Venue

Flash on the Beach is absolutely delighted to announce that we have secured the stunning Brighton Dome complex as our venue again for FOTB08.

The Dome complex houses 3 venues collectively known as the The Brighton Dome. Situated on Brighton's Royal Pavilion Estate, they comprise of: The Brighton Dome, The Corn Exchange and The Pavilion Theatre. Alongside the 3 magnificent venues, The Dome also houses a fabulous galleried bar and reception area where we will be holding our breakfast and end of day networking mixers.

The Dome

The Dome's recent multi-million pound rebuilding and refurbishment project has restored the venue to its original glory, maintaining the integrity of both the Grade 1 listed Regency exterior and the 1930s Grade 1 listed interior. Superb new front-of-house facilities, comfortable seating and enhanced acoustics have transformed the Concert Hall into a major centre for live arts and business for the 21st century.

The Corn Exchange

The Corn Exchange was built at the same time as the Dome Concert Hall and was originally the Prince Regent's riding house. Little alteration took place with the exception of lighting being added and the gravel floor replaced with wood in 1867. Towards the end of the 19th century, the Corn Exchange was used as an archaeological and geological museum. It is now a unique and versatile venue with a magnificent single span of arched ceiling and a sprung maple floor. It was lovingly restored as part of the recent Brighton Dome refurbishment project.

The Pavilion Theatre

Built in 1935, the Pavilion Theatre was first used as a supper room and became a theatre soon afterwards. As well as hosting comedy, dance, theatre and musicals, the Pavilion Theatre is a thriving live music venue proving increasingly popular with both musicians and audiences. It is also the home of several youth and community-based groups such as Brighton Dome’s own dance and drama groups and the Short Circuit circus school.
