Ah, a trip to Brighton’s seaside. It’s a tale of two halves really: on one hand, a buzzing day out, filled with fun, family/friends, and of course, fish and chips. However, in the early morning and late evening, it can be a lot more serene: the soothing sounds of crashing waves; the quietly, unforgettable scenes of sunrise or sunset – bliss. Embodying this tranquil mood of the sea, we bring news of several magical Candlelight concerts taking place in sunny Brighton.
Just a pebble’s throw from the seafront, and a 5-minute stroll from Brighton Pier and the quaint Lanes, The Royal Pavilion will host candlelit evenings of music. A string quartet will be taking on hits from iconic bands such as ABBA and Queen as well as the works from esteemed composers at these fabulous Candlelight concerts that are ready to wow audiences in one of Brighton’s most magnificent venues.
The Royal Pavilion: A breathtaking venue fit for royalty
The Royal Pavilion is a stunning Grade I listed landmark located just off Brighton Beach. The building was constructed in 1787 and has housed kings and queens over the centuries including King George IV who used it as a dazzling summer retreat. Taking inspiration from French neoclassical architecture, the building’s majestic interior is breathtaking, and the grand chandeliers and priceless artwork on display add to the grandeur of the venue.
This season, the Candlelight series is giving music lovers the chance to hear gorgeous renditions of their favourite songs in one of Brighton’s most beautiful locations. Make a magical evening spent at the seaside even more special with the help of these fabulous Candlelight concerts.
With these bursts of warm, sunny spells the last couple of months, us Londoners are probably familiar with the route to Brighton. Just hop aboard the train from London Bridge, London Blackfriars or Farringdon, pop in your headphones for an hour, and you’ll be there at the top of the hill at Brighton station, ready to mosey on down to the seafront. The Royal Pavilion is just a 10-minute stroll from the station.
