Construction works are now well underway for the £6.5m rebuild of the Osborne View which will replace its namesake which was destroyed in a fire.

Construction have been on site in Hill Head for the past few weeks to begin the construction work, with owners by Hall & Woodhouse ploughing ahead with their plans to create a replacement four storey venue with staff accommodation.

The Osborne View was destroyed in a fare caused by a tumble dryer in February 2024, leaving the local community devastated. (See the aftermath in the video embedded in this story)

It is expected that the replacement venue will open in Autumn 2026.
