Start time: 14:30 Learn about what went on behind the scenes at the Royal Pavilion and what is generally unseen today. The Royal Pavilion was built in 1787 for the Prince of Wales, who became the Prince Regent in 1811 and King George IV in 1820. The original Pavilion was transformed by John Nash with his grand oriental design. Many of us have visited the Pavilion but there is much unseen. For example, below the Pavilion is a network of tunnels which had many different uses – from storing dirty laundry to accessing George’s private bedroom. The King did, however, spend £1,783 (c £164,082 today) on a tunnel to keep his servants hidden from the gardens as they went between the Pavilion and the stables, now the popular concert venue Brighton Dome. Come to hear more secrets. Jackie Marsh-Hobbs teaches courses about decorative arts, architecture, house history, and local history for Sussex University. She is a visiting lecturer at Brighton University. Jackie has been teaching since 1993, and has a reputation of being a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining speaker.
