Brighton, gay capital of the UK. I spend a lot of time there, I love it. It’s so relaxed and fresh and colourful. Nothing in the world matters when you’re in Brighton. Anything goes. And I’m told you could go to a different bar everyday of the year.
However, this was not a shopping trip or a night out. This was Brighton Breeze.
If you’ve never heard of it, Brighton Breeze is a gathering of VW Campervan enthusiasts. Also there are VW Beetles and various other tents on wheels.
We arrived in Brighton around 10am and grabbed breakfast (tea and an almond croissant) from Pret and headed on down to the sea front.
The gathering takes place on Madeira Drive, underneath the promenade right along the sea front which makes for a lovely setting.
There were so many different colours and styles, it’s incredible to see how many different things can be created with the same vehicle. There were some old rusty surfer wrecks, and some lovingly restored, some very traditional and some pimped out to the max. A fair few of them had their name written on the front too, which all happened to be in the same font….must be a camper thing…
If I had the money and the imagination, I’d have a maroon one (named ……….) with a kitchen/rehearsal/sleeping space for the boy and I. Although where I’d put his guitars and my clothes I don’t know…..
Your photo's look so good!
