Thorne-Moorends Town Council invites suitably experienced operators to tender for the licence/lease to operate the bar facilities at Moorends Pavilion. The Pavilion serves local sports teams, community groups, and private events. The bar is a key facility within the venue and must be operated professionally, responsibly, and in a manner that supports the wider community. The pavilion is a new state-of-the-art facility currently in construction, designed to serve sports teams, community groups, and private events. The venue will feature an events space, modern kitchen, bar, and sports facilities, providing an excellent opportunity for a professional operator to manage a high-quality bar service at the heart of the community. The Pavilion is located at Moorends Recreational Ground, home to local sports teams. The site also features a large outdoor playpark, extensive green space, and hosts the annual Moorends Gala and Fireworks events.
