Didn't someone suggest a Park and Ride earlier? I don't drive, and parking is one of the reasons I'm glad I don't!

I haven't gone back through all the pages but there is a Park and Ride which goes from the Withdean Stadium which is on the outskirts of Brighton. It is really good and i would recommend it. Parking costs nothing and appears the price for the bus has gone up but still cheaper than parking in Brighton at ?3.60 but you can use this ticket for unlimited travel so a bargain 🙂

I have attached a link:

My only warning is getting into Brighton could be merry hell if you drive. Depending where you are coming in from, on a sunny day (which i think it is going to be), the traffic stacks all the way into Brighton hence i am leaving my car at my dads and getting the train! The way the crow flies i am only 15 minutes from Brighton but it can take an hour ++ in the car.

Good luck and safe journeys everyone....😎

I have put up a post about train services from St. Pancras/Kings Cross for those coming that way. Parking in Brighton - forget it. I drove down some years ago and queued for 30 mins to get into the town and another 45 mins to get into a very expensive car park. I will not be able to make it but would recommend a pint in the Evening Star (nr the station) when you arrive or afore you go!).

Hi Ypauly,

Parking in Brighton is nigh on impossible or at least that's what I have observed. You might be able to find somewhere along the seafront but on a weekend I doubt it.

Yep he's right there....you won't be able to park along the seafront on a hot day and thats after getting through Brighton as well. Park+Ride is the way forward...good idea whoever suggested that :D

I think I am going to use the park and ride as I hate driving round trying to find somewhere to park, I always get really stressed with parking.
 
If you drive to the Marina, there is free parking. 🙂 A 15 min walk from there to the pier. Or a number 7 bus. Get a bus pass for ?3.60.

Anyone else coming by train can get a Plus Bus add on for ?2 and use the buses all day.

Personally, I prefer walking....:D
 
Is there likely to be much parking down by the marina Tez? And is that down near that ASDA in that direction?
 
I think we'll park and ride too - im bringing Bradders with me to keep me company in the 5 hours of driving!!
 
oh good!! :D

What time are you two getting there?
