The Horn & Trumpet in Worcester to undergo a £292,700 transformation
Worcester's Horn & Trumpet is the next local Marston’s pub to undergo a major transformation, closing temporarily on January 19 as it prepares to relaunch on February 11 under the new sports concept, Grandstand, with market-leading big screen technology, menus, and events
This transformation represents a significant investment of over £292,700.
The much-loved community pub will be transformed with new features designed to deliver a stadium-style experience on every visit. The refurbishment will include the installation of market-leading technology, such as new 3-metre-long and 1.8-metre-tall screens, state-of-the-art sound systems, and flexible tiered seating to guarantee a great view of the action.
A refurbished outdoor area with TV screens will also be added, and locals will be able to order through the all-new Marston’s ‘Order & Pay’ app to ensure they never miss a minute.
The Horn & Trumpet will also be decorated with local sports memorabilia and is calling on the community to share photographs and items to help celebrate the achievements of local sports stars and teams, past and present.
Pub partner, Donna Bird, said: “We’re so excited to show off the new and improved pub! With a calendar of sports up ahead, the Horn & Trumpet will be the perfect destination to get involved in big event atmosphere and soak up the action, especially thanks to some amazing new technology, food and drink offers and events.”
Once reopened, the pub will show all key sporting fixtures, including football, rugby, cricket, tennis, F1, darts, horse racing, and more. Regulation dart boards and pool tables will return, alongside new competition leagues and free-to-play recreational sessions.
Local sports teams will be able to apply for a ‘Black Card’, giving them access to exclusive offers and rewards for celebrating wins at their local.
The Grandstand concept follows industry research* revealing that 8.5M consumers have watched sports games at the pub, with 86% of fans preferring sports pubs for their atmosphere, better screens and sound, and the chance to connect with friends and family.
Marston’s has selected the Horn & Trumpet for the Grandstand transformation due to its involvement with local sports teams, community groups, and charities. The refurbishment will create an exciting new proposition for local sports fans from Worcester and beyond.
