The Book of Brighton & Hove

Andy Field and Beckie Darlington
Tue 24 May 2022

A guide book unlike any other, an invitation to see the city through the eyes of some of its youngest inhabitants.

The Book of Brighton & Hove is a guide book unlike any other, an invitation to see the city through the eyes of some of its youngest inhabitants – their favourite streets, the places they love and those they don’t, the myths and rumours about the City they’ve been told or even made up themselves, and their hopes and fears for its future at this time of such great uncertainty. 

This guide book will be written collaboratively by over 200 children from across the city, from Benfield, Woodingdean, St Luke’s and Queen’s Park primary schools guided by questions, challenges, games and other creative activities set by the artists.

Produced by LOOKOUT Brighton. Co-commissioned by Brighton Festival and caravan with Heart of Glass and LOOKOUT Brighton.
