Brighton & Hove City Council and Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival have been awarded funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to develop their joint vision to revitalise the Royal Pavilion Estate.
The long term ambition is to reconnect the historic buildings and landscape of the Estate and to create a centre for heritage, culture and the performing arts which reflects the unique spirit of Brighton.

The Royal Pavilion Estate encompasses the Royal Pavilion, Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, Royal Pavilion Garden and all the Brighton Dome venues; Concert Hall, Corn Exchange and Studio Theatre. The first phase of the project focuses on Brighton Dome’s Corn Exchange and Studio Theatre.

In developing an interpretation plan and activity plan for the project, we welcome your comments about the activities, events and historical information you would like to see across the Estate. Your feedback will help inform these plans. The survey will take a few minutes and you will be entered into a prize draw to win a Spa Day for Two.

The survey is designed and managed by Tricolor Ltd. For any queries about the survey please contact Kate.Richardson@brighton-hove.gov.uk. For any media enquiries please contact Alan.Stone@brighton-hove.gov.uk.
