    Great place for a concert. Not too big so u can stage pretty well. Friendly staff. In a good location so easily found. As usual drinks and snacks horrendous prices!! Take ur own. Bags searched on entering but that's it! Top artists shown.

    Good venue for watching shows and productions. Toilets feel a bit tired with age and hand dryers definitely need updating. Not meant to take own refreshments in, so therefore what they supply there is overpriced. No direct parking on site, but there are several car parks within a short walking distance. The venue staff were helpful and polite.

    Seeing STEPS in concert this week was EPIC. Love the fact that this moderately sized venue gives such an intimate experience, and the crowd were so up for it - everyone seemed to have a great time! The free standing area was really lively, and bar queues were managed well. Great show everyone!!!

    The seats we had booked to see James Arthur, weren't great for being in a wheelchair, and a lovely steward called Dorothy, arranged for us to be moved where I could see without people standing in front. Wonderful customer service, thank you.

    I came for the Michael McIntyre show and it was chaotic and badly managed and sign posted. But the seat was good. Very handy if you're staying at The Grand Hotel.

    Quiet old building but the Event was fantastic. Enjoyed the Brighton Tattoo Convention a lot. Many very good artists. Location is maybe worth a little renovation here. Sometimes it is very difficult to not lose the orientation. From the upper balcony you can watch the sunset.

    Mid size venue with a square auditorium where you are never too far from the stage. Plenty of space outside in the lobby and bar areas. Drinks and food such as pizza slices available. Some parts need a bit of TLC and in common with most venues needs to come up with a plan to get rid of single use plastic cups which were broken and abandoned on the floor at the end.

    Had a lovely evening here last Saturday, when we came to watch the Strictly Professionals tour. The show was fabulous and the venue is great. Seating is a little cramped, but that’s no different to any other theatre that I have visited. There are plenty of places to get a drink or bite to eat on each level of the centre, although it isn’t cheap.

    Had a fabulous time watching Michael McIntyre, he was absolutely hilarious. Really good venue. Good size seats, which you often don't get when watching shows etc. Great staff, very welcoming. Beers we're £7 each, which is on the more expensive side but inline with other venues. Had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend both Michael McIntyre and this venue. Also stayed at the Travel lodge and it is literally round the corner, you can see the venue from the bedroom, carpark is up the road and is £24 overnight. We stayed in the carpark over 24 hours and they just charge the additional fee, Just in case you wanted to stop overnight.

    Great venue for all sorts of events and good disabled access.

    Brilliant venue went twice this week to see 2 different comedy acts. The weather was atrocious but was promptly led inside without having to queue

    The sound was good, but the comfort of the seats was not the best tbh. Also squeezed in the seats, especially if you're any taller than 4 1/2ft. It was nice and warm in the arena. But be aware as like most gigs a can of coke was £5!! Overall, though, this still didn't spoil the evening, but I won't be in a rush to go back here for a seated event.

    Having attended multiple events in Brighton Centre, I can confidently say that the overall organization of the venue is commendable. Access to the premises has always been smooth, without any major issues or delays. The staff members have consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism and helpfulness, ensuring a positive experience for attendees.

    Long time since I've been to a standing gig at the centre. Fat Boy Slim was the perfect choice for me because we could dance all night! The centre has been improved since I was last there in November. There are little cafes here and there so you can get snacks and cups of tea and coffee, easy access to study drinks too. I've always disliked the history fur bars at venues so this is a great option for me. When were keen for a beer we can drive in!

    I visited the venue during the BrightonSEO conference. Even though it has been renovated 2012 you still feel the spirit of the 1970s. Nonetheless it's a decent and well equipped event location.

    We produced a TV commercial in their main space and had a wonderful experience. The team were very accommodating and every facility was catered for. Thank you.

    Went to The Pet Shop Boys concert at the Brighton Centre and was very impressed. Good facilities, lift to all floors and very helpful easy going staff. It's not a very big venue so you always have a good view of the stage unlike some of the huge London venues, I would definitely recommend the Brighton Centre, it was a good experience.

    Incredible venue near the beach! The Brighton Centre has one of the best sound experience I've seen for quite sometime. We went to see Placebo, a band that kindly asked the fans to not record anything with their phones. Although this was optional, the way the staff handled it was a bit ridiculous: people on our left were taking pictures when each song ended and no one complained - instead, my girlfriend got warned for reading a WhatsApp message, not drawing the phone up on any moment. Overall, we loved the venue and the quality of the sound. We hope to return to Brighton and watch a show here.

    Great venue for any show.. we’ve been here a few times now and enjoyed it. This time we watched the Australian Pink Floyd and they was amazing. Sound system is great and lighting too.

  • 5/5 Celia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very impressed with Centre. Went to see Westlife. All services very well carried out. Security check, toilets, bars all of a high stand. Show absolutely amazing from beginning to end. Only down size the long walk back to station.

  • 2/5 Thomas K. 2 years ago on Google
    The act was great however the staff had no clue what they was doing and was arguing on arrival the hall it self was dirty and the floor was sticky everywhere you stood like as it hadn't had a mop for decades didn't have much to offer for drinks and what they had on tap was clearly off and should off been thrown awy and was over priced not much in the way off food options either and wished we ate before we turned up . Over then that completely covid safe checking people with Tests if people was unable prove if they had been vacanated

    Good venue for music, easy to get to. Bar waiting times were not too long. On the way out, only a small door was open whereas the larger one was closed. This caused a long queue at the end of the concert

    A amazing drag comedy show in a amazing venue. Located on Brighton seafront Close to everything you would need in the city centre. Staff are always friendly and welcoming I can't fault this venue, it's always a pleasure coming here.

    Brilliant arena, well organised in regards to safety procedures. Staff were friendly. In one concert the staff dealt quickly with someone who had a medical emergency. Only down side is the cosy of food and drink but you expect that in these venues. If you are down the front staff made sure that there was opportunities for people to have water.

    If there is a queue of people to get in then they sometimes open the back entrance on Russell Road. Overall, this is a good facility. Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge and Bill Bailey no doubt I'll return.

    Went to see Texas Live. Centre is easy to get to with parking across the road. Well organised and easy to find your seats. Have been many times to see concerts and always a good experience

  • 5/5 Kai G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great venue, went to see royal blood and sound quality was insane. Staff very professional and security were efficient at dealing with a violent crowd member! Bit of a crazy gig but plenty of seating for those who want it and standing was good too.

  • 3/5 Karen M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great seat with a great view unfortunately did not fulfill my expectations

  • 5/5 Dave & Jude T. 2 years ago on Google
    Not too big, a great venue to see everything on stage. Sat on balcony at the front no restrictions to view. Sound was excellent, seats comfy. Bars stocked well. All in all a very good experience.

    Love this place for live music... But bar service can be slow..

  • 3/5 Tony H. 2 years ago on Google
    Long queues to get in to see Question of Sport Live. Once in, it took an age to get a drink. The bar we used only had one card reader which delayed everything. To make matters worse the beer was Greene King. Despite being advertised, it was difficult to find a food outlet, and when we did find one, it was terribly expensive and the dishes couldn't be seen as they were preheated and in metal mobile containers. So, the catering is a total shambles. The one good thing, and of course perhaps the most important thing was the actual 'auditorium'. It's well set up and you always have a good view of the stage. The sound was good too.

    A great night seeing Billy Ocean, great venue for shows

  • 4/5 Buck R. 2 years ago on Google
    Saw the specials - good venue nice seats right at the front. Drinks fair price but long wait time. Had to show COVID passport to get in, which was a first.
