What is your smoking policy?

As our site is predominantly made from wood, smoking on Brighton Palace Pier is only permitted in the Horatio's beer garden and the Sunset Garden at Palm Court in the signposted areas where metal plates cover the decking. Smoking (excluding e-cigarettes or vapes) is not permitted anywhere else on the pier. E-cigarettes or vapes are not permitted for use in indoor areas.

We ask all smokers visiting us to use the bins provided and do their bit to protect our sea and coastline. Please do not throw cigarettes into the sea.
