Brighton Dome

Brighton Dome is a performing arts center in Brighton, England, combining three interconnected spaces beneath a large central cupola: a concert hall, the Corn Exchange, and a studio theatre. Each room has its own character, with the concert hall forming the largest auditorium suited for orchestral concerts and large shows.

The building was erected as royal stables in the early 19th century and housed the horses of the Prince Regent. After 1850, when Queen Victoria sold the complex, the transformation into a public venue for concerts and theatre began.

The name Dome refers to the prominent central cupola that visitors notice immediately when entering the building. Performances range from pop concerts to dance and comedy, making the venue a meeting point for different art forms.

The venue is easiest to reach on foot from central Brighton, as it sits close to the Royal Pavilion. Entrances are level with the street, and there are accessible routes to all three halls.

The concert hall originally consisted of a circular room where royal horses were kept in individual stalls. During conversion, designers chose to preserve the round layout and turn it into an auditorium with special acoustic properties.
