Bill's Bar on Oakham High Street was set to be reopening last night, Thursday 6 April 2023.

However, just hours before the event was set to take place, the team announced on social media that there had been delays with the flooring and that the venue would not be opening.

Instead, the doors to the new-look venue are set to open at 4pm today.

The venue will see a new dance floor installed, providing a much larger space to boogy. There will also be:

• 2 bars
• New sound and lighting
• Additional booth seating
• More TVs
• Drinks deals 7 days a week
• Return of open open mic
• More events, including big-name 

As promised, the venue will also be hosting a range of new events and acts, from a brand new Open Mic Night hosted by local musician and bass guitarist with Funked Up, Marcus Houghton, and live music acts.

The first of these acts is set to be Britain's Got Talent's Rory Jackson as Michael Jackson.

Rory Jackson will be perfoming at the end of the month. Image credit: Bill's Bar / Rory Jackson.

Rory Jackson will be performing on 29 April from 9pm and entry will be free.
