This is why every Lounge and Cosy Club in Britain is closed today

Every single Lounge café bar in Britain is closed today - because the staff are holding their own festival.

Loungefest is paid for by the bosses of the Bristol-based chain, and means that all the Lounges and Cosy Clubs across the country are closed for at least one day to allow staff to let their hair down.

Pictures tweeted by the company show a large-scale festival scene with a big wheel, music stages and food stalls.

Loungers, the company which runs all the Lounges and Cosy Clubs in Britain, employs more than 2,500 people, and is expanding the number of Lounge café-bars rapidly in the years since Covid.

Every Lounge is closed today, Monday, June 19, and will reopen tomorrow, Tuesday, but Cosy Clubs and some Lounges in areas further afield from the Bristol area will reopen later. The Cosy Club in Liverpool, for instance, won’t reopen until Thursday, June 22 at noon.
