Brighton hosts the world’s biggest celebration of wild whales and dolphins – WhaleFest! It’s for people who love whales and dolphins, those who know nothing about them, me, you, your gym instructor, everyone. It takes place at Brighton Hilton, the very place where the world’s governments gathered in 1982 to suspend international whaling. In 1991 Brighton Aquarium’s captive dolphins were freed back to their Caribbean home. The people of Brighton, ‘London-by-the-sea’, love these animals. We all do. WhaleFest is 14-16 March 2014.
