Secret tunnel to the pleasure palace

-

Explore the secret tunnel from Brighton Dome to the Royal Pavilion. This is a rare opportunity to access a hidden part of the city and discover the history of the Royal Stables and the pleasure palace.

Guided by Dan Cox, the Head Museum guide, we will journey through the tunnel under the gardens and emerge into the breathtaking Chinese-inspired interior of Brighton Royal Pavilion.

Upon resurfacing, you will delve into the history and design of one of the grandest rooms in the Royal Pavilion—the Music Room. Here, you will also learn about the extravagant 24/7 party lifestyle of King George IV.
