A new visitor information hub is set to open on the seafront in Brighton.

The hub is located inside the gift shop at Brighton i360 on Lower Kings Road in the city.

It will be a "one-stop shop for all things Brighton & Hove", according to the city's council.

The visitor centre will be officially opened by the city's mayor at 12:00 BST on Saturday, followed by a family fun day.

The hub, which will open daily, will provide information on where to stay and eat, travel and visitor attractions.

It is a partnership between the Brighton & Hove Tourism Alliance, Culture Calling and Brighton i360, with support from Visit Brighton.

Birgit Miller, cabinet member for culture, heritage and tourism at Brighton & Hove City Council, said: "We want everyone to feel informed, inspired, and warmly welcomed.

"Bringing this visitor information hub to life is the result of strong partnerships, shared vision, and a lot of hard work."

Anne Ackord, chairperson of Brighton & Hove Tourism Alliance, said: "The new visitor hub is a fantastic addition to our tourism offer.

"It's not just a place to pick up a map, it's a vibrant welcome that reflects the energy and creativity of our city."
