Calling all locals!!!
Thornton Cleveleys Gala really helped me getting Drink Outside the Box out there when it first started. They need to raise funds to continue the tradition. Sometimes it is not realised that non profit organisations need a bit of help. So If you take your kids, your nieces or nephews, even your dog to the gala, you can donate by following this link.

Building on the success of last-year's first two-day event, Thornton-Cleveleys Gala would once again like to hold a music festival to showcase local talent, in advance of Gala Day.

Proud to announce that we are the new owners of Albatross Bar & Food in Thornton! The continuation of the charisma and spirit of Albatross will always be prioritised and we want the legacy to carry on as it deserves! From 3pm on the 14th August, come and see us and bring good vibes! Can’t wait to see you all!

🖤A bittersweet announcement from your Albatross family🖤

After 5 wonderful years of laughter, memories, and unforgettable nights, our family has decided it’s the right time to embark on new chapters in our life and pass the Albatross torch on. It's been an incredible journey and our absolute pleasure to serve each and every one of you that have walked through our doors over the years.

From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thank all of you enough for allowing us to turn our dream into a reality. We are so grateful for the heart and soul you have all poured into Albatross, allowing it to become the place it is today. A place we’ve been so lucky to call our second home. When we first opened our doors, many of you walked in as strangers. Today, we proudly say you leave as our friends.

As we step down, we are excited to announce that Albatross will be in capable hands of a new local family who look at continuing the traditions & values that have made the business a beloved part of this community.

We invite you all to join us this Sunday 11th August for a farewell celebration, as a sign of our gratitude for your support. We look forward to sharing this very special moment with you all & raising a glass to the future of Albatross along with its new owners🥂

Huge love from Gary, Joanne & Leon🥹
