The Drake pub in Bransholme, Hull has reopened following a renovation. The revamp of the pub, located on Bodmin Road, cost almost £300,000 ($407,016).

'On behalf of myself and the Proper Pubs team, we wish Mike all the best with his future plans.' The interior now features new furniture, flooring and fixtures, including multiple flat-screen televisions. The layout has been enhanced with an updated main bar area and two additional bars: one in the lounge equipped with a karaoke machine, and another in the sports room that features a new pool table and darts area. On the outside, the Drake has received new lighting and signage. The venue also offers a large, wheelchair-accessible beer garden that can seat at least 60 guests, Operator Mike Lincoln said: 'I'm delighted to have taken over the Drake and it's great to see the fantastic results of the refurbishment. "The pub looks amazing, and the opening night was a huge success with lots of great feedback and satisfied customers.

Chelsea Flower Show garden opens on Hull estate
An award-winning garden from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show will officially open at its new home in Hull later. The Songbird Survival Garden has been relocated to the Alf Marshall Community Centre on Goodhart Road, Bransholme after winning a silver gilt medal at the prestigious show. Almost two years on since the initial bid for the garden, it is hoped the space can become a place of peace and tranquillity for the local community. Lucy Carew and Sarah Weichardt, joint chief executives of The Neighbourhood Network charity, said it was a "dream come true" to see the garden come to life. "We can't quite believe it if we're honest," said Ms Weichardt. "It is such a beautiful space. We come into the garden and we look at it and we're like, oh my god, this is just amazing. "There's nothing like this around here and we're just really excited to open the gates to the community." The garden is part of a wider project at the site to overhaul the existing outdoor space for the local community, previously described by Ms Carew as a "concrete jungle". After appearing at the show in May, the garden was relocated plant-by-plant to Hull where it was reassembled in a space more than double what it had at Chelsea. Designer Nicola Oakey hoped to highlight the plight of the UK songbird and help return the most at risk birds back into our gardens. The garden was inspired by the movement and perspective of a bird, featuring paths winding though layers of bird-friendly plants, which are aimed at helping them feed, shelter and nest. There is a pond to provide water for bathing. The garden will host a further community day on Tuesday 22 June between 13:00 and 15:00 BST so local residents can "see what all the fuss is about", Ms Carew said. "We've been busy planting and building things within the garden, but now we want to open the gates and let everyone enjoy it and get involved. "We're looking for people to make this garden their own as well, to help plan and grow things and be a part of the story."
