Brighton Local
The return of the Fairy Tale Fair adds to a busy festive season in the city, with Brighton’s Christmas markets already attracting shoppers looking for something different from the high street. For locals keen to shop small this year, the fair is a chance to buy directly from the makers and creatives who give Brighton its independent character.
St Augustine’s, set in the Preston Park area, is easy to reach from the city centre and a short walk from Preston Park station. Combine a visit with a stroll around the park or a trip to the Seven Dials Christmas late-night shopping event for a full festive day out.
