Brighton’s first pier was the Old Chain Pier (1823), used as a landing stage for cross-Channel passenger ships. Realizing its commercial value, the owners began charging an entry fee and set up kiosks selling souvenirs as well as entertainment stalls. The Chain Pier was stuck by many storms and eventually replaced by the Brighton Marine Palace & Pier, which is what we see today, bustling in every corner with energy and pleasure. 

Brighton Palace Pier, also known simply as Brighton Pier is devoted to fun, here you can find rides and attractions for the whole family from traditional fairground favorites to all the latest gaming mayhem. The fairgrounds rides at the end of the pier range from the helter-skelter, carousel and dodgems to the downright terrifying ones as the Booster, which lifts you 10-13 meters in the air, leaving you dangling over the sea.

Brighton Palace Pier retains a Victorian ambience while catering for modern visitors with game arcades, bars, fish and chip restaurants.
