The buildings close at 8p.m. and are open for three hours on Saturday. The student union has over 40 activity clubs and societies. The City The seaside city is bright and bustling, upbeat and unconventional, cosmopolitan and con- temporary. It’s a place where students can be themselves - or reinvent themselves. In fact students make up over ten percent of the city population. Brighton offers something for everyone whether its sports, music, shopping, or talking with peers over a meal. Visitors and residents love Brighton for the sea, the beach, the Regency architecture, the extrava- gant Royal Pavilion, two piers and the Lanes (the fishing village from which Brighton developed) now a maze of narrow thoroughfares packed with boutiques and cafes ranging from vegan to fish n’ chips. Brighton’s cultural life is rich and diverse. The Theatre Royal, the Dome, the University’s Sallis Benney Theatre, the Gardner Arts Centre, and many smaller venues provide a variety of live performances including pre-London productions. The Brighton Festival, which runs for three weeks each May, is the largest arts festival in England and features a mixture of traditional and innovative musical and performing arts. A major festival exhibition is staged each year in the university’s Grand Parade gallery.

  • Position Statement on the Value and Needs of Small Community Groups
    Small Groups Network Position Statement on the Value and Needs of Small Community Groups A description of a small community group in Brighton and Hove Small, community based groups are founded and organised around activities that the members themselves have decided are important. These groups can have no paid staff and are often run by fewer than 10 core volunteers, although activities can be supported by many more. Often unfunded, these groups form the front line of a community and voluntary sector whose work benefits everyone in the city. They play a vital role in resilience of the city’s communities through innovative and creative approaches to what is important to them. The Resource Centre, a sector support organisation, estimates that there are well over 700 small groups in the city1 making up a large proportion of the community and voluntary sector locally. Community Works has 214 small groups in its membership (see Appendix 1 on page 6). Small groups characteristically have a very open and informal structure. The management of the group and its activities are generally carried out by the same people and the existence of the group is often entirely dependent on the voluntary commitment of these core people. The producers and the consumers of the group’s activity are often the same people. It is acknowledged that it is hard to define small groups and it can be unhelpful to put boundaries around what they do because groups may change structure as they develop. Nationally, there is no consistent definition, although groups can be described as ‘informal’, ‘unregulated’ and ‘below the radar’.

  • Beautiful, Brilliant Brighton
    Level 3 Beautiful, brilliant Brighton 1 THINK ABOUT IT Beautiful, brilliant Brighton A The two adjectives before the name of the town start with the same letter as the town. This is called dvanced alliteration: the use of the same letter or sound at the beginning of words in a sentence, especially in poetry. Invent similar slogans for any two other cities, e.g. ‘Lively, loud London’ and ‘Pretty, peaceful Paris’. Then have a class competition to see who can invent the best slogan for your town. 2 WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Skim-read the article to find the words that fit in the gaps. The paragraph number will help you. 1. A structure built out from the land over water, especially at the seaside, where people can go to walk and for entertainment. _____________________ (para 1) 2. An area of water beside the land that is designed for keeping small private boats in. _____________________ (para 1) 3. An organization to which you give money so that it can help people who are poor or ill, or who need advice and support. _____________________ (para 2) 4. This describes the idea that people who are lesbian or gay should be proud. _____________________ (para 2, two words) 5. A small stone, especially one that has been made smooth by water. _____________________ (para 3) 6. A word meaning lively and exciting and bright and colourful. _____________________ (para 3) 7.

  • Ladies Mile Road, Mile End Cottages, 1-6 Historic Building No CA Houses ID 75 & 275 Not Included on Current Local List
    Ladies Mile Road, Mile End Cottages, 1-6 Historic Building No CA Houses ID 75 & 275 Not included on current local list Description: Brown brick terrace of six cottages, with red brick dressings and a clay tile roof. Two storey with attic; a matching dormer window has been inserted into the front roof slope of each property. The terrace is set at right angles to the road, at the western end of Ladies Mile Road, a drove road which became popular as a horse-riding route in the late 19th century. The properties themselves are of late 19th century date. They are first shown on the c.1890s Ordnance Survey map. A complex of buildings is shown to the immediate west of the cottages on this map. Arranged around a yard, this likely formed agricultural buildings or service buildings associated with Wootton House. The architectural style and physical association of the cottages to these buildings and the drove road suggests they may have formed farmworkers’ cottages. A Architectural, Design and Artistic Interest ii A solid example of a terrace of worker’s cottages B Historic and Evidential Interest ii Illustrative of the agricultural origins of Ladies Mile Road as a drove road and associated with the historic agricultural village of Patcham. C Townscape Interest ii Outside of Patcham Conservation Area, but associated with its history and contributes positively to the street scene F Intactness i Although some of the windows have been replaced, and there are modern insertions at roof level (particularly to the rear), the terrace retains a sense of uniformity and completeness Recommendation: Include on local list Lansdowne Place, Lansdowne Place Hotel, Hove Historic Building Brunswick Town Hotel ID 128 + 276 Not included on current local list Description: Previously known as Dudley Hotel.
