Gala Dinner

Thursday 30th January 2025 @ 19:30
Brighton Corn Exchange, Royal Pavilion Gardens, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN1 1EE
Open to all attendees (booking required - additional cost shown in Registration rates document)

Brighton Dome Corn Exchange was built at the same time as the 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 Brighton Dome lottery funded refurbishment project in 2002.
