Plan your trip

Make the most of your trip to Brighton and turn your visit to the Gem Fair into a full, inspiring weekend by the sea.

Join us on Thursday, then why not stay on and explore everything the city has to offer? Friday is the perfect time to dive into the Brighton Fringe Festival, with an incredible mix of performances, pop-ups, exhibitions, and events happening all across the city -many of them free. On Saturday, take things a little slower and enjoy Brighton itself: wander through the Lanes and their independent shops, stop for coffee or a long lunch, visit the Royal Pavilion or Brighton Dome and take a stroll along the beach before heading out onto the iconic pier.

Whether you’re here for gemstones, creativity, or simply a change of scene, Brighton in May is full of energy, inspiration, and unexpected discoveries!
