Royal Romance at the Royal Pavilion

If you're planning your Valentine's weekend in Brighton, the Royal Pavilion is offering a special guided tour that steps away from the usual chocolate and flowers. On Saturday, February 14, 2026, they are hosting Royal Romance at the Royal Pavilion, officially titled Royal Romance: The Complicated Love Life of George IV. This isn't just a standard historical walk-through; the focus is specifically on exploring the juicy gossip surrounding the King's romantic entanglements. It’s being promoted as one of the top ways to celebrate the day with your partner, gal, or pal in style, suggesting it’s aimed squarely at an adult audience interested in history and intrigue.

The tour is designed for those looking for a bit of historical drama alongside their romance. While the exact start time of the Royal Romance tour isn't specified, it will take place within the Pavilion's standard winter opening hours. During this period (October through March), the venue is open daily from 10:00 until 17:15, with the last admission 45 minutes before closing. This gives you a good window to plan the rest of your day around the city, whether you’re heading out for lunch or an evening activity.

Since this is a special guided experience within a historic palace, you should expect to purchase a ticket. The standard adult entry fee for the Royal Pavilion is currently £19.50, though residents of Brighton & Hove benefit from a reduced rate of £14.75. It’s worth noting that other specialized guided tours offered by the Pavilion typically carry an additional cost on top of the standard entry price, sometimes ranging from £10 to £15 per person, so factor that into your budget when considering this Valentine's special.
