A BAR is celebrating its official launch with a Trafalgar themed party.

The Trafalgar, in upper Dovercourt, is celebrating its opening later this month.

The bar opened for business about six weeks ago, but with refurbishing work going on inside, the grand opening has been set for Saturday, October 19.

On the night, there will be a disco beginning at 6pm, followed by live cabaret music from 8pm. The official launch party will run until 1am.

For the opening event, there will be special deals on drinks and shots, as well as their very own HMS Victory cocktails.

A spokesman for the bar, said: “We will be raising money for the RNLI.

“There will be donation buckets, a raffle taking place on the night and much more, so please dig deep in those pockets and help us support a hugely worthwhile cause.

“We’ve been working hard to refurbish the Trafalgar as part of our ongoing rejuvenation plans, and we cant wait to share this with you.

“Our celebration has been timed to coincide with the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and we intend to make it an annual event, so make sure you mark it on those calendars for next year.”
