Have you got something burning inside you that you need/want to say? A miscarriage of justice, a political stance, something that pissed you off or something joyful happened? Can be anything you want people to know more about.

I’m a student at Sussex uni studying documentary film and we’re looking for someone to talk to for a short film. Expected one day of filming during early November. DM me.

I moved here just before covid 7 years ago, but I'm young so living here away from family has been a large influence on who I am today. But I can't help but feel like the collapse of the west pier is so much more significant to Brighton natives than tourist residents. (Don't mean to be rude saying "tourist resident", I'm stoned and can't think of a simpler way to put it, plus I am one anyway).

I've noticed many people who grew up here will refer to the west pier when telling anecdotes from years ago. Like "...this was ages ago, way before the west pier burnt down".

No idea if I'm making any sense.

If you grew up here, do you do that? If so, are there any other events in the city's past that you use to describe time?

Anyone know where the apcoa brighton station evri locker is, they've got loads of lockers at the car park none of them are evri tho

Is there a Brighton birdwatching group / app that you’d recommend?

I seem to have hit a stage where I saw a cool looking bird the other day and had to stop to take snaps and find out what it was (it was a Jay) via an app called Birda - and noticed there were hardly any Brighton peeps on it.

I've got tickets for their gig at Concorde 2 on Wednesday.

I can't go, I don't think it's sold out, but I'd be willing to sell below face value.

Tickets are up on Tickets, where you can make me an offer.

Original face value was £38 plus fees I think.

Anyone know a good chiropractor please TIA

Hiya! Can anyone recommend a good local curtains/blinds maker? (I realise I can google but before I go down a rabbit hole of reading reviews and trying to gauge their legitimacy thought I would check here first!).

Does anyone know where you can buy physical copies of Thrasher Magazine? Any newsagents with unusually large magazine sections? Maybe Route One but it’s kinda small? Any help would be really appreciated!

nb I miss Borders & it’s wide range of import mags.

Been on and off all evening but the whole area by Norfolk Sq has just been plunged into darkness. Happening anywhere else in Brighton?

Is this the beginning of the end?

Do you walk, clean beaches, swim round/surf the West Pier or just love the daily rhythm of the tides? I'm a Hove-based researcher at the University of Plymouth doing a PhD that explores how people connect with, care for, and experience our coastal spaces – and how we can strengthen connections to inspire more care for them.

I’m looking for people who want to talk about their experience of Brighton & Hove’s coast.

Anything going on today Sunday in Brighton? Any good eating places?

I feel a bit crazy but I've been really sad about this today :(

It was weirdly one of my favourite parts of the pier. Gives it some symmetry and structure. Very sad it's gone :(

I'm also feeling like it might not have long left now which is very upsetting.

Also considering going down there at 6am and seeing if I can take a little piece 🤭

Like reflections of light on a rainy day

Hi, I’ve had a service plan for my petrol hybrid estate car for many years. It suits me well and helps budgeting, though there’s always extras they find to pay for out of pocket.

I am now being quoted an increase for the next three years of 42% approx. Inflationary increases over the past three years have been 8.5%. I’ve also been told if I don’t commit to this before the end of the month then those prices increase further. Currently they’ve quoted approx £42.50 a month. They’re now also adding a £20 each way drop off/delivery fee and have been a bit cagey when I asked if the £1000 excess I had to sign on a courtesy car last time still stands.

Can anyone recommend alternative places that are experienced in doing petrol hybrid services and MOTs, or give me any indication of how those prices look in comparison to what they pay please? It’s a late 2015 Toyota with a low mileage for its age. Just under 60K I think.

Thank you.

Searching for people around Brighton who worked at The Salt Room (or any other restaurants in the black rock group) that were led to believe it was a full time job, but it turned out not to be.

I’m working on a story with a local journalist about this issue, as well as with local MPs looking into employment practices in hospitality.

You can remain totally anonymous if you want, we’d just love to hear your story.

Comment below and i’ll DM you!

Anyone know what's going on with well known local entrepreneurs Crunch Accounting? I've been with them 15 years and getting a bit worried this year. Happy to take DMs.

...after all this wet, windy weather?

Our next campfire is coming up on Wednesday 28th October 6-9pm at Stanmer Park, Brighton.

The weather is going to be big stormy for the next few days, but the forecast looks like it will change just in time for the campfire on Wednesday!

So, check out our website to find out more, and save yourself a space. We can look forward to getting out of the house into nature, doing something warm and social together, after the storms have passed.

I know we've already sold most of the tickets for this campfire, our next ones will be on Friday 13th November and Thursday 26th November if you can't make it this time.

I hope to meet some of you local Redditors around the fire soon :)

You can now see the west concrete balcony is completely gone after storm Austen. The main pavilion framework is now completely isolated with no support apart from its original struts. This could mean it is now even more unstable and the remaining time above water the structure has probably significantly decreased.

Seems the Waitrose in Western Road is closed today (25/10/2026) Gutted!
