Royal Pavilion Brighton Admission Ticket

I had planned this holiday trip with my 5-year-old granddaughter for some time. I booked online, which was easy, and noticed that I could take advantage of a 2 for 1 offer as we were travelling by train - a bargain! Having taken my children to the Pavilion many years ago I knew there would be dragons, but I wasn't prepared for the summer dragon activities. We hunted for eggs and letters, followed the trail of the naughty hatchlings and took part in activities. There were lovely touches, such as small binoculars in the banquet room for children to get a better look at all the detail on the ceiling. Our visit would have been wonderful anyway, but was more magical with the extra effort that had been taken by the visitor team. We'll definitely return for whatever next year's activities might be.

Fabulous building! Was dumbstruck by the scale of the rooms and elaborate decor that really showcased the Prince Regents love of excess. Really recommend a visit, was beautiful.

We booked a 9:00 AM ticket, arrived in the park around 9:15 AM, enjoyed a quick coffee, and then headed inside. The welcome at the reception was very friendly. We did a self-guided tour, and from the moment we stepped into the Banqueting Room, our jaws dropped! There were so many dragons everywhere—so amazing and unique, we have never seen anything like it. The story behind it all is fascinating! Then, we suddenly spotted a toy cat. At first, we thought they just put it there for fun, but after spotting the fifth cat, we just had to know the story! It turned out to be George, the resident cat who actually lived there back in the early 1800s. Such a brilliant and charming detail! They also have a super fun dragon treasure hunt for children. It really shows you how incredibly wealthy people lived back then. From the secret underground tunnels to the unique attic room. The exterior looks like an Indian palace, while the interior is completely Chinese-inspired, featuring stunning hand-painted wallpaper and hundreds of dragons (🐉). Incredibly beautiful and an absolute must-visit!

Tripadvisor failed to pay the Pavilion for our admission so we were delayed in getting in. Tripadvisor were slow in sending the tickets prior to our departure from home . Once inside the Pavilion we were not disappointed.

takes a couple oh hours worth the money

We loved it. Fabulous decor. Interesting history

The Pavilion is great. Parking is terrible, distant and expensive. The dragon theme is useful to keep children occupied.

Friendly and informative staff with a brilliant array of exhibits on, some collaboration with UK museums too which is fave. It was also great to see the abba plaque being a bit of a fan! Cheap ticket prices and is an annual fee so Kerching!

My children had so much fun with the dragon trail! Really creative!

Ive had membership plus guest since November 2025 I thoroghly enjoy visiting the Royal Pavilion and Museum the staff are informative professional and courteous. Unfortunately on May 17th cerca 4pm I showed my digital pass to what would turn out to be the pedant Cathy Wilson. My ticket wasnt scanned with the barcode on my membership. I was informed my guest should also have a pass. Cathy was quite maticulous and fastidious about him not having one it took 15 minutes discussing as to why he didnt have one. As far as I could assertain it was the paper version which has the option to put the guests name. Being in the 21st Century I opted for the online application as much as I would rather be in the last decade. Its seems she is a possible luddite not using the barcode scan and seemingly behind the times with online applications. For those who have been through JFK entry this is a breaze and preferable to entry to Brighton Pavilion on this day. A few days later I spoke to the delightfull Katlin in the membership dept she ofered a complementary tour of under the Pavilion this turned out to be facinating the guide was super and engaging. Before the start of the tour we were first guided into the beautiful red room for a pre talk showing photos of the Pavilion years gone by. In the room was also Cathy Bates the Pedant receptionist she said - you both dont have to sit on the naughty boys row at the back. Had I not had the experience the previous week I would have taken it as intentded just an attempt at humour. Cathy Bates turned from Officious to a Jokester who would have thought it. Thankfully the tour didnt turn out to be a Misery. I will however in future try and avoid Cathy Bates if not I will go and have a glass of Don Perignon and a Marlboro Light. Ps apology for typo its Wilson not Bates.
