Toilets will be frequently cleaned and monitored by staff.

In Brighton Museum toilets are available on the ground floor and a further accessible toilet at the far end of the first floor. At Preston Manor, toilets are available on the ground floor and an accessible toilet in the basement area, close to the accessible entrance and lift. Do I need to wear a face mask? Although no longer a legal requirement we encourage visitors to wear face masks when visiting any of our venues for the safety and protection of others. Masks must be worn in the Royal Pavilion Shop in accordance with the latest guidelines, unless you are exempt. Will audio guides be available? We have suspended the use of the audio guides in the Royal Pavilion and have replaced it with a free tour you can use on your mobile phone. Is the Royal Pavilion Shop open? The Royal Pavilion Shop is open and souvenirs can also be purchased at our other museums. Our new online shop will launch in December 2021. Are you accepting cash payments in the shop? Yes. Can I leave a buggy or luggage? We have a buggy park in the Royal Pavilion but luggage and other items must not be left in this room. Large luggage and suitcases are not permitted inside the palace for conservation reasons. Please ask for assistance with buggies at the front desk at Brighton Museum. At Preston Manor, there is a small outside area where buggies can be parked, but this is not patrolled and owners leave items in this space at their own risk. We cannot store any luggage in the house. Events What measures are in place for events that require an audience to sit together? Although no longer a legal requirement, we encourage visitors to wear face masks when attending a talk or event in any of our venues. Staff and contractors are also strongly encouraged to wear face coverings. We provide hand sanitiser for all attendees. Events will be as well ventilated as possible given local weather conditions and with regard to the conservation of our buildings. We continue to monitor best practice for any events and may review our occupancy levels on a regular basis. Donate online Covid-19 has hit us hard. Can you help?
