The busy cafe at Curraghs Wildlife Park is set for a re-brand ahead of a re-opening next month.

The venue is to be renamed The Mangrove Cafe and following a makeover is expected to throw open its doors from Saturday, February 1.

It'll be run by Tim and Rachel of the Sunset Lakes Cafe in Peel, with the park welcoming what it calls a 'New year and a new approach'.

Back in November, the Department of Infrastructure invited expressions of interest for parties which would be interested in running the premises which welcomed around 49,500 visitors in 2019.
