New World unveils new concept

New World Trading Company has announced a new bar-restaurant concept called North Light.

New World Trading Company has announced a new bar-restaurant concept called North Light, which is due to open in Chester early next year.  

Taking inspiration from the city, North Light will replace The Florist, which New World was expected to open in the Coachworks Arcade site. Instead, a more modern, distinctive, Chester-centric venue with a creative edge will launch in its place. 

The new concept aims to support the local community by shining a light on up-and-coming artists and championing Chester’s history and unique creative scene. 

It will continually look to emerging regional artists to showcase their work throughout the venue, providing a platform for local talent and creating an ever-evolving look and feel for the site. 

The bar will offer live music performed by local musicians, as well as cocktails, modern dishes and small plates developed by in-house chefs. 

“Chester is home to a fantastic creative movement and some amazing, unique arts and leisure concepts," says Natasha Waterfield, chief operating officer at New World Trading Company. "Our aim with North Light is to support this forward-thinking sector and deeply connect with residents, offering a new and modern space where all are welcome. 

“Supporting the local community and the talented rising artists of the city is so important to us and we can’t wait to open our doors next year and be a part of the city’s exciting future.” 

New World operates 35 bars and restaurants across the country under eight brands, including The Botanist, The Florist, The Club House, The Oast House, The Canal House, The Trading House, The Smugglers Cove and The Furnace.
