Description

BDBF will soon be completing a multi- million pound refurbishment of its venues which will result in a major transformation of the 200-year-old Grade I listed Corn Exchange, the Riding Room built and used by George IV, plus significant improvements to the 250 seat Grade II listed Studio Theatre.

New spaces include a ground floor restaurant opening on to New Road.

Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival

BDBF is responsible for the year-round operation of Brighton Dome and for delivery of the renowned annual Brighton Festival. The organisation is recognised as central to the city’s reputation as a cultural destination. Reaching annual audiences of over 600,000, BDBF delivers a diverse range of events including rock, pop and classical concerts, dance, theatre, and comedy shows alongside conferences, business and community events and educational activity.

The Opportunity

The tenancy is looked upon as a ‘partnership’ with BDBF who see this space at the heart of the visitor welcome, playing a role in attracting new visitors to the destination venues. The food offer will play a vital part within the events operation, offering added value to visitors and enhancing the other catering facilities on site. BDBF is keen to work together to promote offers to ticket holders, members and patrons. The demised area will have its own street access into the main building from New Road and will have access through to the main internal circulation areas of the Brighton Dome. Separate catering areas will be in use by the in-house bars team and external event caterers so it will be necessary for the operator to work closely with the BDBF management team on an operational level. BDBF are seeking a partner who will help build on its work to create a sustainable venue operation.
