A beautiful unexpected place, would 100% recommend everyone to go there, blew my mind. Great for all ages, you can have a cup of tea and a scone or cake and sit looking over the pavilions breathtaking palace. great in winter as you can go ice skating outside also, I think it is possibly more visually stimulating in the evening...

An interesting visit; makes you wonder why the tumbrils weren't employed in England. What the Indian troops recuperating there during WWI made of it, goodness knows.

Nice quirky interiors but they don't allow you to take photographs which I think is shocking given the entry price!

Not cheap to get in but once you get inside you forget that as the place is amazing and then you see the Dining room and your jaw just drops at the most incredible room. It is hard to take it all in but the sheer opulence of the room is so over the top it is fantastic. You can... More

It was probably one of the most lovely places I have ever visited. I thought it was so beautiful in parts was "gobsmacked" by want of another expression! Great tour and I learned loads about the Prince Regent and period of our history that I knew very little about.

Never seen interior decor like it. A must see for any visitor to Brighton whether you are into design / history or not you will be wowed by the two main rooms.

We've been to Brighton so many times but never in the Royal Pavilion. It really is a great place to visit with an excellent audio tour which is included in the price. The dining room alone is worth the admission price! Skipped the tea room.

Pavillion fantastic very grand to see. Cream tea lovely however service at the tea room was less than desired, with the staff being very stressed as they were busy and not making eye contact so they could avoid serving you. We heard many other customers expressing displeasuer at the service which was a real shame as it was the only... More

Great place to take friends and family with historical interest. The dining room is amazing and not at all what you expect from the outside.

I knew little of this place, but my wife wanted to visit it and I can assure you it is certainly worth visiting. The back story to the Pavilion is interesting in itself, however the story of the building the contents and the hosting of events is quite spellbinding. I used the headset device which gave and excellent and comprehensive... More
