The best group accommodation for Brighton Pride

Published on Jun 6, 2024

Brighton Pride is one of the biggest celebrated Pride events in the UK, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Whether you’re here to watch the vibrant parades, celebrate diversity and equality, or have a blooming good time at Fabuloso in Preston Park, finding the right group accommodation for Brighton Pride is essential. For those planning to visit with a big group of friends, finding a place that can comfortably host everyone and is conveniently located can make all the difference. Here, we showcase 8 outstanding properties that can accommodate groups ranging from 8 to 32 guests, ensuring all that visit have a truly memorable Brighton Pride experience.

 

Why choose group accommodation for Brighton Pride?

Everyone stays together and celebrates – One of the biggest advantages of choosing group accommodation for Brighton Pride is the ability to stay together with your friends or family. Rather than being split up across multiple hotel rooms, everyone can enjoy the celebrations under one roof. This makes it easier to coordinate plans, share meals and celebrate all together. Plus, the camaraderie and shared excitement of the event are only enhanced when you’re all in the same place.

Cost-effective accommodation – Group accommodations are typically a really cost-effective option, especially when compared to booking lots of hotel rooms. Splitting the cost of a large house among lots of guests often results in significant savings. Additionally, having access to a kitchen gives you the option to prepare your own meals, and store drinks and snacks. This is also an important consideration due to the busyness of Brighton Pride. Restaurants, pubs and shops will be incredibly busy with wait times expected to be longer than usual. These savings from booking a house mean you can allocate more of your budget towards enjoying the events and attractions that Brighton Pride has to offer.

Home Comforts – Staying in one of our Brighton Pride group accommodations means enjoying the comforts and conveniences you’d expect from your own home. Spacious living areas, multiple bathrooms, fully-equipped kitchens, and often outdoor spaces provide a relaxing environment to unwind after a day of celebrations. Unlike cramped hotel rooms, these properties offer ample space to relax, socialise, and recharge for all the activities to come.

Excellent locations in Brighton – All the properties we recommend are strategically located to offer easy access to the main Pride events, parades, and nightlife. Being close to the parade and Preston Park means you can spend less time commuting and more time enjoying the festivities. Whether you want to watch the parade, attend the festival, or explore Brighton’s buzzing evening scene, these big houses place you right in the heart of the excitement.

Tips for booking your Brighton Pride group accommodation

 

Book your Brighton Pride group accommodation early – Brighton Pride is one of the biggest and busiest events in the city which means accommodation is in huge demand and short supply when over 300,000 people celebrate in the city. To avoid disappointment we always recommend booking your Brighton Pride group accommodation nice and early at the start of the new year.

Check the property’s accessibility – A lot of Brighton’s big houses for Brighton Pride are townhouses that have been around for hundreds of years, and as such may have a lot of stairs and not be very accessible. Before you book any accommodation be sure to check for any accessibility requirements your group has.

Plan your transport – If you intend on driving down to Brighton during your Pride visit, it’s best to plan where you’re going to park in advance. Most properties won’t have allocated parking spaces with minimal to non-existent on-street parking. There are multi-storey car parks available in central Brighton or you can check Parkopedia for any spots, but it’s likely these will be booked far in advance. Alternatively, Brighton has excellent public transport links with a central train station, Ubers, taxis, and lots of buses that travel all around the city. 

Know your property’s rules & policies – We understand that Pride is a massive celebration and homeowners want you to have the absolute best time. But it’s worth being aware of any rules and restrictions in place at your Brighton Pride group accommodation. For example, there may be noise restrictions where you have to keep the volume lower after a particular time. You may also be required to take the rubbish out at the end of your stay. These rules are in place simply to ensure the homeowner is able to continue to rent out their big house to more groups so they may enjoy their Brighton visit, and also to keep neighbours happy.
