Players Entertainment set for grand opening

A new £3 million Coventry entertainment venue is set for a grand opening later this year after being delayed by covid-19.

Players Entertainment, a new concept for the region, has been created on the site of the former Pink Parrot nightclub in the city centre and will create up to 100 full- and part-time jobs.

The property was acquired by local entrepreneur Jeffy Li in 2019 but redevelopment and opening plans had to be put on hold.

The transformation of the venue is close to being completed and the first areas of the entertainment complex are open for bookings.

It has 20 private hire rooms and each room has its own unique décor as well as being equipped with up to 180-inch TVs, sound systems and karaoke machines.

General manager Jonathan Owusu said: "We are so happy to finally be able to welcome guests into our new private hire rooms.

"We've invested more than £3 million to create a venue that is new to Coventry and unique to the UK and, since we soft-launched a few weeks ago, the feedback has been phenomenal."
