The Innings in Worksop is the next Marston’s pub to undergo a major transformation, and is closing temporarily as it prepares to relaunch on October 21 under the new sports concept, Grandstand.

The transformation of the Innings to a ‘Grandstand’ sports pub represents a significant investment of £300,000.

This community pub’s refurbishment will include the installation of market-leading technology, including multiple massive screens, an immersive state-of-the-art sound system, and flexible tiered seating.

The beer garden will also have new TV screens installed, and locals will be able to order through the Marston’s ‘Order & Pay’ app to ensure they don’t miss any action.

To be decorated with local sports memorabilia, The Innings team is asking the community to share photographs and items to help celebrate the achievements of local sports stars and teams, past and present.

Pub partner, Mark Grafton, said: “We’re so excited to show off the new and improved pub! With a calendar of sports up ahead, Innings will be the perfect destination to get involved in a big event atmosphere and soak up the action, especially thanks to amazing new technology, food and drink offers and events.”

Once it has reopened, the pub will show all key sporting fixtures, including football, rugby, cricket, tennis, F1, darts, horse racing, and more.

Regulation dartboards and pool tables will return alongside new competition leagues and free-to-play recreational sessions.

How customers can expect the venue to look once it reopens.

A new range of bar food will be perfect for half-time and larger groups.

The ‘Match Day Menu’ will feature hand-held bites such as chicken wings, nachos and burgers. The Innings has also refreshed its range of drinks, with all draught beers available in two-pint cups.

Local sports teams will be able to apply for a ‘Black Card’, giving them access to exclusive offers, endless fries on team nights and rewards for celebrating wins at their local.

Industry research reveals that 8.5 million consumers have watched live sport in pubs, with 86 per cent of fans preferring sports pubs for their atmosphere, better screens and sound, and the chance to connect with friends and family.

Marston’s has selected the Innings for the Grandstand transformation due to its strong involvement with local sports teams, community groups and charities.
