New Stratford-upon-Avon venue the Prospero Lounge in Bridge Street opens on Wednesday
A NEW drinking and dining venue opens in Stratford next week.
It’s hoped 25 jobs will be created in the town following the opening of Prospero Lounge in Bridge Street on Wednesday, 2nd November.
Occupying the site of the former Laura Ashley shop, Loungers plc, the West Country-based café/bar group, has transformed the location "into a retro-inspired retreat, with a nod to a glamorous bygone era.
"Heavily patterned wallpapers, tiling and stripped wooden floors will feature alongside oversized vintage sofas, upholstered lounge chairs, creating a variety of cosy and elegant drinking and dining areas to choose from."
A back bar mural has been commissioned depicting Prospero drawing a magic circle in the last scene of The Tempest.
Prospero Lounge will begin its community efforts by partnering with the Myton Hospice charity and will donate 50p from every burger and 20p from every coffee sold in its first month of trading.
