Cool places with aircon in Brighton and Hove

The fan and the freezer aisle are our best friends right now. But nothing beats proper aircon when the mercury’s pushing 30C.

But rather than spending our time with our heads in the fridge, we’ve put together a master list of all the good places that have the cold stuff – with big thanks to our readers for sharing their top spots.

This is still a curated list; yes, we need to keep cool, but we’re still not going to go and cool off in a Costa. (Although you may find us hanging out in Sainsbury’s or in your local freezer aisle.)

We’ll be updating this list regularly so if you have a favourite cool (in every sense) spot, please do let us know and we’ll add it in (you can email us at hello@brightontheinside.co.uk). It’s a collective effort to stop us turning into a puddle of sweat.
