MUCH-LOVED MANOR BARN VENUE WILL OPERATE AGAIN

IT has been confirmed Manor Barn is back in business following a statement issued recently (March 24). The directors of Old Town Occasions Limited wrote: “It is with great pleasure we can announce that the venue known as Manor Barn will commence operating again for the enjoyment Bexhill residents and beyond.

“The venue, historically, was always available for hire for a modest fee. There will be a return to this ethos.

“As an example, if you wish to have a wedding celebration there, the hall is at your disposal plus the kitchen.

“This means you will be able to hire your own caterers and we should simply run the bar for you.

“We are sensitive to the current cost of living crisis and believe this return to basics will help those people who wish to celebrate in style at a beautiful location but at a budget they can control.

“The Manor Barn staff will be on hand to assist in any way you wish.

“Sincere apologies are due to everyone affected by the recent liquidation but unfortunately we, the new directors, are unable to soften what must have been disastrous news.

“When Manor Barn is ready to show herself off again there will be a celebratory opening to which we shall invite those whose parties were disrupted as a small gesture of goodwill.

“Currently we expect to be up and running by the end of April and we have recruited a new this will create for the town and its residents. I will work with the Home Office, and other organisations, to deliver the resources and safeguards which will be needed to reassure residents.

I will share further information about the proposals for Northeye as soon as it is made
