Kenilworth's Lounge restaurant will temporarily close next week for a major staff celebration.

LoungeFest, the "most talked about staff party in hospitality", which began in 2013, is Loungers' annual celebration to thank over 9,000 staff for their year-round hard work and dedication.

The event will see Fossato Lounge at Abbey End, as well as other sites across the UK shut for the day on Monday 9 June.

Guy Youll, Loungers' Chief People Officer said: "Back in 2013, Loungers was one of the first in the hospitality industry to host a party like this and I'm delighted we've kept close to our roots by continuing every year getting bigger and better.

"Our teams work incredibly hard all year round so LoungeFest is our way of celebrating them and showing how much we appreciate the dedication and care they put in every day at all our sites to deliver great hospitality. It's going to be quite a party!"

This year's LoungeFest, being held at Ragley Hall in Warwickshire, has an 'At the Movies' theme where team members will be able to enjoy fairground rides, DJ sets, music stages hosting performances from bands and Loungers' staff, games, activities and a huge array of food and drink stalls…all completely free.

All Lounges will reopen on Tuesday 10 June 2025 as usual.

Fossato Lounge opened in Kenilworth last summer after months of work converting the former Shakespeare's Hospice shop into a restaurant.
