It’s all change at Escape To Freight Island, the former railway depot turned outdoor urban beer garden and food hall. A host of new food operators have been announced for the venue’s Spring season.
The long-talked about rollerskating rink will also be unveiled, along with an all-day free series of Sunday festival events taking place all the way through to the end of summer.
Ramsbottom’s basque-inspired eatery Baratxuri, which has been there since the venue launched in 2020, will be departing to be replaced by Carnival, a new grill concept from chef Richard Turner. Turner has been behind the scenes at the likes of Hawksmoor and famed barbecue spot Pitt Cue, and was trained by the likes of the Roux brothers, Pierre Koffmann and Marco Pierre White.
