We explore more of what Brighton has to offer, in order to soak up the city’s architecture and history. You will visit unique landmarks with an immense cultural and artistic heritage, such as:

•             The Royal Pavilion, which is home to some of the finest collections and examples of the style chinoiserie in Britain.

•             The Sea Life Centre is the oldest aquarium in the world but has modern attractions like a 1 million litre underwater sea tunnel, the UK’s first glass bottom boat and a jungle tour through Amazonian rainforest waters.

•             The Brighton Pier is your theme park on the sea, the third most visited tourist attraction in the UK.

•             Preston Manor is a charming historic house on the outskirts of Brighton, decorated and furnished in the Edwardian style.

•             The Brighton Dome is part of the historic Pavilion Estate and hosts a packed, year round programme of live music, dance, theatre, comedy and family events.

•             The Old Police Cells Museum offers visitors a unique insight into the history of Sussex Police.

Recognised for their natural beauty, the South Downs have also recently been awarded National Park status.

Dolphin Languages will encourage all applicants to take part in our ‘Green Activities’, which includes a trip in the Brighton countryside – breeze up to Devil’s Dyke, cycle into Kipling’s Rottingdean, home of some of the most stunning gardens in Brighton, or join a woodland trail. These areas allow you to escape to a scenic, tranquil world of down lands, footpaths, bridleways and byways.

We agree with the old Latin saying ‘Mens sana in corpore sano’ (a sound mind in a healthy body) and we offer a range of activities to combine pleasure with sport, such as:

•             Mini Golf

•             Tenpin Bowling- A supervised session at the local bowling alley.

•             A seafront walk or walk in the beautiful countryside surroundings of Seven Sisters.

Alternatively we can organise a programme to meet your or your businesses specific needs. Please contact us for more details.
