A LARGER beer garden will officially open at a pub in Shaw this week – just in time for England appearing in the final of Euro 2024.
The Shay Wake – which first opened in December 2011 – will unveil the new space at the rear of the premises on Friday, July 12.
Once occupied by a public car park, the space has been developed to create the new garden as part of a £300,000 project.
It’s in addition to the existing smaller garden at the Wetherspoon pub on Milnrow Road and will have ramp access to the different garden levels.
The additional garden will be able to accommodate an extra 166 seated customers, at free-standing dining tables and chairs, as well as high-topped tables and stools.
The paved garden includes a pergola, as well as climbing plants, flowers and shrubs, potted trees, festoon lighting and wall murals.
Pub manager Hollie Parry-Jones said: “We are thrilled with our brand-new, larger garden, which is a great addition to the pub and will provide a lovely outdoor space for our customers to enjoy.”
The garden is open from 8am until 8pm every day.
