    About

    Welcome to the south coast's premier multi-arts venue at the cultural heart of one of England's most creative cities. Each year, we present and produce over 600 events spanning music, theatre, dance, comedy, literature, spoken word, visual arts, film, digital and more. In addition to the year-round programme, each May we produce England's leading and most-progressive mixed-arts celebration, the internationally-acclaimed Brighton Festival. With a rich history spanning over 200 years (starting life as the Prince Regent's stables and riding house), Brighton Dome provides an extraordinary space in which to bring the arts alive. A hub for artists across the region, Brighton Dome commissions and supports both emerging and established artists and companies, enabling them to develop, take risks and deliver work of the highest quality. Brighton Dome is committed to bringing all sorts of art to all sorts of people. By offering imaginative new ways to discover and participate, we aim to inspire creativity in people of all ages with experiences to remember. We're committed to making a visit to Brighton Dome easy and enjoyable for as many people as possible. We regularly programme music, comedy, theatre, talks and dance performances for adults and young people with a range of access needs in mind - including BSL interpretation, relaxed performances, touch tours and productions by disabled artists. A list of assisted performances can be found here: https://bit.ly/3T5ZMcC Brighton Dome is supported by Brighton & Hove City Council and Arts Council England.

    The Brighton Dome

    We’ve been to the Brighton Dome a few times - to see comedy, and music. The last time we went to see ‘The Divine Comedy’ who were brilliant. The Dome is behind the Pavilion and was, I think, the original stable block. The level access entrance has beautiful old wall tiles, and the whole place has a slightly faded elegance. about it. One problem with music concerts is visibility in a wheelchair when those (understandably) in front want to dance and unwittingly block the view. The Dome had anticipated this problem and asked me if I would like to be moved once the audience got up (at the band’s request). I agreed, and was very impressed when they came over and duly moved me and moved anyone who dared to stand in front of me. In addition, there are disabled spaces outside. But get there early.

    Excellent tour for Disabled Access Open Day

    A backstage tour of Brighton's top music and arts venue - and all wheelchair accessible. I got the sense that they genuinely try to accommodate everyone for shows and gigs. If you have a special requirement, just ask them.
