New cafe/bar group to open in Skipton this week

Tuesday, 13 May 2025 10:49

Ovino Lounge has transformed the former Barclays Bank.

The West Country based cafe/bar group will open their Ovino Lounge in Skipton on Wednesday 14th May.

Ovino Lounge will be open all day, every day for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and drinks.

The lounge will be located in the former Barclays Bank on Skipton High Street in their unmistakable and unique style.

It will feature a selection of games, books, colouring pencils, and pads on offer.

Ovino Lounge will welcome locals looking for a space for regular catch-ups, meetings and events – everything from business networking, book or knitting clubs to parent and baby meets and life drawing classes.

John English, Head of Community, The Lounges, says:

“We’re so looking forward to opening the doors of Ovino Lounge next week.

"We hope our family friendly environment and top-notch food and drink offering will prove popular with local residents.

“We’re passionate about integrating genuinely into the communities we serve so we’re looking forward to meeting everyone and to playing our part at the heart of Skipton’s food and drink scene.

Anyone looking for a space to host events or groups should pop in once we are open, we’d love to hear from them and see what we can do to help.”
