Plans unveiled for £65m King Alfred Leisure Centre in Brighton

Plans have been revealed for a £65m sports and leisure facility in Brighton. Set to replace the ageing King Alfred Leisure Centre, the proposed facility will transform the current seafront site into a “modern, accessible and sustainable leisure destination for all”, with spaces for sports, leisure and social and wellbeing activities.

Exact details for the project – which is led by the council’s main delivery partner, Alliance Leisure and its team, which includes GT3 Architects – will be confirmed, but are likely to include a larger fitness suite, a leisure water area, a family entertainment zone and improved accessibility throughout.

The building is designed to make the most of its seafront location, offering sea views from the pools, gym and café, while landscaping will connect it to a revitalised public realm.
