Brighton Palace Pier
A Victorian pleasure pier opened in 1899, extending more than 500 meters into the sea, with arcade games, roller coasters, and fish and chips.
Brighton Palace Pier opened in 1899 and is about 525 meters long. It is Britain's most iconic pleasure pier. The entrance is a lively amusement arcade. The middle section has doughnut, candyfloss, and fish-and-chips stalls, as well as deckchairs. At the far end are small roller coasters, a spinning tower, and other rides. Entry to the pier is free, while rides are charged separately or covered by a wristband. From the pier in the evening you can look back at the coastline and the i360, and at night the whole pier lights up with bulbs. Opening hours vary by season, and some rides close on very windy days. Seagulls will steal food, so keep an eye on your snacks.
Opening hours
About 10:00–22:00 (varies by season)
