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

I was a bit skeptical about visiting this place but I really did enjoy myself and learning about it's history. You're given a little audio device where you key in a number that corresponds with a room and you're told about all aspects of that room. Personally, I find that the architecture is a bit ugly but it's still interesting... More

Brilliant building from the outside, even more impressive on the inside! Audio tour is excellent, and it's pretty good value for money. The Dining Room has to be seen to be believed - pictures do not so it justice!

As we were staying in Brighton for a couple of days we decided to go round the Pavillion as it is somewhere I have always wanted to see, we were not dissappointed, what a fabulous place it is. The history of the building is amazing and if you use a hand held audio guide you get to know so much... More

If you live in Brighton, you can get half price entry. I would highly recommend the royal pavilion. After you've paid the entrance fee, you are given what looks like a phone in order for you to listen to commentary as you walk around this magnificent building. Very interesting and informative. Stop off about half way round at the tea... More
