Royal Pavilion becomes Palace of Dragons for fantastical banquet
This will be the first time in known history that a Chinese banquet has been served at the Royal Pavilion, the audacious seaside palace of King George IV, known for its Asian-inspired architecture and interiors.
Brighton’s most extravagant dinner party invites guests to step inside a living fantasy of dragons, music, and glamour
Guests will be welcomed with Dragon’s Breath Punch in the Royal Pavilion’s Great Kitchen, before proceeding into the grand Music Room for dragon-inspired entertainment. The evening will culminate with a three-course fine dining experience in the Royal Pavilion’s famous Banqueting Room.
A banquet fit for the dragon court
The carefully curated three-course dragon themed banquet is designed as a shared, theatrical dining experience. Its dramatic finalé is the Dragon’s Egg Dessert, a dish specially designed for this once-in-a-lifetime evening.
Guests will dine to the tunes of dragon-inspired music played live by a harpist, as atmospheric storytelling is woven throughout the experience, bringing the mythology, beauty and power of dragons into the heart of the evening.
“The Palace of Dragons Banquet will come alive in this one-off after-hours experience like no other,” says David Purdue, Senior Events Manager at the Royal Pavilion. “Guests will get to experience a fully realised fantasy experience where storytelling, performance, and exquisite food come together in one of the most visually spectacular settings in the country.”
Guests are encouraged to dress in fantasy finery if they wish to. Places are limited. Advanced booking is required.
