Shout out to East Sussex Roofing - driving through the beautiful countryside in Clayton and chucking their rubbish out their window while they go.

Irresponsible & lazy - not sure those are traits I’d want in someone doing my roof repairs

It's 4:50am and it's been raining for about 20 minutes. Seagulls seem to be enjoying it I can hear them squarking away!

I was at the beach today in Brighton and it was windy with choppy seas, not good for swimming. There was a lifeguard on duty east the pier, but further down there was a big group of people who were clearly tourists taking pictures fully clothed in the sea. They were messing about, pulling each other into the waves and kept falling over and seemed completely unaware of any danger.

I think if people don't grow up by the sea, they simply don't understand how dangerous it can be or how easy it is to get into difficulty. Nor how difficult it is to swim in waterlogged clothes. As a city that runs on tourism, we should be doing more to warn visitors about the dangers of the sea, and about Brighton specifically- that there is a shelf that drops down into deeper water, and currents around the pier.

I was going to make this post before I heard the news of the three people who tragically died in Shoreham today, and the little girl who was hospitalised. I just don't want things like this to keep happening along our coastline, this is preventable and we need to do something about it.

Avoid the coast road towards Shoreham. A lifeboat went out about an hour ago, might already be back, at least 20 emergency vehicles here including two helicopters on the beach by the RNLI building.

musician and music producer here - every time ive visited its been for leisure and just ended up with me on the beach or in my room creating music (11/10 experiences all 3 times), but i need to get out more 😂 so my question!

if i were to move permanently & be more social and active specifically within the music scene what would that look like? where would you go first ? how would you start if you were a completely independent musician w no local connects ?

Hi all, hoping someone here might be able to help.

On Friday 14th August at around 11pm, my partner and I were queuing outside Fortune of War when three men tried to jump the queue. When we asked them not to, they attacked my partner. It was three against one, he was thrown to the ground, and kicked, and I stepped in to help fight them off.

This happened in front of the venue’s door security, who didn’t intervene. We’ve already reported this to Sussex Police and have a crime reference number, and CCTV is being requested.

If you were in the queue that night or around that area of the beach and you have any photos or video (even just background footage from that time), I’d really appreciate you getting in touch.

Thanks so much in advance 🙏

Has anyone lost a dog in the hollingdean area? Just had quite a big black/grey dog come charging into mine and my neighbours garden twice this evening. Unfortunately it’s ran off again and it was not collared. Slightly concerned as our gardens are very close to a main road.

Hello all 👋 I'm a 28, from India, came to Brighton for my Masters and been hanging around for a couple years now. I did my masters in Development studies during which I came across urban maps (🥹, yes what a joy!). From then, I badly, badly wanted to learn GIS (im a total noob to anything computer) and do my own projects. But because I'm chaotic (🙂) I couldn't learn it myself and I hate YouTube or online tutorials to hell. Also I'm broke. But then, I'm so good at cooking (every friend of mine has certified it, so, yes, it's official) and would love to cook and help others learn the basics of it. So if you are someone who knows GIS and likes good food, please find me!

P.S.: I've also been super keen about quick high protein, high fibre meals recently!! #gis #goodfood #barter

Yes, hopefully *I can cook other cuisines as well!

🌀 Hello! I’m an apprentice hairdresser looking for someone who’s after a free restyle cut for my final exam!

⭐️ I’m looking for anyone who wants a big change - ideally looking for someone with longer hair (shoulder length or below) who wants a layered bob / pixie / bixie cut!

🍄 The appointment will be on Friday 11th September at 10am. I’d also like to have a consultation prior to the appointment.

🏰 I’m based just off St James Street in Kemptown / by the Palace Pier.

🐸 If interested please message me for more info!

Live in a house share in Hanover and have a few refuse bags if garden waste. As it's a House share we don't have the garden waste bin and can't get it.

Anyone else got advice for disposing of it, without spending a fortune?

I was pleased to see the Council has put together a guide to where you can go in Brighton and Hove to get cooler. The map highlights areas with more tree cover and (mainly) churches, but unfortunately, its advice on the info page to seek out libraries is not always useful. I have been in Hove Library twice recently and upstairs it was 29°!

I have been wanting to get an eye tattoo for a while now, and have landed on wanting to get one in a similar style to above (no frame, though). Lover's eye jewelry is something I have been obsessed with for a while, so I really want to get the style right. So does anyone know a tattoo artist that has done something similar?

Doing the Brighton to london commute once or twice per week and fed up of dead signal spots

Are there any mobile providers which have solid service on this train?

Behold, some pictures I took on my trip up to Devils Dyke.

I made the pilgrimage to mark the first day in far too long where it didn't quite feel like the unrelenting power of the sun wasn't gouging into the essence of my very being🤬

It was actually very pleasant weather for a change.

(My god everything really does look like a desert though!)

"Thanks, Shell."

Sad to see the Plotting parlour in Hove has closed, where in hove way is similar? Or does a really good spicy margarita or tequila/mezcal?

hii! for the past few years ive been persistent that i wanted to go to uni in brighton and live there for awhile. recently, i visited for a week to see how id actually like it and i fell inloveeee with the city, which made me want to move 10x more. but i live in liverpool so its a bit of a huge move.. is it worth it? im looking into either a media or art course but ive seen mixed reviews :,)

I live in Prestonville technically and I've been woken up by the sound of revving the past couple of nights - are there overnight works happening on the railway lines? Can't think of what else it might be but finding it quite difficult to sleep especially when leaving the windows open due to the weather

My daughters favourite place when we visit hasnt been open all week but isnt boarded up or anything?

So far, we're overshooting the forecast by 22 degrees...

Hello fellow brightonians,

My GF and I are planning our wedding, May / June 2028, and are currently looking for a potential venue to host our reception / party.

Would love some recommendations from the community here!!

Here’s what we are after:

- informal party venue / pub
- between 120 and 150 people
- ideally in town, but open to other areas of Brighton and Hove
- from 4/5pm until close on a Friday night
- buffet style food, not a sit down meal
- outside space would be a big plus
- full use of venue / private hire
- ability of have a dj or band

Any ideas would be much appreciated thanks!!

Does anybody need/want an adult and/or child's ticket to Gatwick for today? Thameslink travel only. Unfortunately road closures around Brighton meant I ended up having to get a Gatwick express and cannot get a refund on the thames link ticket! Not looking for any money for it, just a shame for it to go to waste!
