Four new venues planned for Bridgwater

Work has begun on Northgate Yard, the £16m leisure regeneration project in Bridgwater town centre, led and funded by Sedgemoor District Council.

The 40,000 sqft scheme has already secured anchor tenants, WTW Scott Cinemas and Allstars Bowling, providing a 7-screen cinema, 8-lane bowling alley and sports bar.  

The development also features 12,000 sq ft of flexible restaurant space in four restaurant units with outdoor dining areas, available for local, regional and national food and drink brands.

The scheme will also feature outdoor meeting places and landscaping. The adjacent green space, Brewery Field, will be improved and updated to feature an outdoor children’s play area and parkland with a pond and landscaped planting.

"Northgate Yard is set to be a landmark destination for locals and tourists," says Cllr Duncan McGinty, leader of Sedgemoor District Council.

“One of the stand-out things about this project is the huge amount of community support. This is a much wanted and needed development and we’re delighted there is such an eagerness for this project to come to fruition, delivering a first-class leisure and entertainment hub for the area.” 

Northgate Yard, Bridgwater, Somerset is due for completion in October 2022. The contractor is Willmott Dixon.
