The team behind the recently closed Newport music venue Le Pub have announced where their new music and arts venture will be based.

Le Public Space will be housed at 14 High Street, Newport, in the former Page pub.

The team of volunteers are hosting a private event at the new site next week for invited guests for a first look inside the space and to find out more about the plans for the site.

It is expected that Le Public Space will be officially opened about six weeks later.

Le Pub, hailed as an iconic Newport music venue, was based at Caxton Place in the city centre for almost 25 years. It closed last month and the building has been sold.

A previous Facebook statement said: "Le Pub is an ethos, a mindset, something that doesn't rely on a building to exist.

“We love our current location and the news it was to be sold was heartbreaking but we've had time to process it and we realised that we can take what we have and grow.”

Plans are outlined for developing a bigger space in High Street with more room for creative projects, a gallery, rehearsal rooms, office space and a small cinema space.
