THE new-look Regency Bar in Accrington town centre opens its doors to the public this week.

The Church Street pub has undergone a total face-lift under the guidance of landlord and landlady Nick and Vicki Pennington.

The Regency has been given a new colour scheme and comfortable furnishings.

These are complemented by a new evening menu of traditional food, an 'eastern selection' of Chinese and Indian food and an afternoon menu of snacks, coffees and muffins.

This is on top of the installation of six TV screens for a video jukebox and live football.

And live music for the opening night will come courtesy of local band 'The Itch' playing at 8pm on Thursday -- a slot which will be open to promote new bands.
