Burning of the Clocks : 21st December 2007
Tuesday 27 November 2007
Brighton celebrates the shortest day of the year with a paper lantern parade through the city. The theme for the lanterns changes every year but the costumes worn by those taking taking part are supposed to include a clock-face to represent the passing of time.
The actual ceremonial 'burning of the clocks' takes place when the lanterns representing the old year are burnt on a bonfire on the seafront. This is then followed by a spectacular fireworks display which makes way for the New Year and the coming of spring.
For more details visit www.burningtheclocks.co.uk where you can also purchase a lantern kit if you want to participate.

Friday 10 August 2007
Did you know Brighton now has it's own fleet of 6-seater tuc tucs ? Each of the 12 vehicles has it's own name and distinctive, painted personality. They also have 17-inch TV screens with free Bluetooth and free WiFi on board!
These environmentally friendly vehicles, normally seen and heard seen buzzing around the crowded streets of major Asian cities, run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and produce virtually no harmful emissions.
If you take our Brighton Tour and want to explore a little further, why not go green and call for a tuc tuc to take you eastwards along the seafront to the Marina or westwards to neighbouring Hove ?
