The Gig House in Wokingham.

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

More details have emerged about a new independent business that is set to open in Wokingham town centre at the end of this month.

DEN 42, a brand-new social hub, is set to open its doors on August 31 at The Plaza on Denmark Street, in the premises that was previously home to The Gig House.

The venue is promising a unique and vibrant experience for the community, and is set to offer a blend of entertainment, food, and drink that, according to the owners, will be unlike anything Wokingham has seen before.

DEN 42 is an independently owned venue that is set to bring together interactive games, classic and craft beers, and delicious food in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

With four shuffleboards, four interactive dart systems, and an array of free-to-use board games, DEN 42 is designed to be spot for fun and relaxation.

In a statement, the business said: “Our mission is to utilise Wokingham’s largest pub venue to create a social hub where community members can enjoy interactive games, fantastic food and drinks, live music, and a variety of events.

“We are committed to supporting and collaborating with independent suppliers, musicians, artists, and local businesses.”

Its brand values include supporting local, creating a welcoming environment, creating a fresh and modern atmosphere that redefines previous perceptions of the unit, and having fun.

Its partners for the launch include Siren Craft Brew and SoBe Burger.

The launch event is set for August 31, from 12 noon.

The first 42 customers will receive a free burger from SoBe Burger, a complimentary pint of Siren Craft Brew (or a soft drink for those under-18), and a game voucher for shuffleboard or interactive darts – redeemable after the launch event so everyone has an equal opportunity to play on the day.

For more information, follow DEN 42 on social media at:

• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/den42wokingham/

• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/den42wokingham/

A website will be available shortly before the launch event.
