Summer 2023Local company commissioned to redesign town hall restaurant
The Clock Tower restaurant at Rochdale Town Hall will be redesigned by Middleton-based interior construction specialists, Dragonfly.
The existing café space has been remodelled as part of the wider town hall restoration project to include a second entrance, plus outdoor seating and terracing at the back.
Dragonfly won the pitch with their plans to create a botanical feel with a rich deep red and blue colour palette with elements of green, to mirror some of the beautiful colours found on the painted walls throughout the building.
A variety of seating will be introduced, including cosy soft seating, booths, banquettes and higher tables and chairs for shorter stay diners.
Tess McKenna, business development manager at Dragonfly, said working on the project is “a huge honour,” adding: “We’ll make sure that this important area lives up to the grandeur of the town hall.”
