Brighton is well worth a visit, yes it’s changed but still many areas are as they were decades ago, however Southend on Sea is not worth the effort, the only remaining item is it’s Pier, but my opinion is it’s not the place to visit and I remember it from the 60’s. Unsafe to be out in the evenings when the nightclubs are open, give it a miss and spend an extra day in Brighton

Hello, Usually they advertise for audience members to take part on their social media channels, but there is a high demand as they receive numerous applications and enquiries annually. However, you can visit the film set as it is used for our Pier Tearoom between filming dates. We are open from 10.30am to 5pm daily for the school half term holidays next week and weekends only after that until the end of March. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
