Bees Café, 30s evening, swishing and more
The Bees Café
"The Bees Café", our venture in partership with Brentford Football Club and The Bridge to bring a Brentford FC -themed sports café to Brentford High Street is now entering its second month. If you hadn't heard already, the launch event was well attended at the beginning of March and the café is now open from 9am until 7pm every Thursday.
If you haven't yet come along to experience Brentford FC outside of a matchday, why on earth not??
