Event Tickets

There’s nothing quite like the gift of a shared experience. Christmas at Brighton Dome is packed with unforgettable shows for all ages.

From 27–31 December, world-class circus troupe FLIP Fabrique brings Blizzard to the stage, a breathtaking swirl of acrobatics and visual poetry for ages 6+. At the same time, young families will love A Town Called Christmas (ages 3+), a heart-warming mix of music, magic and mayhem.

If you’re after something lively, gather your friends and family for the Christmas Ceilidh on 13 December, where The Sussex Pistols will have everyone dancing. And for a dose of pure festive nostalgia, The Snowman returns on 21 December, complete with live orchestral accompaniment.

Looking ahead to the new year, there’s plenty to brighten the winter months: top-tier comedy from Bridgit Christie and Al Murray, alongside beautiful classical concerts from the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra and the Heath Quartet.

Name a Seat 

For the ultimate keepsake, you can dedicate a seat in Brighton Dome. It’s a unique and lasting way to celebrate someone who loves the arts, or to remember someone who made the venue part of their life. Their name (or a name of your choice) will be inscribed on a seat plaque, becoming part of the building’s story for years to come.
