Brighton Dome
Brighton Dome, Church Street, Brighton & Hove, East Sussex, BN1 1UE
Take part this September in our annual celebration of Brighton Dome’s rich heritage. In 2025, we mark 90 years since the venue’s striking Art Deco transformation— a refurbishment that helped shape the venue we know today. Explore the style and spirit of our remarkable redesign with activities for all the family including backstage tours and hands on craft workshops.
Join historian Dr Kathryn Ferry, author of a new book on Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture, as she explores the Art Deco redesign of Brighton Dome and discusses the wider context of buildings from the interwar holiday boom. During the 1920s and 30s competition between resorts intensified as increasing numbers of British people won the right to paid holidays. New attractions sprang up to meet this demand including open-air pools, entertainment pavilions and dance halls, streamlined beach huts and even pioneering car parks. For existing structures like the historic Dome, a modern revamp capitalised on the popularity of Hollywood movies and Riviera-inspired sun worship.
