To let signs have gone up at an Ashford town centre unit previously used by a retro-themed bar after it announced it is relocating.

Rewind Bar, which opened in New Street in July 2020, filled the former Auction House site after a massive redesign.

But earlier this month bosses announced the bar would be closing while staff prepare to move the 70s, 80s, and 90s-themed decor to a new location which is yet to be revealed.

In a statement on Facebook, it said: "Rewind Bar is relocating.

"We are moving, but don't worry we are staying in Ashford.

"We will be taking the decor, the staff and most importantly the dance floor with us.

"Watch this space for clues to our new location.

"Thank you for all the love and I do hope you’ll continue to support us."

An 80s-themed launch party is planned for when the new bar is ready, with bosses planning to open the site in August.

The club's former New Street home next to Wells Clinic and Super Pizza has a history as a drinking establishment.

Before Rewind Bar, Auction House which had its licence revoked in 2017 after a series of glass attacks, with the venture reopening in May 2018 following renovation work.

The bar was then rebranded as Lot 7, but closed within a year.

This was followed by another hopeful, who restored the name Auction House and heavily renovated and refurbished the building and garden, but the site later closed.

The lease is now available for £25,000 a year with chartered surveyors Stafford Perkins.
