Brighton Hippodrome, Grade II* listed theatre in Brighton and Hove, England.
The Brighton Hippodrome features ornate interior decorations and architectural elements designed by Frank Matcham, including a circular auditorium with domed ceiling.
Opening its doors in 1901, the theatre operated as a prominent entertainment venue until 1964, later serving as a bingo hall from 1967 to 2006.
The Hippodrome stands as number one on the Theatres at Risk register, reflecting its importance in British performing arts heritage.
Located in the Middle Street area of Brighton, the building requires substantial restoration work before reopening to the public for entertainment purposes.
The circular auditorium design allows for both theatrical performances and circus acts, with a mechanism that can transform the stage into a water-filled arena.
