Our Place

Celebrate 10 years with us

Every year, Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival work in partnership with community steering groups to select, programme and produce free art projects, performances, and events in their communities.

A programme of work whose ethos was originally inspired by former Brighton Festival Guest Director, Kae Tempest, this year Our Place celebrates ten years of Brighton & Hove communities and artists creating work with lasting impact. Join us this Spring for various Artist in Residence projects, and community celebration events at Brighton Festival.  

'We have worked with Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival for the last 7 years and Our Place is THE talked about event within the whole of the Hangleton and Knoll Community. The benefit to our area that Brighton Festival provides is priceless. Our community can experience events and shows that they wouldn’t normally experience due to the wide range of different and inclusive activities that Brighton Festival provide. They pride themselves on their inclusivity, always thinking of every need possible when programming, going above and beyond to ensure there is an activity for everyone.' 

Gemma Powell, Manager, Hangleton Community Centre
