Brighton Dome Studio Theatre

Brighton Dome Studio Theatre is a performance venue within the larger Brighton Dome complex holding around 250 seats that adapts to different event types. The space features retractable seating and functions as a theatre, classroom, boardroom, or reception area depending on the configuration.

The building was originally designed in 1935 as a supper room by architect Robert Atkinson. It sits on land that once held the stables of Maria Fitzherbert, an important figure in Brighton's past.

The theatre serves as a performance space where local and visiting artists showcase their work throughout the year. You will find a mix of established acts and emerging talent sharing the stage in this active cultural venue.

The venue has lifts and wheelchair-friendly spaces throughout to ensure access for visitors with mobility needs. Allow time to navigate the larger complex and find the studio entrance, as it is situated within the bigger Brighton Dome building.

A major renovation in 2023 upgraded the sound systems and added a new balcony section to the space. The work carefully retained the original architectural features including the distinctive ceiling while meeting modern performance needs.
