Central Brighton is fairly compact so it\u2019s easy to travel on foot. In fact touristy areas such as the North Laine, The Lanes and Brighton Pavilion Gardens can only really be explored by walking.\u00a0 Both the Clarendon Centre (the main venue) and The Skiff (for contribution day) are in the centre of the city near Brighton Railway Station. From there it’s a short stroll to the North Laine for shops, pubs and restaurants and only a 25 minute walk to the beach.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udeb2\u00a0Cycling<\/h2>\n

My favourite way to get around in Brighton is to cycle. It\u2019s usually much quicker than getting the bus and there are plenty of places to lock your bike.\u00a0 You shouldn\u2019t find it too much of a work out as the town centre is quite flat. Bikes can be hired by the minute from www.btnbikeshare.com<\/a>. They have docking stations around the city, so you can pick up and drop off in different places.\u00a0 You\u2019ll need to register in advance.\u00a0 You can also hire bikes from a more traditional bike shop (brightoncyclehire.co.uk) which is next to Brighton Station.<\/p>\n

For further information about bike hire and cycling in the city see the Visit Brighton website.<\/a><\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude82\u00a0The Train<\/h2>\n

Depending on where you are staying in the city or surrounding area, it may make sense to get the train to the venue. It’s only a 5-minute walk to the Clarendon Centre from Brighton Station.\u00a0 Use the exit at the rear of the station and enjoy a short walk through “Brighton Greenway” nature corridor.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude8c\u00a0The Bus<\/h2>\n

The Brighton and Hove bus company covers most of the city.\u00a0 Singles cost \u00a32.20 for the city centre and \u00a32.60 further afield. Day tickets range from are \u00a34.40 for 1 day and \u00a38.25 for 2 days.\u00a0 You can download an app<\/a> to buy tickets on your phone (they are slightly cheaper) and look up live times.<\/p>\n

The number 6 bus goes to Brighton station 7 minutes from the venue and the 5, 5a and 5b stop 3 minutes from the venue.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude97\u00a0Driving<\/h2>\n

Driving around central Brighton can be quite time consuming and it\u2019s often quicker to walk or cycle. If you do decide to drive there are on street parking and car parks available. Please make sure that you park in a marked parking space with a correct ticket as there are traffic wardens everywhere!\u00a0 It\u2019s really not worth the risk.<\/p>\n

The closest car parks to the venue are at Brighton Station Car park and London Road car park (Providence Place,\u00a0Brighton\u00a0BN1\u00a04GE).\u00a0 There are blue badge parking bays near the Clarendon centre on Stroudley Road. For a full list of blue badge bays in Brighton see the council list here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude95\u00a0Taxi<\/h2>\n

There are taxi ranks around the city and at Brighton Station and you can also hail taxis in the street.\u00a0 If you want to pre book try Radio Cabs<\/a> or Streamline<\/a>. You can book online or by phone. Lots of taxis take contactless card but it\u2019s best to check in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
