» Victorian Christmas at the Royal Pavilion
Father Christmas and his elf have moved into one of Brighton’s grandest residences – the Royal Pavilion. Families can enjoy a genuine Victorian Christmas at the pavilion this year, with a chance to meet Victorian revellers and the cook in costume.
There will also be a magic lantern show, a range of historical slides depicting Victorian Sussex and visitors can watch the Royal household preparing for Christmas in the Great Kitchen, where the cook will create a festive fare fit for a queen.
In the ornate Music Room, guests will be able to listen to a series of traditional Victorian prose and poetry readings, including festive family favourites ‘A Christmas Carol,’ ‘The Miseltoe Boug’h
and ‘T’Was The Night Before Christmas.’
