Candlelight: Valentine’s Day Special

If you’re looking for something a bit different for Valentine's Day this year, the Royal Pavilion is hosting the 'Candlelight: Valentine’s Day Special' concert. This event, part of the popular series presented by Fever, is happening on Saturday, February 14, 2026, starting at 9:00 PM (21:00). The whole idea behind the series is to enjoy live music in an intimate setting, enhanced by the warm glow of LED candles, offering a unique backdrop for the evening in one of Brighton’s most beautiful venues.

The music itself will be performed by a string quartet, focusing on timeless love songs and iconic film themes, reimagined for the classical setting. The confirmed setlist includes classics like 'Unchained Melody', 'La Vie En Rose', and 'Can’t Help Falling in Love' (Elvis Presley), alongside more recent hits such as 'Shallow' (Lady Gaga) and 'A Thousand Years' (Christina Perri). If you’re a fan of movie soundtracks, they are also covering 'My Heart Will Go On' (Celine Dion) and 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight?' (Elton John). The performance is designed to be a concise experience, running for 60 minutes.

If you plan on going, doors open 45 minutes before the 9 PM start time. Tickets are required and can be purchased through the FeverUp website. It’s worth noting that the initial prices mentioned vary quite a bit depending on the source and seating tier, starting from £27.00 up to £51.45, so you should check the options carefully before booking. Logistically, the venue is wheelchair accessible. While it’s clearly geared towards a romantic evening, the event is open to attendees aged 8 and up, though anyone under 16 needs to be accompanied by an adult.
