Brixham Laboratory

Located on the waterfront in the heart of Brixham Harbour, Brixham Laboratory is one of South Devon’s most unique contemporary event venues, combining striking industrial architecture, creative studio space and panoramic coastal views within a restored former fish market laboratory building. Positioned directly on the harbour edge overlooking the working fishing port, the venue delivers a highly distinctive setting for conferences, networking events, private dining, creative gatherings and cultural experiences.

Originally built as part of Brixham’s historic fishing industry infrastructure, the building has been carefully transformed into a modern multi-purpose venue while retaining much of its industrial maritime character. Exposed steelwork, large windows, open-plan interiors and harbour-facing spaces create an atmosphere that feels creative, relaxed and entirely different from traditional corporate venues or hotels.

Its waterside setting, contemporary interiors and flexible layout make the venue particularly attractive for businesses, creative industries, brand events and clients looking for an event environment with personality and strong visual identity.

Event Spaces

The Main Laboratory Space
At the centre of the venue is the main open-plan event space, a flexible contemporary environment suited to conferences, networking events, private dining, workshops, presentations and creative productions. Industrial detailing and large harbour-facing windows create a bright and highly characterful event setting.

Harbour View Event Areas
Supporting the main space are a collection of breakout and hospitality areas overlooking Brixham Harbour, ideal for drinks receptions, informal networking and smaller meetings with uninterrupted coastal views.

Creative & Workshop Spaces
The venue’s adaptable layout allows spaces to be configured for workshops, creative sessions, team away days and collaborative events, making it particularly popular with creative and innovation-led organisations.

Outdoor Waterfront Setting
One of the venue’s defining features is its direct harbourfront position, creating a strong destination feel for guests and providing immediate access to Brixham’s vibrant waterfront environment.

Dining & Hospitality
Brixham Laboratory works with flexible catering and hospitality partners, allowing clients to create bespoke food and drink experiences suited to a wide variety of event formats.
