Your Safety
How we keep you, our artists, our staff and volunteers safe
Security
Like all public events, Brighton Festvai has a number of security measures in place to help minimise the possibility of a terrorist attack. These measures include procedures should an attack actually happen.
As a matter of course, our visitor services team are in regular contact with counter terrorism Police who provide regular briefings to us and recommendations. In addition, we work closely with them to ensure that we are fully prepared to deal with any potential incidents on site. To make your visit as safe, secure and enjoyable as possible we carefully assess each event alongside the current security risk set by the government to decide what security measures need to be in place. These additional security measures may include bag checks, limitations on what can be taken into the auditorium and ticket checks at ticketed events.
Bags
Please minimise items being brought to events. We may confiscate bags larger than an A3 piece of paper 35cm x 40cm x 19cm
Special effects
We will often try to notify our audiences of special effects or props via advance publicity or pre show email however we are not always aware of these in time to do so. Please refer to the signage on the entrances to the auditorium/event site if you would like to check up on the use of effects such as strobe or haze machines. If you have any specific access related questions please feel free to make contact with our Ticket Office or access lines.
Noise
Loud noise can damage your hearing. We have earplugs available at all events should you want to use these. We post signage at the entrance to the auditorium when noise levels are expected to exceed 85db at any point.
We are not always able to notify customers in advance of the day about the use of effects at events however events which include strobe will be notified to customers via a notice on the auditorium doors. Please contact access@brightondome.org or call 01273 261 541 ahead of time if you have any specific questions about noise levels, strobe or effects and we will do our best to help.

Face coverings
Wearing a face covering is no longer a legal requirement however we welcome anyone who wishes to wear one to do so. We have free face coverings for any visitors should you like to have one, just ask a member of stewarding staff.
Ventilation
The auditoriums at Brighton Dome are served by mechanical ventilation providing fresh air to the venues and extracting stale air.
Our foyer spaces are naturally ventilated.
Hygiene
Please practice good general hygiene by washing hands regularly, using hand sanitiser and catching coughs and sneezes.
