After 9 months of renovation, the inside of The Anstice is completely unrecognisable and is shaping up beautifully. It all looks so smart and bright! Long gone are the dark tobacco stained walls and ceilings and the grubby carpets, instead, the archways have been opened up and the tiled floors uncovered, with sleek bifold doors and generous lighting; its going to be stunning!
The café kitchen is due to be installed over the next few weeks and new lighting will replace the previously non- existent stage lighting for the ballroom. The bar is nearly complete and all the walls are plastered ready for their final coat of paint.
Our new Food and Beverage Manager has been appointed and he starts in earnest on January 6th. He has a wealth of experience and is really excited about getting stuck in and joining the team. We are delighted to have him on board.
We are so excited to be able to finally welcome our community back into the building and are hoping that our Grand Opening Community day will be a huge success on the 15th Feb. If you haven’t booked a place at the evening event, get in touch with Gemma and let her know how many places you want. Its all free of charge and will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the hard work and support that you have all given over the last few years.
From all of the staff, trustees and volunteers at The Anstice we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
