A Darlington town centre pub has reopened after a refit worth thousands of pounds has given it a new lease of life.
The Darlington Flyer received the £133,000 refurbishment thanks to the generosity of its landlord, the Craft Union Pub Company.
From entertainment and community events to live sport, there the popular pub is now open to 2am every Friday and Saturday night with DJs playing party tunes.
The week kicks off at the Darlington Flyer with Monday afternoon’s Dominoes Knockout and ‘Monday Club’ full of games, with prizes to be won. Tuesday’s see the pub host their afternoon Bingo from 12pm before hosting guests for the pub’s Race Day on Thursday afternoons.
The Darlington Flyer is managed by Connor Foston, who brings a wealth of experience with him as he starts the next chapter of the pub’s history
Speaking on the refurbishment, he said: “It’s been great to reopen the doors with our new look and meet the regulars of this popular pub. Opening later on a Friday and Saturday has given the opportunity to provide guests with a chance to enjoy a proper night out with us, the atmosphere is great, and our DJs really do play to the crowd.”
With nine TV screens and a pull-down projector, guests can enjoy the biggest sporting action across BT and Sky Sports from all angles. Not only has the sports viewing experience been improved but the addition of a new pool table and illuminated darts area enables friends to take each other on in some healthy competition.
Connor added: “I’m really excited for the future of the Darlington Flyer, we have a great entertainment offering in the heart of the town. We’ve got some great plans for future events at the pub, so make sure to keep an eye out across our social media pages for updates.”
