Gay
Travel Guide Brighton 2008
|
|
Brighton
has long been a popular gay holiday / weekend break destination
with a large local community, a thriving gay scene, as well
as being a traditional popular holiday destination with many
amenities. Many thousands of Londoners looking to escape the
city descend on this south coast resort every summer. Despite
having a pebble beach, the town has many attractions, with obvious
tourist attraction including the pier and pavillion.
The "Lanes" are great for shopping and there is
large conference centre/ cinema complex for entertainment.
The highlight of the gay calendar is the annual Brighton and
Hove Pride held in August which attracts over 50,000 visitors.

 Not
every gay man can afford, or even wants, to pack up the suntan
lotion and shorts for an exotic vacation so the Gay Times
Great Britain and Ireland guide is perfect for those who want
to explore Gay Britannia.
Written
by John Szponarski, the book covers the gay scene in the country's
most popular cities such as London and Manchester, and also
takes in the new gay scenes exploding out of the depths of
rural England too. Bars, clubs, pubs, saunas, hotels and cruising
grounds are all covered here in a lively and down-to-earth
style. Jonathan Weir.
