New Hospitality Lounge By The Sea

Whitby Town Football Club is seeking an alcohol licence for the new hospitality lounge at Towbar Express Stadium. A new match day sponsors and hospitality lounge could be created at the club if the plans are approved by North Yorkshire Council, with the club’s application seeing a variation of its premises licence in order to allow the addition of the hospitality lounge.

Documents submitted by the club state that “the proposed variations to the licensable activities are the addition of a match day sponsors’ [and] hospitality lounge” in addition to amendments to its current licence. The proposed amendments would state that “no glass drinking vessels will be allowed outside the clubhouse or hospitality suite” and that “no glass drinking vessels will be allowed on the balcony of the hospitality suite”. Public representations regarding the application are currently ongoing.

The club has got off to a reasonably good start to the 2023 24 campaign in the Northern Premier League, lying in seventh place just outside the play offs, with four wins from the first seven league games and a 6 0 thrashing of Goole in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup.
