Regency Society Weekend

12th Oct 2012 - 14th Oct 2012

Royal Pavilion and Sallis Benney Theatre, Old Ship Hotel

The Prince Regent loved Brighton and left his mark – not only with the Royal Pavilion but on life in general. What was society like at that time? How did ordinary people live? What did "the seaside" mean? What was the Prince Regent’s cultural legacy? What did people eat and wear? What was the enduring impact of the Regency on the life and buildings of Brighton and Hove?

This weekend is designed for both the knowledgeable and the interested to celebrate the bicentenary of the first full year of the Regency. Sir Simon Jenkins opens proceedings, with Dan Cruikshank following on with The year 1812. At iconic Brighton venues, including the Brighton Pavilion and the historic Old Ship Hotel, 20 experts, including Faculty of Arts' Professor of Design History, Jonathan Woodham, will explore many aspects of life at the time.

Organised by The Regency Society of Brighton and Hove, a registered charity, number 210194, in partnership with The Royal Pavilion and Museums Foundation and the CRD at the University of Brighton Faculty of Arts.
