Based in New England House’s lower ground floor, with its own entrance on Elder Place off London Road, this brand new venue will provide young creatives with a dynamic, multipurpose space to produce, create, perform, showcase and collaborate on artistic projects.

The Lighthouse Project Space was created in response to a growing need for venues designed specifically for young creatives from all backgrounds. It aims to overturn traditional gallery and performance models while setting a unique example for cities around the UK. The 130 square metre space will transform between exhibition, event, residency, and production modes.

Lighthouse developed the concept with Spacemakers, a regeneration group working in Brighton, London and Stockholm. The design and build were done by Alex Peters, a Brighton-based designer-maker, and adapts a long-disused, 1960s light-industrial unit.
