6.9/10

Local score

No. 11 of 41 outdoor spots on r/brighton, from 20 locals across 23 threads.

95% would send a mate. Still recommended in 2026.

The beach volleyball venue on Madeira Drive near Concorde 2, popular for beginner lessons, casual games and a genuinely social, all-ages crowd, plus a sandpit and smoothies that make it good for families on a warm day. A few reviewers flag it as fairly pricey with slow service, and courts can book up fast.

Go for: Beach volleyball lessons or a lazy sandpit afternoon
Heads up: Can be pricey with notoriously slow service

What locals say

…Knoyle Hall, near Preston Park in terms of activities, the rest has already been mentioned - Donchevi in Worthing is a great place for food, also there are several great Turkish places in Brighton I've been to. A few of the Bulgarians I know used to play beach volleyball at Yellowave in the past, there's lots of foreigners there in general, great social activity. I don't really hang out with Bulgarians here much, but I'll be happy to establish some contact, if possible :)

…works out cheaper for going on rides. Plus there are lots of seagulls to get up close to :0) Playgrounds - both Queens Park and The Level have a few sections suitable for older kids; at this time of year The Level also has water fountains to play in from about 10am onwards Yellowave - you can take the electric Volks railway or walk to Yellowave, buy a smoothie or two and sit and use the sandpit on a warm day. :0) Hope you have fun!…

Cool things to do, righto! Depends what time of year you are coming along. If the weather is good, you could hire a beach volleyball court at Yellowave? I think that’s suitably unusual enough that some of your party won’t have done it before? If not, there are some great Escape Rooms in Brighton, which I think are great fun for a daytime activity (if you like a puzzle). We also have a VR place in Churchill Square which I went to for a birthday one year.…

I would agree with the person above who suggested Loading Bar - but ring ahead and book a console - or you could try Yellowave if it is sunny - but it’s fairly pricey and the service is notoriously slow. There is definitely a gap in the market!
