A trail of Brighton and Hove's best graffiti is to feature alongside hundreds of historic attractions for visitors.

Sites across the city will be opening their doors to the public as part of Heritage Open Days.

One of the highlights of the weekend's celebration, organised by English Heritage, will be a two hour tour of the murals that have given the city its reputation as a world centre for graffiti.

Visitors are invited to join members of Heavy Artillery, one of the most active graffiti groups in the area, for an exploration of various sites and works, including material by the city's rising young stars and the controversial Banksy.

There will also be a rare chance to see inside the Pepperpot Tower in Queens Park Road, Brighton, and Shoreham Power Station, as well as taking an informative lesson in the history of the seafront beach huts and delving into the city's sewers.
