We'd bought a voucher through Wriggle - hot dog & free flowing prosecco for £9.95 (1-4pm) & I must admit we weren't sure how it would live up to our expectation but we were both really pleased - our hot dogs were really tasty, although a little small to be classed as a meal, but the free flowing prosecco was exactly that! After being given a wrist band to show that we were in the prosecco club, we never had an empty glass, staff wandered around all afternoon topping up our glasses, we never had to go to the bar or ask for a top up. It was great - I will definitely go back, it was such great value!

I went there on Saturday night to see the films they were showing as part of the annual White Night festival and have to say whilst I wasn't blown away by the quality of the 4 films I watched, I thought the space and concept was great.

I saw what was probably the worst film I have ever seen here, but that's not giving the Lighthouse the credit it deserves. It is a wonderful place that offers both performance and training. The building is modern and clean and there is a small downstairs bar where you can congregate before, or after performances. Okay, so the film I saw was dire, but that was just bad luck. The Lighthouse offers an insight into Brighton's creative side that you might not always know exists. Yes there are bands and painters, but the performing arts are often overlooked. I strongly advise checking the listings and giving this place a go. I gave it a go and although I didn't enjoy the particular performance, I am so glad I know places like Lighthouse exist.

Situated directly up Southover street, just off the centrally located Old Stein area of Brighton,…read moreup the long old hill, and past numerous pubs to stop in on the way (if you have the time and money) lies Hanover Community Centre. Of course, these location details are extremely important because it would be a travesty if one was to mistake this area with the one googlemap tells me is due east 437.04 miles in central Germany. It is not. Anyway, so now we are comfortable and secure in the knowledge of where exactly Hanover Community Centre is, lets continue. The centre, although a relatively small and unassuming area fits the needs of the close knit local community perfectly and holds events regularly with a strong local presence attending. The annual Hanover Beer Festival is a perfect example of this. Tightly cramming over a hundred people and 50+ kegs of beer, wine and cider from all over the U.K. into one marquee in the car park and large amounts of the profit going to charity, there is a real ram shackle old knees up feel about the festival. At the core of this old fashioned and uncommercialised event is underpinned a warming community vibe, which is generously and quite cheaply lubricated by Beers with such charming names as Old Chippers Nib and Arse'ole. The only thing missing here is Hugh Furnley-Whittingstall and Cornwall, but to be honest in the excited countrified, fair atmosphere you quickly forget, which I think is a testament to an event run in a suburban area of a South-Eastern city, and of course to the 8% cider which aides the easy transformation. The Beer Festival though is one night in a year, and the Community Centre offers so much more than that, providing classes every week day in true Brighton spirit ranging from Breast Feeding to Tai Chi and Spanish Language. Long I hope may Hanover Community Centre continue to provide such events, with a real human, relaxed, and community touch for many years to come, fending off the encroachment of corporate swag working its way around Brightons best kept secrets. Hoorah and Cheers!

Newly arrived in Hanover? Looking for evening activities or local community events? Look no…read morefurther! Even if you're a long time resident of the area, this place is a great resource, and if it has somehow passed you by, you'll want to listen up! The Hanover Community Centre is a lively and bustling locus of activity on Southover St. You need never complain of restlessness or boredom again, with such a diverse and exciting schedule of hobby and educational classes on offer. On any given evening of the week, you will find children's dance classes, yoga (Iyengar, Hatha etc.), art and martial art classes. The Woodcraft Folk meet on Thursdays and there are also various language and exercise classes that regularly use the hall. Look out for one off events and film screenings as well as fayres, fundraisers and the famous Hanover Beer festival in the Autumn. They also operate as an arts venue during the Brighton festival in May, so keep your eyes peeled for interesting events! The Christmas fayre is held in mid December and is always full of local artisans selling their crafts, as well as yummy festive treats! Definitely worth a visit...

Sea gulls call and for a moment, you forget that you are at a work event and it's just you and the gentle bobbing of water under the deck at your feet. If you are looking for that absolutely unique event that people will be talking about for months, give TopSail Events a call. For corporate events, weddings or just a great social outing, book a cruise on a tall ship or river barge down the River Thames. Topsail handles it all for you. In fact- you can even go clay pigeon shooting on the Thames (who knew?). The food is top notch- appetizers served by friendly servers (they must love their jobs being outside on the water all day) and the desserts? Heavenly. The ship that I was on was a fully restored tall ship and you can bet that it was an unforgettable experience when the Tower Bridge had to open to let our ship sail under. Tourists on other boats and on the bridges took pictures of us as we sipped our champagne and nibbled on our tasty bites. Below deck is a full galley and a large room that can be furnished with tables if you are having a dinner, or sofas and conversation areas if it is cocktails only. There are also restrooms on board which are as nice as any I've seen. The cruise goes down river to Greenwich passing the Canary Wharf and other points of interest and then turns around with the finale being the opening of the Tower Bridge to let the ship through. TopSail events will work with your organization to make your night out the perfect experience but check out their website as they already have some great suggested packages set up. I've been to London many times . . . but never have I had the experience of taking a Tall Ship down the river with a glass of champagne in my hand. Truly a once in a lifetime event!

Often, when I sit in a café and plug in my laptop, one of…read morethe servers looks at me like she's trying to decide whether to charge me more for my coffee now that I'm draining the electricity. Moksha, on the other hand, has outlets under almost every table. I'd say almost half of the customers were typing or surfing away on the free wifi whilst I drank my tea. And it was delicious tea - winter spiced red. Mmm. Moksha offers many different flavours, all for £1.50, and other hot drinks like mochacinos, americanos and lattes in two sizes. Smoothies are £2.95 each and named things like, 'Cardio Angel' and 'Flu Fighter.' Yummy and healthy-sounding. Snackables range from cakes (such as carrot cake, blueberry and cinnamon loaf, and brownies) to sandwiches, quiches and jacket potatoes. It looks like a great place to stop for lunch; as menu items are all under £5. Meal-size salads are the most expensive, at £4.50, and I'm quite tempted to return for the Roasted Butternut Squash and Feta salad. Wow-y. With plenty of tables and couches, friendly staff and the multitude of available outlets, I'll definitely be back here to work on my term paper/sample some deliciousness in the near future.

Hmmm...i've hesitated in reviewing this place previously, simply because I couldn't make my mind up…read morewhat to think. I'm not sure I have a coherent opinion now, but I'm gonna share my rambling thoughts... Moksha is an independent cafe. Tick, we like that. The name is interesting and comes from Sanskrit and according to their website, "Moksha frees the soul from all limitations, restrictions and conditions whatsoever, conferring full and total satisfaction and peace." Interesting. Why then does this place look like a Starbucks? Maybe it's just me, but full and total satisfaction are not found in pleather furniture and boring, standardized decor. Inject some character and individuality, and then talk to me about freeing my soul! I just don't really understand- the last thing we need is independent businesses mimicking multinational corporate chains, especially in Brighton, which is fast losing it's face. Beyond my own personal grievances, this cafe does nice food (jacket potatoes, quiches, sandwiches and salads), which is fresh and tasty. It does also have a nice chilled (if manufactured) ambiance and they have occasional gigs and free wifi. Just not the stuff dreams are made of, at least not for me!

We drove past the building the first time. It is a miserable grey looking building and it just moulds into the local scenery because all the nearby buildings look the same. Check-in is as 3pm and you cannot gain access any earlier. We were early so we paid and displayed in their car park which was a reasonable £5 for four hours and asked at reception for directions into town. We were quoted a 20 minute walk. It was nearer to 35 minutes in reality. When we returned to the Travelodge there was a queue of people waiting to be served but it was all amicable and didn't take long for the reception staff to shift the queue. There is an ice cream vending machine in the reception area. Check-in was quick and easy. We were issued door cards and went to our room. We took the stairs to the first floor. The stair walls were heavily marked but not dirty. The bedroom was a good size. The floor was clean, the bin empty. There were enough towels and toilet rolls. The only real complaint we had about the room was that the toilet had not been cleaned and the previous guest had left us a sizable present. The toilet bin lid appeared to have faeces on it. The shower curtain was yellowing and there was mould along the bottom of the curtain and in the shower grout. The bed was clean and smelt freshly bleached. We voiced our concerns about the dirty toilet as we were leaving for the wedding reception and the young man who helped us was so helpful he was going to give us a new room. We were in a rush so we asked him to get someone to just clean it instead. It was sparkling when we returned. When we returned, we ordered a nightcap from the bar. Unfortunately they could only take card payments because they didn't have enough change in the till. I'd thought that was kind of a given basic in retail, but we paid by card. We sat in the lounge area with the hard no-thrills sofas. They had the footy on in the corner. It was warm. This Travelodge isn't too far from a railway line where the trains rumble past quite frequently. The last one i heard was at half one in the morning and they were still passing at half six, roughly every twenty minutes. For breakfast, we took the lift down. There are two lifts, both are small (hold 8 small people each) and were really dirty and smelt a bit. We were greeted by the kitchen staff when we entered the lounge for breakfast. That was nice. Items available were a range of boxed cereals, milk, croissants, toast, muffins, a range of spreads, yoghurts and sausages, bacon, tomatoes, egg and beans. The cooked foods were all tasty, except for the scrambled egg, which had no flavour at all. Tea, coffee and juices were also available. You'll need to get down there within half an hour of it opening as seating is limited. There is also a free pay phone for the use of calling taxi's which everyone in Brighton seems to do as the fares are so cheap! The staff were very helpful. Check out was a doddle you just hand your door cards back in at receptions and that's it you're free to go:)
