Frost, fire and festive fun at the Royal Pavilion

It’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas. The Royal Pavilion has a palace full of festive experiences, including an interactive winter adventure, encounters with Father Christmas, festive shopping, Regency cream teas, seasonal banquets, and a carol concert.
The Royal Pavilion is transformed for the winter season, with an icy magic taking hold and a young dragon named Puck holding the spark needed to restore the warmth. Young explorers can join Princess Charlotte on an interactive adventure, following a trail of clues and taking on playful challenges. Adults can enjoy the spectacular festive displays and winter decorations.
There are opportunities to meet Father Christmas, with private experiences and storytime sessions available. The Royal Pavilion also offers Christmas Regency Cream Teas, with freshly baked scones and seasonal tea in elegant surroundings.
The palace provides a spectacular setting for festive celebrations, including Christmas Banquets with a welcome glass of sparkling wine, a traditional carol concert, and a three-course Indian-inspired feast.
Christmas shopping is available at the exclusive after-hours shopping event, Frost, Fire & Fizz, with a glass of Roebuck Estates English sparkling wine and a special shopping discount.
Music lovers can enjoy the Royal Pavilion’s Carol Concert, featuring beautiful local choirs performing much-loved Christmas carols.
The Royal Pavilion offers plenty of ways to enjoy Christmas, from family adventures and festive encounters to shopping, dining, and music.
