Built in 1935 on the site of Maria Fitzherbert’s stables, Brighton Dome Studio Theatre (formerly known as the Pavilion Theatre) was first used as a supper room and became a theatre soon afterwards. It is now a space for you to sample some of the best new theatre and dance from national and international companies alongside artists from the region.  It has been lovingly restored as part of the recent refurbishment project alongside the Corn Exchange.
