Brighton Doughnut, Brighton

The Brighton Doughnut, officially named The Big Green Bagel, is a distinctive circular sculpture located on a pier near the prominent Brighton Pier along the Brighton seafront. This striking piece of art was a gift from the Mayor of Naples, Italy, to the city of Brighton. While its official name is The Big Green Bagel, it has earned the affectionate, albeit humorous, nickname of the "Seasick Doughnut" among locals.

This sculpture has become a notable landmark in Brighton, drawing attention for both its unusual design and the strong opinions it provokes. Residents of Brighton are divided in their views of the sculpture, with some admiring its unique presence and others criticizing it. Despite the mixed reactions, the Seasick Doughnut remains an unmistakable part of Brighton's coastal landscape, often photographed by visitors, especially on days when the blue sky and fluffy clouds create a picturesque backdrop. Whether loved or loathed, the Seasick Doughnut is an integral and unmissable part of Brighton's seafront.
