A new Warwick wedding venue - which was given planning permission earlier this year - has taken its next step towards opening.

Warwick District Council has already given the green light to change the ground floor of Longbridge Manor from offices to a hospitality space.

Now the company behind the scheme, RHG Manor Ltd, has asked the council for a licence to sell alcohol and play live music.

If approved, the premises licence would cover the venue from 8am to midnight seven days a week.

Live music would be allowed indoors within that time and until 10pm outdoors.

Local residents have until October 30 to comment on the application.

The planning application was approved at the start of September and revealed the venue will cater for up to 110 guests at a time.

Four rooms at Longbridge Manor will be made available for weddings, one with up to 110 seats, and the other three ranging from 24 to 28 seats.

RHG said the venue would also host charity events and private functions.

The building had been on the market as offices for 18 months before the new plans were put forward.
