We only had an afternoon there, and by the time we got to the
Pavilion it was closing in 1/2hr and they weren't admitting any
more people. Think that was around 4.30pm, so get there earlier
than that or do it first before the Pier. Really disappointed we
didn't get inside.
As far as photography inside, not sure. Some places we visited
don't allow it due to "copyright" - particularly places
associated with the Royal Family. If I had to guess I'd say they
wouldn't allow it here.
Other things we saw in Brighton was obviously wander along the
Pier, browse the shops in The Lanes, had fish and chips :) , walk
along the pebble beach. Unfortunately that's all we had time
for.
Not sure where else you're going, but if you get a chance - Leeds
Castle in Kent (not Leeds, West York****re) was a great day. It
was donated to the Heritage Society or National Trust (can't
remember which) by Lady Bailey so it doesn't fall under that
copyright issue and you can take photos inside. There's huge
grounds with a duckery, averies, birds in flight/falconry show,
the castle and moat itself. Great day IMO.
Another good day we had was Isle of Wight. Take a car, you'll
need it if you only have a day there.
And Marwell Zoological Park I thought was pretty good too.
Hope that helps :)
