Banqueting Room
The elaborate and glittering State Banqueting Room, highly theatrical in style, was the perfect backdrop for the celebrated feasts that George would have offered his courtiers and guests. In situ is a grand table, a permanent exhibit, offering a setting truly fit for a grand gathering. We welcome professional film makers and photographers throughout the year. We offer a mix of interior and exterior locations that can suit a range of productions from fashion shoots to historical dramas. The Royal Pavilion has featured in many well-known films and TV shows.
Music Room
The Music Room is one of our most spectacular and impressive State Rooms. Its extraordinary interior is lit by nine lotus-shaped chandeliers with stunning walls decorated with rich red and gold canvasses in the Chinoiserie style. The windows are dressed with blue silk-satin draperies supported by carved flying dragons. The gilded dome is made up of hundreds of plaster cockleshells creating an illusion of height, making it hard not to look up as you enter the space. We welcome professional photographers and film-makers throughout the year and can provide a mix of interior and outdoor locations

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 Royal Pavilion's decorative scheme, it incorporates cast-iron columns ornamented with abundant painted copper palm leaves. The notable Great Kitchen, sometimes referred to as the 'King's Kitchen', was modern for its time/ George who was obsessed with food and dining, conceived this kitchen and would often escort and impress his VIP guests with this room showcasing his new innovative features.

The beautiful Red Drawing Room was a place where George's elegant female guests would withdraw to following dinner in the Banqueting Room. It retains much of its original 1820s striking decorative scheme incorporating the Royal Pavilion's distinctive dragon wallpaper and palm tree pillars. The room is located on the ground floor and not open to the general public. It benefits from its own private entrance leading directly from the garden, affording the feel of exclusivity to this area of the palace on your special day. Hire the Red Drawing Room alone or with another space for your reception.
See venueAbout 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.
