What we're planning & why
Refurbishment details
This full internal and external transformation, supported by an investment of around £291,000, will reposition the Woolpack as a contemporary Irish circuit bar with a high-impact sports and entertainment offer.
The project will refresh the exterior and signage, renew the interior, create a dedicated entertainment and sports zone, improve the outside trading space and update the private accommodation.
What's happening?
The pub will be redesigned around a new-generation Irish theme, creating a distinctive environment that stands apart within Brigg's competitive circuit. New signage and a full interior refresh will introduce a clear identity and a stronger customer experience from arrival.
A newly created stage will support regular live entertainment, while an upgraded sports area will provide a high-quality setting for key fixtures. Together, these elements will create more reasons to visit, encourage longer dwell times and establish the Woolpack as both a destination and an essential stop on the town's circuit.
The drinks offer will focus on HEINEKEN UK brands alongside Guinness and Murphy's, supported by a coffee offer. The operator will have scope to shape the wider entertainment programme and maximise the pub's evening, weekend and event-led trade.
Why invest?
The transformation will give the Woolpack a strong and clearly differentiated identity in Brigg, combining the atmosphere of an Irish bar with high-quality sport and live entertainment. The refreshed offer is anticipated to rebuild local appeal, grow destination visits and support annual turnover of around £400,000.
