Here are some of our favourite things to do in Brighton at Christmas:

• Ice Skating At Brighton Royal Pavilion: Throughout December and January, you can skate around a festive 800 square metre ice rink with the Royal Pavilion as a beautiful backdrop. For those of you that need a break or want to watch as skaters pass you by, a cosy rink-side café is available for food and warm winter drinks.
• Burning Of The Clocks: A unique community event, usually held on the 21st December each year. To mark the shortest day of the year, the people of Brighton & Hove come together with homemade paper lanterns and parades them around the city before burning them on a huge bonfire on Brighton beach as a token of the year's end.
• The Santa Dash: Hundreds of locals take to the seafront's promenade dressed in their finest Santa costume to run in aid of their own charitable causes. It makes for a great photo opportunity and is a fun way to spread a good bit of Brighton Christmas cheer!
