Brighton Dome

About

The Brighton Dome is a historic arts venue that fuses 19th‑century grandeur with contemporary flair. Nestled in the heart of Brighton, the complex houses a striking concert hall, the stately Corn Exchange, and the intimate Studio Theatre – all connected by a charming tunnel to the Royal Pavilion Estate. After a £22 million refurbishment that restored its acoustic brilliance and uncovered the iconic dome organ, the venue now offers free daytime access to its refurbished spaces, making it a welcoming hub for locals and visitors alike. Each of the three theatres showcases a unique character: the Concert Hall boasts a soaring glass roof and world‑class acoustics, the Corn Exchange impresses with its Georgian architecture and flexible event spaces, and the Studio Theatre is a favourite for cutting‑edge performances and community art projects. The Dome Organ, a four‑manual marvel built by Hill, Norman & Beard, draws musicians and audiences from across the globe. Beyond the stage, the Dome is committed to accessibility, offering a range of assisted performances, hearing assistance, and adaptive facilities for visitors with special needs. Its vibrant programme includes music, theatre, dance, comedy and family‑friendly events, all underpinned by a strong partnership with local arts organisations and the thriving Brighton community. Whether you are a seasoned concertgoer, a history enthusiast, or simply looking for a free cultural outing in the summer, the Brighton Dome presents an inspiring blend of heritage, modernity, and inclusive hospitality.
