Reno update 🔨
The old barn is in its final week of coming down (swipe to the end). It’s been a tricky job but the team have been grafting to get it done before the winter weather sets in. Groundworks kick off next week, then the new steel frame goes up at the start of November.
Before any demo started, the wildlife came first. We worked with specialists to carefully take down and store the house martin and sparrow nests, mapping out their exact spots so they can go straight back up in time for spring. The swift and bat boxes are all cleaned and ready for the new roof too - hoping they’ll be happy with their fancy new home.
Inside the barn space, lighting is locked in and we’ve spec’d a proper sound system for future events. We’re also working on a hire package for private events, so stay tuned…
Over in the facilities, refurbs are well underway. Shower layouts and tile choices are sorted, and we’re adding in some proper comforts for next season: underfloor heating, beautiful units, hair straighteners and dryers, a brighter reception space, and a brand new family bathroom.
Things are moving fast. We’ll share some more once the steel frame starts going up.
