Tower Gardens Pavilion completed in Skegness

Construction of the new Tower Gardens Pavilion has been completed in Skegness, Lincolnshire, following a ten month building process that was carried out by the contractor company GF Tomlinson alongside Gleeds and Core Architects who provided assistance on the project.

Going into more detail, the Tower Gardens Pavilion will provide Skegness with mixed-used community facilities including a multi-purpose function room, event space, a changing places hygiene suite, council offices, and even a new café.

The Framework Construction Manager at GF Tomlinson, Craig Stopper stated: “We are thrilled that works on the Tower Gardens Pavilion are now complete, giving a once neglected space in the heart of Skegness a revival. Throughout the project, we have seen a positive response from the community who have played a huge part in bringing the site back to life. Now complete, we hope it will provide an enjoyable and inclusive space for both local residents and visitors to the seaside town.”

Organised by the Skegness Town Council, the construction of the new Tower Gardens Pavilion has cost a total sum of £1.6M and involved the demolition of the original pavilion, which was constructed in 1879, to include dance, party, and concert accommodation.

The Town Clerk, Steve Larner commented: “It is so exciting to actually have the building and know the Council’s plans are coming to life. For us though, it is where the hard work begins as we have to turn plans and visions into reality. This building is simply a fantastic resource for the community, with the café and hall looking amazing. Everyone here is thrilled to be taking this forward and can’t wait to get the building open later this year.”

The Scape Group Chief Executive, Mark Robinson added: “The way we use public spaces has significantly changed in the recent past. By replacing the derelict Tower Gardens Pavilion, Skegness Town Council is creating a community space that will meet the needs of many and bring investment to the local area. By procuring through the Scape framework the project was effectively delivered with speed, efficiency and socio-economics at its heart.”
