Popular Banbury park cafe announces closure
The manager of the People’s Park Cafe has announced that it has closed after two-and-a-half years of business.
The cafe, which first opened in the summer of 2022, announced its closure on social media on Saturday, (September 13).
Manager of the cafe, Karen Smith, posted: “Sorry to say from the People's Park Cafe, due to unforeseen circumstances, I've closed!!
“Thanks to all my lovely customers and friends I've made over the last two-and-a-half years for your ongoing support.”
Constructed from a disused Victorian brick building at the park’s Warwick Road entrance, the cafe served coffee, tea, sandwiches, cakes, and ice cream all year round.
It had both indoor and outdoor seating and also hosted community events, such as chess workshops, last summer.
People’s Park Cafe is owned by Banbury Town Council but has been previously leased to individuals to run.
The Banbury Guardian has approached the team at People’s Park Cafe for more details.
