THE new-look Skymaster pub at Apollo Park, Westbrook, Warrington, has opened its doors after extensive refurbishment, transforming the local into new family friendly concept, “Woodie’s’.”
The Skymaster now features a woodland-themed den, outdoor play area and a self-serve sweet factory for the kids, alongside pub classics and a relaxed environment for adults to enjoy. It has become the first Marston’s pub to reopen as a “Woodie’s”, with a new family-focused offer to provide shared good times for all the family.
An exciting refurbishment has seen the much-loved community pub transformed with a new bar and designated dining areas for locals and new guests to enjoy a relaxed drink or meal, as well as new furniture and cosy décor, to make customers feel at home.
The community pub now features Woodie’s Den, a magical woodland-themed area where kids will be able to let their imaginations run wild, with games, activities and special events. Kid’s discos will be held in Woodie’s Den every Friday night from 4-6pm, with craft sessions also taking place every Saturday from 12-2pm.
When the sun is shining, children can explore the garden and let loose in the outdoor play area, while their parents relax nearby with a meal or drink in hand.
The Skymaster reopened its doors last week, with members of the Birchwood Community Band joining General Managers David and Dawn Moore in pouring the first pint. The Birchwood Community Band was chosen as The Skymaster’s Community Hero and marked the opening with a special performance outside the front door, followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony.
To ensure that locals could feel part of the fabric of Woodie’s from the outset, The Skymaster offered local guests a ‘Pint For Your Past’ – giving away free pints in exchange for local stories and memories of The Skymaster, which featured on a memory wall over the opening weekend.
Alongside a menu of pub classics, The Skymaster will serve Marston’s award-winning kids’ menu is home to the fantastical Woodie’s Sweet Factory, a self-serve bar where kids can swap magic tokens for treats to top their Woodie’s Sweet Factory Sundae. The Skymaster is also offering a ‘Kids Eat for £1’ deal on Monday-Friday throughout the summer holidays, with kids also able to eat for free every Wednesday, giving families affordable options for enjoying a meal out during the school holidays.
David and Dawn Moore, General Managers at The Skymaster, said: “We’re so excited to be able to welcome all of our locals back to The Skymaster, in fact lots of them have popped in already! It was fantastic to have the Birchwood Community Band here last week and the celebrations continued over the weekend. We want to encourage as many people to come and see what we’ve done to the place as possible, the more the merrier!”
