Theatre Royal Brighton is a historic theatre that opened in 1807 and remains one of Brighton's most recognisable performing arts venues. The building is Grade II* listed, while its richly decorated Regency-style auditorium, proscenium stage and approximately 950 seats arranged across four levels create the atmosphere of a classic British theatre. Its programme typically includes plays, musicals, comedy, dance productions and touring shows.
Inside, the multi-level auditorium retains an intimate theatrical character. Historic detailing, views towards the traditional proscenium stage and the relatively close relationship between audience and performers are central to the experience, while several bar areas provide drinks before performances and during intervals.
The theatre is located in Brighton's central cultural district at New Rd, Brighton and Hove, Brighton, United Kingdom. The main entrance opens directly onto New Road; the nearest bus stops on North Street are around a two-minute walk away, while NCP Church Street is among the closest public car parks and several designated accessible parking spaces are available close to the venue.
