VR Hire Brighton
Five thousand square metres of seafront exhibition space, a Regency dome that has hosted everything, and a stadium with its own railway station. Brighton runs more events per square mile than anywhere south of London.
We know Brighton's venues
The city's own calendar is the main obstacle. Pride on the first weekend of August, the marathon, and the London-to-Brighton runs each close the seafront and central streets on set dates — and when Brighton closes a road it does so thoroughly. We check your date against all of them before quoting. The other seasonal reality is parking, which is scarce and expensive year-round and worse from May onwards, so drop points get agreed rather than assumed.
The venues justify the effort. The Brighton Centre handles 400 to 4,500 delegates on the seafront, the Dome and Corn Exchange offer Regency rooms for up to 1,700, and the Metropole is the largest residential conference hotel on the south coast. Out at Falmer, the Amex has ten lounges and its own station, though it operates a strict no-parking policy on event days — a park-and-ride arrangement that catches out suppliers expecting to pull up outside.

New England Quarter and Hove floors fit us
Rooms we work in across Brighton and Hove. The racecourse up on the hill has the parking the seafront can't offer, which for a large build makes it quietly the easiest option.

Travel
Brighton and Hove comes with travel covered. Every quote is checked against the city's event calendar first, and seafront jobs get a drop point agreed rather than a hopeful search for a space.
Booking
Conference season, the summer event calendar and December all compete for the same rooms. Six weeks is the safe margin for anything in those windows; January and February are excellent value.
