http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33184 Tucked under the Victorian Arches, on Brighton beach, the ‘Fortune of War’ bar is the place to go.
Hip at any time – but give it a whirl on the longest night of the year, the winter solstice, and you will not regret it.
Buy a good hot mulled wine or two to get into the festive spirit and then walk down to Madeira Drive to watch Brighton’s annual ‘Burning the Clocks’. Amazing and unique, paper and willow lanterns, in all shapes and sizes, are carried in a parade through the city, illuminating the spectators, and then burnt on the beach. Tradition has it that all the hopes and dreams of the lantern makers are passed into the fire.
Followed by a great firework display over the sea, the festive mood has been set, so back inside for another mulled wine or two. Happy Christmas!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33184 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23142 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23142 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19548 Just off the seafront.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19548 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13064 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13064 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8980 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8980 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8973 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8973 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7509 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7509 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7410 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7410 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2764 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2764 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1165 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1165
