Royal Pavilion Gardens Restoration Moves Forward with £8M Funding
What happened
Restoration work on the Royal Pavilion Gardens can now move forward after councillors backed a budget increase using donations and National Lottery money. The £8 million project secured £1.6 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and a grant from Historic England. Historic England had previously placed the gardens on its heritage at risk register in 2017.

Why it matters
The project, which is managed by the Royal Pavilion and Museums Trust, is supported by a £750,000 allocation from the city council. Officials stated that this external funding allows for improvements at a scale that would not be possible with council resources alone, serving as an investment in the city’s heritage.
