The city is braced for a huge influx of hen parties as the busiest weekend for stag and hen dos across the country is upon us.
Cities across the UK, including Brighton, are preparing for partiers who will be taking advantage of the early May Bank Holiday.
According to stagweb.co.uk and gohen.com, two of the UK’s leading stag and hen party providers, this weekend is expected to be the busiest this year by far.
It will be almost twice as busy as the weekend of King Charles III’s Coronation.
Brighton is set to be the fifth most popular stag and hen destination in the country this weekend.
Nearly 10 per cent of all Stag Web and Go Hen’s UK bookings are for Brighton this weekend.
“Brighton has always been popular with hens in particular because it is the perfect mix of a vibrant UK seaside destination and bouncing party city,” said Jon Stainer, creative director of both Stag Web and Go Hen.
“With a load of incredible activities on offer – both on land and at sea – there’s plenty to take on and conquer when they’re not enjoying those big nights out.
“Interestingly, all of our groups heading to Brighton this weekend are hen parties with stags preferring to go to places like Bristol, Liverpool and Edinburgh.”
“The early May Bank Holiday is always one of the busiest weekends of the year as everyone gets an extra day of partying, plus it allows for a comfortable gap between the festivities and the weddings in the summer.”

Elsewhere in the country, Bristol is set to see the biggest boom in stag and hen dos, with Liverpool a close second and Edinburgh in third.
Jon said: “Bristol and Liverpool have always been hugely popular destinations for both stag and hens, but the most surprising name on the list is Bath in fourth.
“Whilst Bath isn’t particularly popular with stags, it’s been the most popular hen party destination in the UK for years due to its stylish vibe, vibrant bar scene, and the world-famous Thermae Spa.”
