Wycombe’s oldest building and much-loved cocktail bar Feel Lounge UK faces 'unanticipated challenges', appealing for help from the local community.
As things stand, due to the local statutory bodies’ unforeseen building regulation requirements, this historic venue must raise £15,000 by Sunday, October 15, to remain fully operational.
Wayne Spittles, the owner of the business, launched a fundraising campaign pleading for the public's help.'
He wrote: "Until we pay the additional £15,000 for the building regulations work we are heavily restricted in how we can use the building for the public and this is painfully damaging the prosperity of the business and our sales due to very limited capacity. We need your help.
