A fresh new face hits the streets today with the launch of Brighton's answer to London's Time Out - This Is Brighton.

In 56 glossy pages, the free guide will provide comprehensive coverage of everything going on in the city every fortnight.

It combines elements of Heat, Time Out and The Guide and will be available at 350 venues, cafes, bars and shops.

It will have TV, dating and family sections as well as articles about new sports, healthy activities and outdoor adventures.

Mark Little is on the cover for the first issue, which includes a pull-out guide to the Paramount Comedy Festival.

There will also be a celebrity page featuring news and gossip about local stars.

Editor Jakki Phillips said: "It's not just about gigs, comedy, theatre and arts.

"There are things you can do with the whole family, food and drink and things to do at weekends, like learning to wind surf.

"It's just what the city has been waiting for."
