We have some exciting news – After a long search we’ve finally been offered a venue to house a temporary skate facility while our main site on Edward street is being rebuilt.

We’ve spend the last few weeks constructing a park at a location in west Hove, and will be opening in January.

Soon we’ll once again have an indoor space for young people to skateboard, and continue our programme that has been on hold since we closed in March.

There is still some work to do to get the place up and running, and we expect to announce an opening date in early January. Location, opening times and all that jazz will be released as soon as it’s confirmed. We’ll again be running open sessions and lessons for all ages across the week.

We are now roughly halfway through the rebuild of BYC, currently due to be completed in September 2025.

This multi-million pound regeneration will provide a huge update on what we had before.

The west side of the building is being demolished and replaced, with the entrance being moved onto the corner of Edward Street and an outdoor space created at the back, while the rest is being upgraded and refitted on the inside.

This will create a fully accessible youth centre with upgrades to all our existing facilities as well as new additions such as a cafe space, and counselling and GP rooms. On the top floor you can see the extension to the skatepark which will provide a larger seating area overlooking the city, toilets and extra amenities.

Our office and some of our youth activities have moved to 94 Gloucester Road. This is a smaller space and so we’re not able to offer as much as we’re used to but we’re slowly building our youth programme back up and welcome regular young members of BYC to join in. Call, email or contact Brighton Youth Centre on Instagram if you want info on what’s going on currently.

We’re extremely grateful to everyone who visits the centre over the years, and are sorry for the disruption. This work is essential to securing BYC’s long term future and allowing us to continue providing these services to young people in Brighton. We will of course keep you updated with any and all progress as we go through this change. Until then, if you didn’t hear it from us then feel free to ignore whatever it is.
