Venues

Whether you're coming for the day or making a weekend of it, Brighton is very easy to get to.

Train

Direct trains run from London Victoria, St Pancras, and London Bridge (approx. 1 hour) as well as from Gatwick Airport. Both venues are a 15-minute walk or short taxi ride from Brighton Station. There are regular trains until around midnight if you're considering a day return from London.

From Brighton Station, St Peter's church is only a 7 minute walk downhill so no bus needed! To get to St Augustine's, walk to London Road and take either the 5B or 32 for a 5 minute journey.

Follow the M23/A23 from London. No parking is available directly at either the church or reception, but we can provide a permit for <a href="https://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/parking-zones?field_zone_id_value=J#map" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zone J</a>, which is located in the residential area between our two venues. Please request a permit on your RSVP if needed.

London Gatwick (LGW) is the closest airport with direct trains to Brighton. From Heathrow (LHR), National Express coaches run hourly to Brighton.

Taxi

Ranks are located outside both venues. Local services include Uber, FREENOW, or Streamline (01273 202020).

Transport

There are a huge number of hotels in Brighton to suit all budgets, but it can get busy in the summer months so we would advise booking early! Brighton is super easy to get to from London, with trains running till around midnight - so also very easy to head back after the event if you'd prefer.

If you're looking for an Airbnb, the North Laine, Hanover and Elm Grove areas are beautiful and close to St Peter's church. If you'd prefer to be closer to the evening reception, look for stays near Preston Park, Fiveways or Lewes Road area.
