Brighton Dome
A performance venue converted from the Prince Regent's stables. ABBA won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest here, and it is the main venue of the Brighton Festival.
Brighton Dome was originally the royal stables of the Royal Pavilion, built in 1805. Beneath its great dome, the hall was later converted into a concert hall, forming an arts complex together with the Corn Exchange and the Studio Theatre. In 1974, the band ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest here with 'Waterloo', and a commemorative plaque stands at the entrance. Concerts, comedy and dance performances take place all year round, and the Brighton Festival is centered here every May. The exterior can be viewed at any time. Tickets are needed to attend performances, and some sessions include architectural tours.
