Rialto Theatre
About

The Rialto Theatre, housed in a striking Grade II-listed Gothic chapel at 11 Dyke Road, Brighton BN1 3FE, is one of the city’s most atmospheric performance spaces. Just steps from the Clock Tower and a short walk from Brighton Station, its dramatic arches and stained-glass windows create a unique backdrop for theatre, music, comedy and spoken word. Since its transformation from a place of worship into a cultural venue, the Rialto has become a hub for both established companies and emerging talent, particularly during the Brighton Fringe when it hosts an eclectic programme of new writing and experimental work. The intimate auditorium, with its flexible staging and excellent acoustics, ensures audiences are drawn close to the action, while the adjoining bar and lounge provide a welcoming space to gather before and after performances. Blending heritage architecture with contemporary creativity, the Rialto Theatre offers a distinctive cultural experience that reflects Brighton’s reputation as a city of innovation and artistic energy.
