Brighton's principal performing arts venue, beside the Royal Pavilion, with three auditoria: the Concert Hall, the Corn Exchange and the Studio Theatre.
Brighton Dome is the city's principal performing arts venue, occupying the Prince Regent's former riding house and stables on Church Street, immediately north of the Royal Pavilion. Three auditoria sit under one roof: the Concert Hall, the Corn Exchange and the Studio Theatre. It presents music, theatre, dance, comedy and spoken word year round, and is the main home of Brighton Festival. All three spaces are available for commercial and public hire.
Main auditorium
The Dome's main auditorium, a domed Art Deco hall used for concerts, comedy and large-scale performance.
Operator's venue page states "Seated: 1,400 - 1,700" and "Standing/Seated: 1,700 - 1,800" depending on configuration; with the stalls seating removed it gives an increased part-standing capacity of 1,860. The upper figure of each published range is recorded here.
Flat-floor hall
A large flat-floor hall with retractable tiered seating, reopened after restoration in 2023.
Figures from the operator's own Corn Exchange page. The source's words map as follows: "Theatre 505" recorded as seated, "Reception 800" as standing, "Banqueting 500" as dining. The source gives a single combined figure of 400 for "Classroom / Cabaret", recorded here against both.
Studio theatre
A flexible studio theatre used for smaller-scale performance, conferences and receptions.
Figures from the operator's own Studio Theatre page. The source's words map as follows: "Theatre 267" recorded as seated, "Reception 264" as standing, "Lunch / Dinner / Dance 100" as dining. Classroom 70, boardroom 40 and cabaret 60 are the source's own terms.
