Exciting News: Balcony Café Bar Refurbishment Coming Soon!
We’re thrilled to announce that the Balcony Café Bar will be getting a fresh new look this summer! It’s been 18 years since the last major refurbishment, so we’re excited to continue our tradition of enhancing the experience for our valued guests.
Set to begin towards the end of July, the refurbishment project will last approximately three weeks, during
which time the balcony café bar will be closed. But don’t worry – the wait will be well worth it!
What’s Changing?
This significant re-investment will breathe new life into the space, with major upgrades including:
All-new furniture
A complete redecoration
Fresh new carpets
Modern lighting
Our design brief was clear: create a contemporary, comfortable, and inviting environment that appeals to all our guests. The updated seating arrangements and ambiance are sure to provide a welcoming space for everyone to relax and enjoy – no matter your age or taste.
We’re confident that the new, trendier look will make the Balcony Café Bar the perfect spot to unwind and socialise, broadening its appeal and ensuring that everyone feels right at home.
Reinvesting in Your Experience
This refurbishment is part of our ongoing strategy to reinvest in the facilities that matter most to our members and guests. By enhancing the environment, we’re not only upgrading the space but also improving the overall experience for everyone who visits.
We can’t wait to share the new look with you. Stay tuned for more updates, and get ready for a stylish, modern, and even more welcoming Balcony Café Bar this summer!
See you soon at the new Balcony Café Bar!

Injury Prevention – Learning the right techniques and exercises to strengthen muscles and joints can reduce the risk of strains and sprains.
Pain Management – Whether it’s a persistent knee issue, a stiff back, or shoulder discomfort, physiotherapy offers non-invasive solutions to manage and reduce pain.
Recovery & Rehabilitation – If you’ve experienced an injury, proper rehabilitation is crucial to ensure a full recovery and prevent future setbacks.
Their team of experienced physiotherapists works with a wide range of clients, from athletes to individuals recovering from surgery, to help them move and feel better.
