About
Brighton Dome
Brighton Dome is one of the South Coast's most distinctive conference and events venues, offering a collection of historic and contemporary spaces in the heart of Brighton's Cultural Quarter.
Originally part of the Prince Regent's Royal Pavilion Estate, the venue combines more than 200 years of history with modern event infrastructure. Its spaces range from the 1,700-capacity Concert Hall to the extensively restored Corn Exchange, flexible Studio Theatre and a collection of bars, foyers and breakout spaces.
The Grade II listed Concert Hall provides the venue's largest auditorium and is particularly suited to conferences, plenary sessions, graduations, performances and large presentations. The adjoining Corn Exchange offers a completely different environment, with retractable seating allowing the room to transform from a 505-seat auditorium into a large flat-floor space for dinners, exhibitions and receptions.
Following a major redevelopment, the Corn Exchange and Studio Theatre combine restored heritage architecture with contemporary production and digital technology. Additional spaces including the Gallery Bar, Festival Bar, Founders Room and Foyer Bar provide options for registration, catering, networking, breakouts and smaller standalone events.
With Brighton Station within walking distance, thousands of hotel bedrooms across the city and the seafront close by, Brighton Dome is particularly well positioned for conferences and events bringing delegates to Brighton from across the UK.

Why Hire
Brighton Dome offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find: genuine large-scale event capacity within a venue that has a strong architectural identity and sense of place.
For conferences, the ability to use a 1,700-seat auditorium alongside the 780 m² Corn Exchange, Studio Theatre and smaller supporting spaces creates considerable flexibility. A large conference can accommodate its plenary, exhibition, catering, networking and breakout requirements within the same venue rather than splitting delegates across separate buildings.
The restored Corn Exchange is another major strength. Its retractable seating means organisers are not restricted to an auditorium format, allowing the room to move between conference sessions, exhibitions, dinners and receptions depending on the requirements of an event.
Its location also makes Brighton Dome particularly attractive for national and multi-day events. Brighton Station, the seafront, restaurants, bars and a substantial choice of accommodation are all within easy reach, allowing the wider city to become part of the delegate experience.
