A whole month has passed since the wonders of WordCamp Brighton 2018. We don’t know about you, but we’re already looking forward to doing it all again in 2019!

We want to say another HUGE thank you to all of our volunteers, sponsors, speakers, and attendees 💜. You made our third WordCamp here in Brighton one to remember, and we’re so grateful that you came along and joined in on the fun.

Some folk have also been kind enough to write up their experience of WordCamp Brighton in the form of a blog post, and we’ve shared these below.

Luckily Brighton has a wide range of accommodation options so, even in the summer, it should be easy to find somewhere to stay. The venues are very close to Brighton station so you could also stay further afield in places such as Portslade, Southwick, Lewes, Eastbourne or Worthing and get the train in for WordCamp. And, if you are a party animal, don’t worry, night buses cover most of the city and surrounding area.

Budget

Hostels

If you are on a tight budget or with a group of friends the cheapest option is a dorm room in a hostel. All hostels also offer budget rooms which are usually cheaper than a hotel if you want a single room.

A short walk from the venue with prices starting at £24pn

Home Brighton
33 Richmond Pl, Brighton BN2 9NA
Home is very close to the venue, from £20 pn.

Budget rooms

University of Brighton £40

This is a great option if you are looking for a single room. It offers en suite single accommodation with free WiFi access throughout private parking free of charge, very rare for Brighton.

There are loads of Air bnbs in Brighton and the surrounding area from £20 per night.  Places such as Portslade, Southwick and Worthing will be cheaper than Brighton and have direct trains and night buses to Brighton Station.

Mid range

The nearest hotels to the venue are the Jury’s Inn Brighton and the Ibis Brighton Station . Both have good reviews.

There are loads of B&Bs in the central Brighton area such as The Brighton House Hotel and Guest and the City.

Luxury

If youv’e decided to spoil yourself then take your pick of one of the seafront hotels such as The Grand, luxury B&Bs such as Blanch House or a quirky boutique hotel such as Hotel Pelirocco or The Artist’s Residence.

Tell me more about WordCamp Brighton…

WordCamp Brighton is for anyone and everyone who has an interest in WordPress. On the 17th and 18th August there will be a series of fantastic talks and workshops running in the Clarendon Centre, where we’ll also be putting on some extra fun activities for you to enjoy throughout the conference. Contribution Day will take place on the 19th August at The Skiff.

Oh, and no WordCamp would be complete without an afterparty! We’ll be hosting ours at Patterns – an awesome venue located just a few steps away from Brighton’s seafront. Whilst we can’t guarantee the sun will be shining, lots of fun will be had regardless of the weather.

More info about our venues and what will happen on the day will be shared in our About section: https://2018.brighton.wordcamp.org/about-wordcamp-brighton-2018/
