This spring/summer, a new collaboration between Brighton & Hove Museums and The Ivy Asia Brighton invites visitors to immerse themselves in a world of myth, art and flavour, while directly supporting the preservation of the city’s cultural heritage.
Running from 27 April to 27 July 2026, the Royal Dragons experience celebrates the power, beauty and mystery of one of the world’s most iconic mythical figures. Inspired by the new DRAGONS exhibition at the Royal Pavilion, the partnership blends heritage and hospitality into a unique cultural offering.
At the heart of the initiative is a charitable contribution.
The Ivy Asia will donate £10 per Royal Dragons experience adult ticket and £5 per child ticket sold to Brighton & Hove Museums to support the charity’s vital work to preserve and share the city’s unique heritage and collections for generations to come.
