LEDBURY'S Grind Bar is expanding its opening hours, offering theme evenings and hoping to encourage older people into the cafe at the same time.

Natalie Hoon, bar manager, said the new evening open hours are aimed at people aged between 15 and 24.

The bar will open between 4pm and 9pm from Monday, June 5, but after 7pm it will only be open to young people aged 15 or over.

On Mondays nights, there will be free Internet access, while Tuesday night will be quiz night, with teams of four paying £4 to enter and the winning team collecting all the entrance fees.

On Wednesday night, all the regular facilities will be open, Thursday night will be a club night and on Saturday's the cafe will be open all day from 11.30am to 4pm.

Miss Hoon said older children are becoming more interested in coming to the cafe.

"I think the free Internet access will help but the caf is just a good place for young people to meet, have a drink and chill out in a relaxed atmosphere," she said.
