Royal Pavilion, Music Room

One of the most exotically beautiful buildings in the British Isles, the Royal Pavilion is the magnificent former seaside residence of King George IV. Decorated in the elaborate Chinese taste, with a dramatic Indian exterior, this Regency party palace was built by a King who wanted to impress.

The lavish interiors and grand scale are testament to this. The State Rooms available for hire include the opulent Banqueting room, including gold dragon chandelier, and the stunning Music Room, designed to look like the inside of a Chinese lady's jewellery box.

We also have George IV's surprisingly beautiful Great Kitchen available, where the King himself was rumored to eat Christmas lunch. Or if you require something a little smaller we have three more intimate, but just as richly decorated rooms to choose from that are not open to the public.

We work closely with several approved caterers (list below), who are very familiar with the venue, and can also provide recommendations for quality AV suppliers, entertainment, florists and photographers. Classical string trios, harpists and jazz bands work very well in the venue, and we have hosted traditional Regency dance classes for some events which proved very popular.

As a venue for your event, the Royal Pavilion is a truly unique and historic setting like no other.


The Music Room at the Royal Pavilion was one of Geroge IV's favorite rooms, built to indulge his burning passion for music, many of the greatest musicians of the time performed here. This incredibly opulent space was designed to look like the inside of a Chinese lady's jewellery box, with gold and jewel tones glittering off of every surface.

This large open space is incredibly useful for conferences and awards ceremonies as well as concerts and lectures. We can also hold drinks receptions in this space, provided all liquids served are clear to protect the historic carpet.

Please do note this space is only available for evening hire as it is open to the public during the day. We are also limited when it comes to catering in this space and are only able to offer drinks due to the historic carpet.
