Paint and sip with Pinot & Picasso.

Equinox Sound & Colour Healing at the Royal Pavilion

Royal Pavilion – Music Room
Tickets £60 (Members £50)
As the red glow of the setting sun signals the shift into Autumn, join Brighton Sound’s Petra & Matt for a deeply immersive evening of sound and colour healing in the majestic Royal Pavilion.
In the stunning Music Room, bathed in the warm hues of red and orange, you’ll be guided on a sound journey with the gong — a meditation into the earth, reflecting on all you’ve grown this year as the seasons turn.
At this powerful moment of Equinox, as the leaves fall and the Solar year begins to wane, let the resonance of sound and the grounding energy of deep red prepare you for the transition into Autumn.
Harvest reflections. Vibrational healing. A return to balance.
Step into the changing season with intention, renewal, and harmony.

The John Dinkel Memorial Lecture: Alexandra Loske – Colour in the Royal Pavilion

Old Courtroom
Dr Alexandra Loske, curator of the Royal Pavilion and author of the new book about The Royal Pavilion, Brighton: A Regency Palace of Colour and Sensation (Yale University Press) will take you on a chromatic journey through George IV’s pleasure palace. Find out why and how George and his designers were able to create one of the most colourful historic buildings in Europe. New pigments, technologies, and attitudes all played a part, as well as beautifully illustrated books about colour.
