The iconic and world-famous Royal Pavilion & Garden (also known as Brighton Pavilion) is a Grade I listed former royal residence located in Brighton.

Started in 1787, it was built in three stages as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who became the Prince Regent in 1811, and King George IV in 1820. It was built in the Indo-Saracenic style that was prevalent in India for most of the 19th century. The current appearance, with its domes and minarets, is the work of the architect John Nash, who extended the building, starting in 1815. George IV’s successors William IV and Victoria also used the Pavilion, but Queen Victoria decided that Osborne House should be her royal seaside retreat, and the Royal Pavilion was sold to the town of Brighton in 1850.

It is such a beautiful building that people can visit and tour, and in 2025 a wider array of spectacular rooms will also be available to hire. Many of the spaces, from the grand banqueting suites to the smaller private rooms, are now available for hire for conferences, meetings, product launches, weddings and the like.

There can be no more beautiful and original venue to hire, surrounded by opulence rarely seen in today’s world and all supported by a professional events team and superb catering with a wide range of options.

The venue is run by Brighton & Hove Museums, a registered charity, who also take care of Preston Manor & Gardens, Booth Museum of Natural History, Hove Museum of Creativity and Brighton Museum & Art Gallery.
