Significant Expansion for Alnwick
Emporium Leisure Group has announced the acquisition of their first venue in Newcastle Upon Tyne, a move that is set to revitalize the area and enhance local entertainment options. This development comes nearly two decades after the closure of the popular bar Pravda, which was part of a vibrant nightlife scene in the early 2000s.
The new venue will undergo a significant revamp, incorporating modern features such as a high-speed Internet connection tailored for esports enthusiasts. This focus on technology is expected to attract a younger demographic and cater to the growing esports community.
In addition to the tech upgrades, Emporium Leisure Group plans to include a full catering kitchen and an event space within the venue. The planned operating hours will run from 8 am to 11 pm, providing ample opportunity for both daytime and evening events.
To ensure smooth operations, the group will partner with an IT support provider to offer on-site technical assistance. This strategic move highlights the importance of technology in modern leisure venues.
Beyond this Newcastle location, Emporium Leisure Group has plans for further venues in Alnwick and Morpeth, indicating a broader strategy to expand their footprint in the region.
