What happened
Brighton and Hove City Council took over management of the Royal Pavilion and its rink operations on October 15, 2026. The council confirmed the ice rink will not return to the Royal Pavilion this year. Instead, it will return in 2027 at Old Steine, following plans developed with Laine Ltd.

Why it matters
The council is using the funds to restore the Royal Pavilion gardens, which had been damaged by the rink and contributed to the gardens being placed on the Heritage At Risk register. The relocation prevents disruption to these garden renovations, which could have otherwise increased project costs.
