This will be added to the £4.823 million grant allocated by the NLHF for the project in 2016, and the £458,920 granted to the scheme from Arts Council England’s (ACE) Cultural Capital Kickstart Fund last December. These funds will be used to continue phase one of the Royal Pavilion Estate regenration project, which involves refurbishing Brighton Dome’s Grade I-listed Corn Exchange and Grade II-listed Studio Theatre buildings.
