think will interest you. First of all, we have the Societies Fair on Tuesday the 16th, which I think is an absolute must. You might not believe it, but the university has over 150 societies and sports clubs you can sign up for [16] , so you are sure to find something of interest to you. That also starts at one o’clock, and it will be here in the Union building.

Also in this building is the Trade Fair on Wednesday, from two until five in the afternoon. [17] This one might sound a bit strange because you will find a load of banks and other businesses here trying to get your custom. You will find plenty of bargains and, best of all, a lot of the businesses give away stuff for free!

We’ve also got a great entertainment programme lined up for you, starting tonight with our welcoming party. We have a top band lined up for your entertainment, but I’m not allowed to say who they are. [18-20] All I can say is that I am sure you will not be disappointed. So come along to Blackmoor Hall at nine o’clock this evening to get your university experience off to a flying start! Just one point – I’m afraid this event is limited to freshers only. Because of space restrictions you can’t bring a friend tonight. Sorry about that!

There’s more fun and games on Monday in the Cotswold Theatre here on campus. We have booked two of the cleverest comedians in the country, Paul Frasier and Jenny Brown, for a three-hour show. Paul has assured us that he and Jenny have packed the show with new material and as they always get rave reviews for their shows, I think we can look forward to an evening of great entertainment. That’s in the Cotswold Theatre on Monday evening at 7:30.

Moving along a bit, on Thursday there is an important date for your diaries. This is the official freshers’ opening ceremony, when the Dean welcomes you to Upton University. So remember, Thursday the 18th from 2.30 to 3.30 in Blackmoor Hall. [18-20] You certainly should go to this one and by the way, light refreshments will be available.

At the end of the week, on Saturday, you have the chance to dress up in your smartest evening wear for the official freshers’ ball. Actually, although it’s called a ball, it is quite a relaxed affair so we are more than happy if you turn up wearing jeans and a T-shirt. The important thing is to relax and enjoy yourselves. [18-20] Time and place are the same as for this evenings party – Blackmoor Hall from nine in the evening to three o’clock in the morning.

Right, I think I’ve covered the most important and exciting events we have lined up for you, but there will be plenty of other things going on throughout the week, so remember to check the notice board in the entrance lobby regularly. Enjoy the rest of the day, and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible this evening at the welcoming party.

IELTS Listening Section 3

Tutor: Good afternoon, I hope everything is going well? Right, we’ve been looking at problems some people have with eating and today I’d like to focus on one you’ve probably come across in your reading. It is sometimes called binge eating disorder, or BED. As you know, I am not a particular fan of these acronyms, so I will refer to it by the alternative name, compulsive eating disorder. Has anybody heard of it? Mary: Yes, I have. In fact, I read a case study of a first-year university student who was diagnosed with it. Tutor: Do you remember what the symptoms are? Mary: Well, of course, one symptom is that the person eats too much, although that’s true for other eating disorders as well. [21-23] They also put on weight. [21-23] Tutor: That’s right, whereas in some other conditions, such as bulimia, they don’t, and can actually lose weight. One thing that compulsive eating disorder and bulimia have in common, though, is that the person with the condition often becomes clinically depressed. [21-23] Peter: Are you saying that everybody who is overweight is suffering from the disorder? Tutor: Not at all. What makes the compulsive cater different is the pattern of the disorder. Initially, as we’ve said, the compulsive eater starts eating too much. This seems to be because the sufferer finds comfort in food and eating is seen as a way of coping with problems. They don’t eat because they feel hungry. Mary, in the case study you read, was there any reference to what triggered the problem? Mary: I seem to recall that the student was suffering from stress because she was revising for exams, and she started eating snacks [24] , junk food, while she was studying. Soon, she was eating snacks all the time and it just got worse from there. Tutor: Yes, that sounds plausible, although compulsive eating often starts a lot earlier than the case you describe. Anyway, once the condition has been triggered, often by constant snacking as you mentioned, it becomes progressively worse. Over a period of time, the sufferer loses control of their food intake, they become preoccupied with food, and the binge eating increases. [25] Overeating blocks out negative emotions such as loneliness, worries about work, depression and so on, but it is only a temporary effect. Apart from the physical discomfort that overeating often causes, the sufferer begins to feel embarrassed by their behaviour. [26] They then take drastic action to try to compensate. In an attempt to lose weight, compulsive eaters will try extreme diets, skipping meals or going without any food at all for a day or more. [27] Peter: Not a healthy way to try to lose weight, obviously. Tutor: Absolutely. And, of course, the person has to start eating again at some point. [28] Mary: In other words, it becomes a vicious circle? Tutor: That’s right. Binge eating, extreme dieting or attempts to lose weight by other means, and then binge eating again. Peter: What are the long term effects of compulsive eating? Tutor: As you might expect, these are similar to those for people suffering from obesity. Diabetes is frequently reported. [29] Mary: What about treatment? Tutor: The disorder can be treated, certainly, but there’s always the possibility that the patient will suffer a relapse and start bingeing again. Mary: What does treatment involve? Medication? Tutor: No. It normally involves sessions with a therapist experienced in treating eating disorders. A nutritionist will often be involved as well. Peter: Are there any self-help organisations? I mean, organisations like Alcoholics Anonymous? Tutor: Yes, there are, and you might want to follow this one up for your research. One organisation is called Overeaters Anonymous, [30] and they have what they describe as a twelve-step programme to help people overcome the disorder. You can find out more from the organisation’s website. Right, I think that’ll have given you plenty to follow up, so I’ll sec you at the same time next week.

IELTS Listening Section 4

Lecturer: Male lecturer: I’d like to start by thanking so many of you for attending this, my first public lecture at this magnificent university.

I’m going to be talking to you today about nuclear fusion. Before I proceed further, I would like to apologise on behalf of some of our newspapers for the sensationalist and hopelessly inaccurate articles that have been published on the subject over the years. I must confess that my own interest in the subject was actually stimulated by an article published more than 50 years ago in a popular Sunday tabloid with the impressive title: ‘Power from the Sea.’ [31] Today, most people would probably interpret such a title as an introduction to a discussion on the latest developments in renewable energy sources such as wave technology or generating electricity from tidal flows, but back then little, if any, progress had been made in these fields since the invention of the water wheel.

As I recall, following coverage of the opening of the world’s first commercial nuclear power station, more than 50 years ago now, at Calder Hall in 1956, the article promised that we would have limitless, almost free, electricity within ten years. [32] It claimed that we could do this using an isotope of water, deuterium, from the sea. This would be used in reactors to combine simple molecules of hydrogen to form helium, releasing energy in the process. Of course, this is different from the process of nuclear fission, which today’s nuclear reactors use.

I wouldn’t like to say that the article I read as a boy was totally inaccurate. It’s true that the concept of producing energy from nuclear fusion, essentially reproducing the reactions by which our sun and other stars produce energy, depends on fusing atoms of hydrogen, but the time-scale suggested was hopelessly wrong. To this day, despite some very embarrassing false claims from scientists who should have known better, we have not been able to produce energy from nuclear fusion in a controllable way. Let me make clear what I mean by this statement, before some journalist in the audience gets hold of the wrong end of the stick! Yes, we have been able to fuse hydrogen atoms to produce helium and a release of energy, but the balance account has always been negative – we’ve always had to put more energy into the reaction than we’ve ever succeeded in getting out. [33] We know the theory works, but we still do not know if we can get fusion to work for us and solve the problem of our energy needs.

Here, I will briefly explain these problems before going on to give you a summary of the innovative ways being tested to overcome them. First of all, we have to try to understand the incredible physical conditions that exist inside a natural nuclear fusion reactor such as the sun. To start with, we have to create temperatures never experienced on our planet. Indeed, if we had experienced the temperatures required, then our planet would never have formed. We have to generate temperatures of at least 100 million degrees Celsius in a carefully-controlled environment before we can even hope to produce a fusion reaction. [34] The problems are immense, but it can be done. Many of you will know that you can put your hand into a very hot oven and not get burnt, provided you do not touch any of the surfaces. I won’t go into the reasons for this phenomenon here, but we are applying roughly the same principles in designs for fusion reactors. I think I can promise you that the heat will be confined to a very small area!

The other major problem we have to find a solution to is pressure. The pressures in a massive body like the sun arc vast, and this is what brings the hydrogen atoms into such close proximity to one another that they fuse into helium. We may not have to achieve the same pressures in a fusion reactor, but even so it is a huge technological problem. [35]

What, then, makes me hopeful about the future of energy from nuclear fusion? Perhaps surprisingly, it is developments in laser technology. We can now use lasers to control the nuclear fuel pellets [36] so that they remain suspended inside the reactor [37] , without touching the sides. Remember that these pellets are quite small, and because they contain atoms of deuterium and tritium, the two isotopic forms of hydrogen that can be used in these reactions, they are quite light. The lasers will also compress the fuel pellet to raise the pressure to that required to initiate the fusion reaction. [38]

Another, far more powerful, laser will be used to heat the fuel pellet to the temperature required. This laser, if you like, will act as the trigger to start the reaction. Once started, it is hoped that the reaction will produce enough energy to maintain itself and also that it will produce a surplus in the form of heat that can be used to produce the steam needed to drive turbines in order to generate the electricity the world needs. [39] To give you some idea of how much energy we can produce, it has been calculated that just one kilogram of fusion fuel is capable of producing the same amount of energy as 10,000 tonnes of fossil fuel. [40] I think you would agree that such an objective is worth working towards. I believe, and I am not alone in this, that nuclear fusion could supply the world’s energy needs for centuries to come.

  • A Coach Trip

This listening exercise is about a tour guide talking about a coach trip to a group of tourists. This a multiple-choice listening exercise for Part 4 of the B1 Preliminary Listening Test.  This gives you practice before you take the Cambridge English B1 Preliminary exam.  

B1 Preliminary Listening Test Part 4 – A Coach Trip

You will hear a tour guide talking to a group of tourists about a coach trip.

1. What is the change of plan?

2. Where will they stop for coffee?

3. The town of Brampton became well known because of its

4. What animals will they see in the wildlife park?

5. What time will they arrive back at the hotel?

6. The tour guide asks if anyone

Tour guide: Good morning everyone. I’m your tour guide for today. We’ve made a change to the trip we usually make on Thursdays. I hope none of you will mind. We’re still going to visit the beautiful town of Brampton with its old university, and there’lI be time to look round that as usual. But today, because we have a lot of children here this week, we’re also going to a wildlife park which a colleague of mine has recommended.

On the way to Brampton, we’ll drive through some beautiful countryside. We’ll go over the mountain and we’ll have a lovely view of the lake from the top. We’ll stop there for a few minutes so you can take some photos. In the next valley, we’ll have a break for coffee. There’s a cafe near a beautiful waterfall and if any of you want to go for a walk, you can.

We’ll get to Brampton at about 11.30. It’s a lovely town. We’ll start by taking a guided tour of the university, which was built in the seventeenth century. Then there’lI be time for all of you to have a look at the shops. Most people come to Brampton nowadays for the shops, but it’s the university that made the town famous. If you don’t want to look at the shops, I suggest you visit the museum.

After lunch, we’ll get back on the coach and go to the wildlife park. We need to stay in the coach while we drive round because we’ll see lions in the park, which can obviously be dangerous. Tell your children not to expect it to be like the zoo – the animals are sometimes hiding in the trees. I know some friends of mine have seen some tigers, but I’ve never seen them and I’m afraid they no longer have any monkeys, but you may see some giraffes.

We’ll leave the wildlife park at half past five. The journey back takes about an hour and a quarter, so we’ll return to the hotel at a quarter to seven. There’lI just be time for you to change before dinner at a quarter past seven.

Now then, before we get on the bus, if anyone wants to ask any questions I’ll try to answer them. I’m going to give each of you an information sheet about the places we’re going to visit. Some of you were on yesterday’s trip with me and I know you found the information sheet helpful. So, if we just move over here ….

“Losing parents to cancer was the norm” in the working-class farming town of Wapato, Washington, where Jen Cruz, Ph.D. ’25, grew up. It happened to several of her friends, and then it happened to her. When Cruz was in middle school, her mother died from a rare metastatic brain cancer within a month of diagnosis.

It wasn’t until years later as a first-generation student at Seattle University that Cruz began to think about what it meant to grow up in a rural town with a dearth of social services and a large portion of residents living below the federal poverty line.  

“I was introduced to the concept of inequities and learned to see things through a social justice lens, and that was really my way into understanding where I grew up,” she said. 

“It wasn’t just random that all of my friends’ parents were getting sick and didn’t have access to resources, while someone’s aunt in a wealthier nearby town was able to go to Seattle and get the best care possible.”

These realizations laid the groundwork for Cruz’s pursuit of a career in public health. Currently studying in the  Population Health Sciences  program based at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, she’s pursuing a Ph.D. in what she has termed “applied social epidemiology.” Her dissertation combines social epidemiology, qualitative approaches, and  community-engaged research  to find solutions for reducing inequities in breast cancer screening across rural settings.

Bringing it home

The work could have immediate benefits for her hometown. To conduct her research, Cruz has found partners at local Native-serving organizations and the hospital systems in the region who say her work directly aligns with their strategy around reducing breast cancer rates and improving health equity. Making the work even more poignant is the fact many working at these organizations knew Cruz’s mother. Cruz is looking forward to repackaging her dissertation for these agencies to use.

“This work is so meaningful, not just to me, but also to these health leaders and their goals,” she said. “My success is their success.”

For her dissertation on breast cancer screening inequities, Cruz aims to figure out how best to deliver the health and social services that rural communities need. She starts with the theory that “there’s no one type of rural.” 

“Different communities need different supports, and that even in one community, certain interventions may drive racial inequities.” 

She’s conducting qualitative research in towns in the Lower Yakima Valley, including Wapato, which represent two of the four types of rural communities she identified that differ in their experience of social deprivation. She’ll record healthcare providers’ and residents’ experiences and develop a simulation model that tests ways to reduce breast cancer screening inequities depending on the rural context.

From reactive to proactive

As an undergrad, Cruz majored in psychology, thinking she wanted to provide grief and bereavement care to cancer patients and their families. Her mind changed midway through her postgrad year as a Fulbright scholar, during which she worked in India with epidemiologists studying cancer inequities. “Why would I wait for someone to die?” she remembers thinking. “What if I didn’t have to do the grief work? What if I focus on the public health side and help prevent cancer deaths from occurring in the first place?”

Cruz took this idea and ran with it, earning a master of public health degree in epidemiology from the University of Michigan before enrolling at Harvard to deepen her public health training. She has since developed her own flexible approach to public health. 

“On one hand, I’m an epidemiologist who does statistics and who codes. But I also love deep listening and narratives. And on top of that, all of this research is totally insufficient to me without figuring out its applications,” she said. “That’s ultimately why I chose this program: It allows me to be quantitative and qualitative and to work with scientists and researchers who are actually implementing solutions.”

A sense of community

Cruz said that at the Chan School she has found mentors and a sense of community. “On paper, it looks like I’ve always known exactly what I’ve been doing, right?” In reality, she said, she’s relied on the advice of mentors to forge her path. “In every place and at every institution, there have been people who have invested in me and with whom I’ve been able to build community and trust. That’s what has pushed me in the right direction.”

Associate Professor  Shoba Ramanadhan , for example, encouraged Cruz to apply to Harvard. She also spent a few days in Wapato with Cruz while visiting the Pacific Northwest last year for a conference.

“Jen brings her unique experiences, identities, and vision for the world” into her work, Ramanadhan said. “The ways and extent to which her action-oriented research is grounded in community show promise for the future of public health.”

Cruz has herself become a mentor in her current neighborhood of Boston. Volunteering at a local COVID-19 vaccine clinic led to a deeper partnership with the Allston-Brighton Health Collaborative. In 2022, she helped launch the Community Health Advocate Mobilization Program, which provided 12 Allston-Brighton residents with a crash course in public health concepts and methodologies, from health equity to data-driven decision-making. Today, the program, which is funded by the  Harvard Presidential Public Service Fellowship  and  Rose Service Learning Fellowship , is expanding to serve more cohorts and work with other Boston organizations on community leadership development.

“Community health work can really meaningfully take root and affect people’s lives,” Cruz said. “It just takes someone investing in people and not deciding for them.”

Cruz is committed to upholding this spirit in future public health work — whether she continues to focus on cancer equity or branches out to explore other interests, such as gender as a social determinant of health. She’s also wide open to where she might work, be it a university, a public health department, or a community organization, in the U.S. or abroad.

No matter how her path continues to unfold, what keeps Cruz grounded is where — and whom — she came from.

“It’s all because I lost my mom. My life could have gone in two directions: I could get lost to this not-great circumstance, or I could use it,” Cruz said. “I’ve gone further than I ever expected, doing work that’s rooted not only in my training, but also in what I’ve experienced, and staying true to that — even when it’s hard.”
