Well the fringe festival seems to be a great way to explore the city. In the last week or so I have been to loads of different events across Brighton and Hove and got to explore more of the city. You can review other Argus Fringe bloggers including mine here here.

My highlights so far have been the Irish Music at the latest music bar, the air raid shelter tour at Whitehawk Primary school and Midsummer Nights Dream in St Ann's Well Gardens. I honestly didn't know about St Ann’s Well Gardens where I would definitely like to have another picnic even without the play! I also can't wait to return to Northern Lights where I saw The Tell-Tales of Mr Poe.

It is great to see such a variety of shows on offer - although you're almost spoilt for choice - I left last Saturday evening free to catch what ever I wanted but after looking at the what's on guide was so over-whelmed that I just went to the pub!

I have been mentioning recently having visitors down and I have realised that they make you explore parts of Brighton that you would have otherwise missed out on. For example the only times I have been on the pier was visiting Brighton and at requests of other visitors. It was only this weekend that I actually went on any of the fairground rides at the end. Previously I thought it was just a 'waste of money' But I take back that thought after having so much fun on the haunted house, the waltzers and a weird octopus ride. So I challenge everyone to do the tourist thing next time you're bored - it's often the most obvious things that you miss.

This weekend there's more Fringe fun to be had - But if that wasn't enough - there's the Great Escape happening for which Kasibian is playing for part of! I am looking forward to An Acoustic evening with Plucked Strings in the coach house in Kemptown - another venue for me to explore. I would also like to try and catch some of the free events - let's hope this time I am not too overwhelmed by choice that I miss them all - I'd be happy to be pointed in the direction of some must see freebies!
