What Can I Expects

This package gives you tickets to visit Borde Hill Gardens and a journey on Brighton's famous tower. 

The Brighton i360 is the world's first observation pod and tower. It's located at the West Pier on Brighton seafront. At the top, you can see up to 26 miles over the Sussex coastline and countryside.

Designed and conceived by London Eye creators, Marks Barfield Architects, the tower will take you 450ft up into the Brighton sky. The futuristic glass viewing pod glides slowly and elegantly to the top of this steel tower and back down again in around 30 minutes.

The fully enclosed pod is super high tech and can accommodate up to 200 passengers on each vertical voyage. There's room for everyone to move around freely, whilst casting an eye on the Brighton views from those distinctive curved windows.

Your journey up the tower above the Brighton skyline is gentle and utterly captivating and comfortable too, as there is bench seating, air conditioning and heating onboard.

Back on the ground, find out how the Brighton i360 was built in the free exhibition and explore the many products created by local artists in the beachside gift shop. You can also tuck into a delicious selection of light bites, seaside classics, coffees and cocktails at the onsite restaurant, West Beach.

Your day out also includes tickets for Borde Hill Gardens, boasting the famous 'living garden rooms' with hundreds of species of plants. Located at Hayward's Heath, which is around a 45 minute drive away from Brighton seaside, this tranquil place also offers lovely vistas of the Sussex High Weald. It's the perfect match for your trip on Brighton's unique viewing tower.

And remember, this is the only observation pod in the whole wide world. So not only do you get to enjoy the fabulous views, you will be experiencing British engineering and design at its innovative best, when you take your journey on the Brighton i360.
