Shakespeare Hall, Fort Road, Newhaven BN9 9DL

Ground Floor Café, Hall & Patio with Fully Fitted Extraction - 474 sq ft (44.04 sqm)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced person/team  to lease the generously sized Café and Community Space at Shakespeare Hall in Newhaven’s Fort Road Recreation Ground.

This newly refurbished, light-filled venue comprises indoor and outdoor seating areas (68 covers in total), newly fitted Kitchen area and a separate 95 sqm indoor Function Space that has the possibility to be used for Café catered events such as parties, weddings and screenings, as well as rented out to interested Community Groups and class facilitators such as Yoga, Pilates and Dance.

The Café overlooks the open fields and trees of the Recreation Ground, with Newhaven Football Club just beyond.  The wooded land rises behind the building, giving the area a sense of being nestled in nature - great for dog walkers and outdoor enthusiasts.  

The new Café Tenants will manage the running and bookings for the Function Hall.

The Space will be provided as ‘shell and core’ condition. Internal wall and floor finishes have been completed, but a Kitchen/Serving Bar will be required to be fitted, along with any other Tenant fit-out requirements, and these will be for the Incoming Tenant to arrange & fund.

 Café Seating = 68 Covers in total comprising:

30 Indoor Covers

32 Outdoor Covers (West Terrace)

6 Outdoor Covers (North Terrace)

 There are three Toilets on the Ground Floor, one of which is a Disabled/Baby Change Toilet (two have not been finished and will be locked).

 Lewes District Council are inviting offers of a Letting for the Café and the Community Space combined.
