Royal Pavilion, Banqueting 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 stunningly opulent Banqueting Room is the heart of the Royal Pavilion and the ultimate space to impress!

Built for George IV to throw his lavish banquets, no room could offer more history, glamour and drama. Whether used for a drinks reception or a seated dinner, the Banqueting Room is sure to leave guests in owe. Where else does a giant Regency chandelier held up by a dragon watch over proceedings? This room really has to be seen to be believed!
