Part of a former Mansfield nightclub will be knocked down so two Wetherspoon venues can combine and create a large beer garden. Plans were approved last year to demolish the rear parts of the former QI nightclub, on Leeming Street, to make way for the combined facilities for the Stag and Pheasant and Widow Frost pubs.
Documents from the original application show the beer garden will have capacity for as many as 200 seats and would boast a heated and covered area. The two Wetherspoon venues would then be combined to form one single pub, with the beer garden accessed via an altered Stag and Pheasant.
Now developers behind the scheme have confirmed their plans for the part-demolition of the QI club, which closed more than a decade ago. About 830 square metres of QI, which sits behind the Stag and Pheasant, will be demolished, with the beer garden to form about 393 square metres of that land.
