Space description
The Royal Pavilion's recipe for a great event? Drinks in the Great Kitchen, followed by a seated dinner in the state Banqueting Room. The Royal Pavilion's notable Great Kitchen was modern for its time, George who was obsessed with food and dining conceived this kitchen and would often escort his VIP guests to impress them with his innovative facilities. This spacious room, taking its light from skylights in the roof, was not without its own 'taste of the Orient'. In line with the rest of the decorative scheme, it incorporates cast-iron columns ornamented with abundant painted palm leaves.
More about Royal Pavilion
The Royal Pavilion, steeped in history and heritage, has been hosting the city's finest events since the 1780's. It stands majestically, the jewel in Brighton's crown, restored to its original 1823 splendour with Indian architecture contrasted with lavish interiors inspired by the Orient.
It was originally built as a seaside pleasure palace for the Prince Regent, later to become King George IV, when Brighton was at the height of fashionable Regency society. George, renowned for his extravagant and decadent lifestyle almost bankrupted the country in pursuit of this magnificent palace.
