FAVOURITE PLACES IN BRIGHTON & HOVE
The Brighton Museum- Furniture
My favourite exhibition in the Brighton museum is the open hall near the
entrance where the furniture is displayed. The exhibition includes: a sofa
designed to look like Mae West's lips, the baseball glove seat, the garden egg
chair and the wiggle chair and lots more. As well as this there is also the
fashion room where local people have donated their own clothes. The outfits date
from the Victorian age to the present year. There is also another room where you
can find out all the history about Brighton sea- front.
Whatever your age you're sure to have a great time!!

Hove museum
Hove museum is a very interesting place to visit and highly enjoyable for
children .I myself have been there and I loved it. So I am sure you will love it
too. My favourite part is the wizard's attic that has lots of old and new toys
like the toy train that runs underneath the floorboards. You will probably find
many surprises. My favourite thing was the snoring wizard. There are other
fabulous things like early cinema films from Brighton and Hove and other
exhibitions that change.

Preston Manor
Preston Manor is a great place to go on a school trip
or just for a visit. You are led around the old manor
house room by room starting with the dining- room.
In the dining-room is where Mr and Mrs Thomas-Stanford
and any guests ate. Other families, who lived in houses like
this, often had up to twelve courses at dinner but Mrs
Thomas-Stanford only allowed up to eight courses.
Next, there is the drawing-room. That is where all the
ladies go to relax after a meal.
After that there's the kitchen with 'waste not, want not' written
on the fireplace.
Then the haunted room of Mrs Thomas-Stanford. They say her
ghost haunts the room!
There are many more rooms to explore! And Preston Park is
right next to the manor, so after your visit to the manor visit
the park too!

The Palace Pier
The pier is fun because it has lots of things to ride
on like the Helter-Skelter, the Waltzers and Crazy mouse or maybe you'd prefer
the ghost train or the trampolines.
If you go inside you can go on the arcade games like games where you can
put in 2ps and 5ps and 10ps and you can win watches and key rings and you can
buy CANDY FLOSS and CHIPS plus HOT DOGS and DONUTS! and lots and lots of ICE
CREAM!!!

The Booth museum
This is an animation
about the Booth museum which has dead animals in it. We like it because it has
dead animals and skeletons. It's also nice and big so you have lots of space. I
liked the big skeletons .
We think they are very well preserved and only a little bit smelly. They've made
quite a few models of dinosaurs out of wood and we like them.
And there is a children's playground on the other side of the road.
