Dance Information

Suggested music: The Craigievar band: the lead tune, Mrs Carol Catterall, was composed by Alastair Forbes.

The Brighton Palace Pier, commonly known as Brighton Pier or the Palace Pier is a Grade II listed pleasure pier (1,722 feet (525 m) long) in Brighton, England, located in the city centre opposite the Old Steine.

Opening in 1899, it was the third pier to be constructed in Brighton after the Royal Suspension Chain Pier and the West Pier, but is now the only one still in operation.

The pier remains popular with the public, with over four million visitors in 2016, and has been featured in many works of British culture, including the gangster thriller Brighton Rock, the comedy Carry On at Your Convenience and the Who's concept album and film Quadrophenia.
