Only in Brighton, a walking tour led by local tour guide and performer Ric Morris, highlights the lesser-known curiosities of the city.

Ric said about his tour: “Brighton possesses so much that is distinctive and unique – a Green MP, the independent shops, street art, the gay community – I want to celebrate these alongside the quirky facts that this city so regularly throws up.” 

As well as highlighting the alternative side of the city, Ric puts a new spin on the well-known aspects of Brighton’s past such as the Prince Regent and the Royal Pavilion.

He said: “Prince George really was the first person to put the ‘party’ into Brighton – his antics could fill a book, while the Pavilion is an amazing building – sometimes we need reminding of that”.

Ric has designed Only in Brighton to appeal both to locals and visitors. He continued: “There are some in-jokes for people who live here, and I guarantee everybody will find out something about Brighton they didn’t know before. Equally, it is a great way for people on their first visit to look beyond the picture postcards and find out what really makes the city tick”.

Ric has been a qualified Blue Badge Tourist Guide for 13 years and performs improvised comedy with Brighton-based troupe The Twitnits.

Only in Brighton runs every Friday and Saturday evening at 7pm from outside Al Duomo restaurant, next to the Royal Pavilion, from April 4 to the end of October.

The cost is £8 (£6 concessions) and there is no need to book.
