About us

In the wake of World War II, Britain was swept by a desire to modernise – and Brunswick Square, Brunswick Terrace and Adelaide Crescent were destined to be replaced by high-rise blocks until a group of passionate conservationists, led by Antony Dale, stepped in.

They became the Regency Society of Brighton and Hove and helped to win the argument that we should treasure and preserve the best of our past. One of our roles is to campaign for equally high standards when new development is mooted.

We want everyone to enjoy, understand and appreciate our city as it grows and changes, so we run a world class lecture programme, organise tours and visits to places of architectural and cultural interest and provide information about maintaining and living with historic buildings. Our social events are popular, too.
