It’s a going to be a nice quiet weekend here in Brighton but if you love apples as much as our Student Services Coordinator, Rosie, then you‘re in for a treat.

This Sunday sees the beautiful orchards at Stanmer Park transformed into a celebration of all things appley. There will be a variety of fun and interesting activities for both children and adults. And of course fresh juice and cider made from a traditional apple press.

How to get there:
Bus numbers 78, 23 and 25 all go out on the Lewes Road and stop at Stanmer Park.

Sir Bradley Wiggins will be racing through Brighton on Saturday trying to defend his Tour of Britain title. This is Britain’s biggest cycling event and it is sure to attract big crowds so choose a good spot to watch the action.

The riders will race down Lewes Road before heading up one of the steepest hills in Brighton city centre on Bear Road. At the top they will turn right and head downhill on Wilson Avenue before sprinting for the finish line on Madeira Drive.

How to get there:
Head for the city centre and down to the seafront. Follow the crowds and try to find a good viewpoint.

British countryside at its best!

It should be a dry and sunny bank holiday weekend in Brighton and here at BLC we can’t think of anything better than getting a picnic, jumping on the bus and heading up to the beautiful Devil’s Dyke. Once there, you will be treated to panoramic views of the rolling hills and fields that make this part of England so special.

How to get there:
Take the open-top number 77 bus from next to the Pier.

Last week gave us some incredible storms, but let’s hope for a more sunny and relaxed weekend this time!

Obviously our pebble beach isn’t the best place for any activity other than walking in very comfortable shoes, however you can use those shoes to take a short walk along the seafront and you will arrive at Yellowave beachsports – a man-made sandy beach which has been created solely for volleyball. Courts costs £21 per hour which includes court and ball hire.

How to get there:
Walk along from the Brighton wheel towards the marina and you will find it on your right.

It’s going to be a wet weekend here in Brighton, so our suggestion is a nice Sunday roast dinner followed by the World Cup final. 

Take a walk down to The North Laine pub and brewery, this classic pub offerstraditional English bar food, you can also try one of the delicious English Ales brewed onsite. The North Laine can be found just a short 5 minute walk from the College.
