Blue Collar Corner is set to close for nine days for refurbishment.

The multi-coloured shipping container bar and food venue will return with new, later opening hours.

Customers won’t be able to get a pint and a bite to eat from September 26 to October 5, but they can look forward to a “huge” events programme and World Cup screens.

The greenery will be replaced by autumnal colours at the Hosier Street establishment.
