About

Housed in a former Regency church in the heart of Brighton’s Lanes, Fabrica is a contemporary art gallery that transforms its historic setting into a space for bold and immersive artistic experiences. Since opening in 1996, it has become known for presenting large‑scale installations, film, and performance by both emerging and internationally acclaimed artists. The Grade II listed building, once the Holy Trinity Chapel, provides a dramatic backdrop where contemporary creativity meets architectural heritage. Fabrica’s programme extends beyond exhibitions, offering talks, screenings, workshops, and community projects that encourage dialogue and participation across all ages. As a registered charity, it is committed to making art accessible, with free entry and a welcoming atmosphere that invites visitors to encounter culture in unexpected ways. Supported by its café, shop, and venue hire, Fabrica sustains its mission to nurture artists and engage audiences. Today it stands as one of Brighton’s most distinctive cultural venues, where history and innovation come together in inspiring ways.
