New furniture has been installed, including sofas and padded high chairs, while digital coffee menus have replaced the previous cardboard displays.

The toilets have also been refurbished, including improvements to the accessible facilities, while new graphics and fixtures have been installed throughout.

An outdoor seating area has also been added for customers.

To mark the reopening, Pret will hand out cards inviting customers to return for a free sweet treat.

More giveaways will follow on Saturday, November 7, when 100 tote bags containing a reusable cup, a voucher for a free coffee and other treats will be available.

A 'Spin to Win' wheel will also give customers the chance to pick up free bakery items, drinks and other prizes.

A spokesperson for Festival Place said: “Pret has been a popular destination at Festival Place, so it's great to see the shop unveiling a fresh new look for customers.

“The refurbishment has made a real difference, particularly the brighter interior, more comfortable seating and improved layout.

“It's another example of an established retailer investing in its future at Festival Place, and we're sure customers will enjoy the changes.

"The reopening celebrations should also provide a nice opportunity for regular visitors and anyone discovering the new-look café for the first time.”
