The Royal Pavilion in the centre of Brighton is an exotic palace with a colourful history. Built as a seaside pleasure palace for King George IV, this historic house mixes Regency grandeur with the lavish visual styles of India and China.

This incredible palace feels like a real-life fairytale, with it incredible unique design and interiors. It even made the top 10 list of the most beautiful buildings in the UK!

Explore the enchanting Garden - a wildlife haven and a much-loved meeting place in the heart of Brighton. The gently winding paths and irregular groupings of trees, shrubs and flowers blur the boundaries of the estate, creating an illusion of space and a series of changing views and sightlines.

The Banqueting Room sums up the splendour of the Royal Pavilion, and George’s appetite for a life of luxury. Beneath an immense cut-glass chandelier, a table is set for a lavish feast.

Music and dancing were a key part of life at the Royal Pavilion. Explore the magic Music Room which features rich, hand-painted red and gold canvases, silvered dragons, chandeliers inspired by lotus plants and an intricate gilded ceiling.

The Royal Pavilion’s use as a military hospital in WW1 is an unexpected but fascinating story. A gallery on the first floor of the Royal Pavilion illustrates this fascinating and challenging period in the building’s history. It includes photographs, paintings, film footage and contemporary accounts, including  quotes from letters written by some of the injured soldiers. 

All of this, plus the stunning kitchen, royal bedrooms where three royals rested, a restored saloon, and so much more! Travel back in time at this fascinating location like no other.
