Big event atmosphere set to arrive at the Bulls Head in King’s Norton as pub temporarily closes for exciting refurbishment.
The popular public house closed its doors on 28th of September to allow for an exciting refurbishment before reopening as a ‘Grandstand’ sports pub. The relaunch will be on the 21st of October.
This transformation represents a significant investment of £300,000.
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, including multiple massive screens, an immersive state-of-the-art sound system, and flexible tiered seating to guarantee a great view of the action.
The beer garden will also be refurbished, with new TV screens installed, and locals will be able to order through the Marston’s ‘Order & Pay’ app to ensure they never miss a minute of the action.
The Bulls Head 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, Katie Charalambous, said: “We are so excited about the plans to re-open as a Grandstand pub. We know our locals are sporting mad and can’t wait to be able to offer them the best possible experience when they can visit us again”
Located in King’s Norton, Birmingham, the Bulls Head is a community pub, perfectly positioned for locals and families to relax with a drink, catch the latest sports fixture, or refuel with some food, after taking a stroll around the nearby King’s Norton park or the Merecroft Pool nature reserve.
Once reopened, the pub will show all key sporting fixtures, including football, rugby, cricket, tennis, F1, darts, horse racing, and more. Regulation dartboards and pool tables will return alongside new competition leagues and free-to-play recreational sessions.
A new range of bar food will be introduced, perfect for half-time and larger groups. The ‘Match Day Menu’ will feature hand-held bites such as chicken wings and nachos, and pub favourites including fish & chips, grills, and burgers. The Bulls Head has also refreshed its range of drinks, with all draught beers available in 2-pint cups.
Local sports teams will be able to apply for a ‘Black Card’, giving them access to exclusive offers, endless chips on team nights and rewards for celebrating wins at their local.
The Grandstand concept follows industry research* revealing that 8.5 million consumers have watched live sport in pubs, 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 Bulls Head for the Grandstand transformation due to its strong involvement with local sports teams, community groups and charities. The refurbishment will create an exciting new proposition for sports fans from Birmingham and beyond.
The Bulls Head closes on 28th September and will reopen on 21st October with a brand-new look.
