Fabrica

Built in 1817, Fabrica is a historic gem for filmmakers and photographers. Its original font, exposed beams, high ceilings, and elegant gallery give every corner a story to tell.

Gothic Revival additions from the 1850s and 1880s add even more character. The venue works beautifully for both period and modern productions. Set on the lively corner of Duke Street and Ship Street, its surroundings are as inspiring as its interior. Step outside to explore Brighton’s famous Lanes, full of independent shops and restaurants.

Inside, you’ll find a large main hall, stage area, production office, hair and makeup rooms, wardrobe space, a catering kitchen, and a moveable café/bar. The venue also offers access to power and water, nearby council parking bays, and even negotiable vehicle access to pedestrianised Ship Street. It’s as practical as it is beautiful.

Fabrica is ideal for fashion shoots, interviews, or as a base for nearby productions. Its historic charm, flexible layout, and city-centre location make it a standout choice.
