Work has begun on transforming Weston s Seaquarium to a family-themed restaurant with an on-site mini-golf complex.
The building has been disused since March 2019 until AGM Holdings, owners of the Grand Pier, purchased the site in a £1.5million deal in December 2020 with plans to create a special concept eatery.

The site s latest owners have now confirmed that it will feature a café, bakery and retro-themed mini-golf complex which will create 80 full-time jobs in the area.
Alex Michael of AGM said: “I am delighted to see work beginning at the site and excited about the progress that has been made already.

In 2021 all eyes will be on Bristol Airport’s expansion plans as the decision gets taken out of local hands.
One campaigner said councillors had sent a clear democratic message that the expansion should not go ahead.
Bristol Airport chief executive Dave Lees said the refusal risked putting the brakes on the future growth of the region when other areas are forging ahead.
A spokesperson for the airport said: “As the UK emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic it is essential that all regions of the country are given the opportunity to grow to their full potential and contribute to the national recovery effort.
“International trade and connectivity will become increasingly important as the UK completes its departure from the European Union – increasing aviation capacity is essential in delivering this goal.”
