Cast Members Celebrate in Brighton’s North Laine
To mark the final week of the tour, cast members Abbie Budden (Annette Hargrove), Lucy Carter (Cecile Caldwell), Nic Myers (Kathryn Merteuil), and Will Callan (Sebastian Valmont) took to Brighton’s iconic North Laine. The cast explored vintage boutiques and sampled the area’s vibrant food scene, immersing themselves in the city’s creative spirit.
Among the highlights of their outing was a visit to Photomatic, where the cast snapped playful shots in retro-style photobooths. They also indulged in sweet treats at Caramella, Brighton’s beloved family-run sweet shop, established in 1988, trading salacious schemes for sugary delights.
