[Brighton] How "open" is Brighton on a cold Sunday in December?

[Fiskmås]

Hi. I'm headed to Brighton for my second ever visit to the Amex this weekend. I'm thinking to do some Christmas shopping in far-away exotic England, and I'm just curious how open shops are in the city centre on a Sunday? Business as usual or lanes filled with tumbleweed?

Also, if anyone's interested in grabbing a pint before or after the Burnley game with a relatively well-behaved 44 year old Swede, feel free to drop me a pm.

Cheers

Between 10am-4pm pretty much everywhere will be open in the run up to Christmas.

I went into town yesterday, and it was mostly 11am openings in north laine.

The ice rink in front of the Royal Pavilion is open from 09.30-21.30 every day for food, drink, and skating.

Do some Brighton shops open 11 til 5 instead?

Probably a bit of a busman's holiday for a Swede, though...

There used to be an ice rink on the nudist beach as well until the guy running it had his assets frozen.

Town centre will be doing a very good trade this Sunday. I hope you enjoy the trip

Yes. I’d say most, in the centre.

We are very wary of Swedes on this site.

Well one in particular anyway.

Sunday trading law stipulates only 6 hours of trade so most stores either do 10-4 or 11-5. Can’t think of anywhere that does any other variation of the 6 hours

Oxford Street and similar parts of central London do 12-6

Ooops. Too used to them.

You're on fire!
