The new The Observatory venue in Swansea that has been years in the making has finally opened to the public. Located right on Swansea Bay's beachfront, it features boutique holiday lets and a bar and restaurant where you can enjoy a cocktail while you watch the waves crash in and see the sun set over the glorious bay.
The Observatory opened last week, eight years after it was bought by businessman Noah Redfern - the man behind Noah's Yard in Uplands and Flickering Light in Wind Street. According to social media posts, The Observatory is "open roughly 25% of the finished product" and will gradually start to serve brunch before it later introduces evening meals.

Speaking about the project in 2019, Mr Redfern said the delays completing it had 'broken my heart in a way'. You can read more about that here. Back then, he was hopeful the business would be able to throw open its doors by the summer - three years later than originally planned.
