A range of exciting restaurants, bars and leisure brands will be opening at Drake Circus Leisure, the new leisure and entertainment development located in Plymouth city centre.
Four food and beverage brands and one leisure operator have committed to a combined 32,000 sq ft of space in the new development, which will open in the Autumn. Located adjacent to British Land’s Drake Circus, the scheme will complement the shopping centre, creating another vibrant destination for Plymouth. The leisure complex will be anchored by a 41,000 sq ft, 12-screen Cineworld cinema, together with a state of the art IMAX screen, the first to open in the south west.
New restaurants and bars arriving at the centre include: Five Guys, Nando’s, Cosy Club, Zizzi. However it’s not all eating establishments, There’s also time for a spot of golf, in the form of Paradise Island Adventure Golf, which are set to open a 15,000 sq ft indoor adventure golf centre, its first in the south west of England. These lettings bring the total space let to 68%.
“The commitment of five prominent brands is a reflection both of the strength of Drake Circus’ appeal as a shopping and leisure destination and the success of our long-term asset management plan. Over recent years we have brought an exciting mix of new brands to the scheme and the additional investment we are making into a dedicated leisure and entertainment centre, will not only broaden the centre’s appeal but improve the experience for our customers. We’re pleased with the construction progress and look forward to delivering one of the only leisure developments this year in the UK at Drake Circus.” – Ben Grose, Head of National Leasing, British Land
