The Skymaster pub in Gemini has officially reopened its doors, marking a significant milestone as it transforms into the area’s first Marston’s Woodie’s establishment. This comprehensive pub makeover introduces a vibrant, family-friendly venue designed to foster shared good times and cater to guests of all ages, promising a renewed community experience.
The extensive refurbishment has completely revitalized the interior, creating a welcoming atmosphere that combines modern comfort with traditional pub charm. Patrons will discover a thoughtfully redesigned bar area, alongside new, distinct dining zones perfectly suited for either a relaxed drink or a hearty meal. The addition of stylish new furniture and a cosy décor scheme aims to make every visitor feel genuinely at home.
A central feature of the Skymaster’s transformation is the innovative Woodie’s Den, a specially crafted magical woodland-themed area dedicated entirely to kids entertainment. This imaginative space invites young visitors to let their creativity soar through a variety of games, interactive activities, and bespoke special events, making it a true highlight for families.
Further enhancing the appeal for younger guests, Woodie’s Den will host regular scheduled community events. Every Friday evening, from 4 PM to 6 PM, the den comes alive with lively kids’ discos, providing a perfect start to the weekend. Additionally, creative craft sessions are set to take place every Saturday from midday to 2 PM, offering engaging activities for children.
The grand reopening of the Skymaster last week was met with enthusiastic community support, underscored by the presence of members from the esteemed Birchwood Community Band. They joined general managers David and Dawn Moore in a symbolic gesture, pouring the inaugural pint, signifying a new chapter for this cherished local establishment.
Beyond the engaging children’s facilities, the Skymaster continues to uphold its reputation for excellent dining, offering a diverse menu of beloved pub classics that cater to all tastes. A particularly exciting addition to the culinary experience is Woodie’s Sweet Factory, an innovative self-serve bar designed to delight children and adults alike.
At Woodie’s Sweet Factory, children are provided with special magic tokens, which they can eagerly exchange for an array of delicious treats. These treats are then used to customize their very own Woodie’s Sweet Factory sundae, transforming dessert into a fun and interactive adventure that adds to the family-friendly venue’s charm.
General Managers David and Dawn Moore expressed their profound excitement about the Skymaster’s rebirth and its reception. “We are so excited to be able to welcome all of our locals back to The Skymaster. In fact, lots of them have popped in already,” they shared, highlighting the immediate positive response from the community.
This extensive pub makeover ensures the Skymaster is not merely a place to eat and drink, but a dynamic hub for community life and family enjoyment. With its dedicated areas for both adults and children, the revitalized Woodie’s aims to solidify its position as a cornerstone for memorable shared experiences in Gemini.
