If you don’t know Brighton as well as you’d like, you can take a walking tour of the city to find out more about its history. You don’t need to book and you can just pay what you want. There are a variety of walks depending on your interest – this weekend there’s a Brighton After Dark tour where you will learn about crime and punishment in Victorian Brighton, as well as murder, ghosts and more (Friday 8pm, not suitable for children). There are other walks on Saturday and Sunday too. Meet at the clock tower. For details see http://www.meetup.com/guided-walks-in-BrightonandSussex/.
