Welcome to the Palace of Dragons and step into a world of flight, fantasy and magic.

DRAGONS at the Royal Pavilion explores the power, beauty and mystery of the world’s most iconic mythical creatures.

Discover the dragons that watch over the Royal Pavilion itself, carved in splendour, glimmering in gold or hiding in unexpected places. Follow the dragons’ footsteps and discover fearsome beasts and elegant symbols of myth and power.

Go on a dragon quest, find dragon eggs and help the baby dragons find their way home. Step into the dragon’s mouth, search for dragons in the mirrors, listen to roaring dragons in the palace halls, relax with a story, and be a Royal Pavilion Dragon Detective.

In the Prince Regent Gallery Fire and Water: Dreaming of Dragons takes you on a journey around the world, revealing how dragons have captured people’s imagination in European and Asian cultures.
