Exkursion nach Brighton & London 2026

On the Excursion to Brighton in the Summer Semester of 2026, organised by Selvi Demir and Keith Bliss, a group of 47 students set off to experience the English culture. With a well-thought- out itinerary and a lot of suggestions on what to see and do, we left Siegen. 

A week in Brighton and London led to more than one funny story to tell, more than one fun fact about the aristocracy in Britain and more than one conversation held with locals. The Itinerary took us to the Royal Pavilion, Petworth House and Arundel Castle, providing us with various curious, interesting and sometimes funny insights into the history of British society and art. In addition to visiting Nyman Gardens, we hiked to experience nature more closely. 

Apart from these planned events, each person who attended has their own unique story to share about the various other activities and side quests they pursued in between. We got to chat to local people, see different sights and visit different culinary and cultural facilities in Brighton and London. Some examples for me would be the oldest pub in Brighton, the Lucky Voice Karaoke Bar, and the Zipline. And also, the Vaudeville Theatre, Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London. 

All of us got to experience English culture at its core. So, thank you, Selvi and Keith, for this amazing trip.
