Brighton's been the place for a dirty weekend ever since the Prince Regent built the Royal Pavilion and had a relationship with Mrs Fitzherbert.

Now a gallery at the refurbished museum in Church Street will be partly devoted to tales of illicit liaisons by the many couples who sign hotel or boarding house registers as Mr and Mrs Smith or Jones.

Tradition has the dirty weekend firmly associated with B and B establishments. But in most of them, the bed is far more important than the breakfast.
