Welcome

The Nightingale is a small, perfectly formed multi-artform theatre presenting great performances across dance, theatre, film and spoken word.

Situated above the Grand Central bar beside Brighton train station the Nightingale Theatre used to be part of the station hotel. The theatre floor is made up of the main theatre space, the 'dining room', a 'smoking room' and the dressing room, the former hotel kitchen complete with dumb waiter. We encourage performances or events to happen in any of these spaces.

The Nightingale is a treasured resource for development and residencies. All our spaces are available to artists within this vibrant city and beyond as a blank canvas to create work that engages with audiences in the most vital and compelling way.

The Nightingale is also available for hire.
