What visitors say
Such an interesting and fascinating place to visit and the interior is not what you would expect. Audio tour v informative but should be included in price not extra as v few boards inside to read about the pavilion so you definitely need buy the tour as an extra. 5 stars if that had been included. Its well worth a visit . We were there 2 hours. Good dragon trail for kids at the moment

What an absolutely amazing place. Well worth the entrance fee especially as it's a charity run location now. So much information once inside. The main chandelier in the great hall weighs over one tonne. Keep Del boy and Rodders clear of that. Really chuffed to have see the pavilion and the staff on hand have great stories to tell if you ask them.

Staff are so knowledgeable and lovely. Literally whoever I talked to was genuinely very attentive and kind so a huge thanks to them all. As for the pavillion, one of the most impressive cultural heritage sites I have ever seen. The Palace is lavishly decorated and quite a maximalist and eclectic mix of East and West. I absolutely loved the whole building inside and out and must visit if you are in Brighton. And the museum shop is so well curated and in line with the pavilion. Congratulations to the team.

I recently visited the Royal Pavilion, and it was honestly one of the most unique places I’ve seen in the UK. 🏛️ From the outside, the building looks absolutely stunning with its unusual architecture—it almost feels like you’ve been transported somewhere in Asia. Inside, it’s even more impressive. The rooms are beautifully decorated with so much detail, especially the grand chandeliers and artwork. Every space has its own character, and you can really feel the history. The atmosphere is calm and well organised, and it’s easy to walk around and take everything in at your own pace. The gardens outside are also lovely, perfect for a relaxing walk or just sitting down for a bit. Overall, it’s a must-visit spot if you’re in Brighton. A great mix of history, beauty, and something a bit different. Highly recommended! 🌿✨
