The old Fives returns under the name The Palace with rooms on all three floors

The Levantana Lounge opens its doors on the second floor, described as an “exclusive club”.

While the top floor becomes Mille et Une Nuits, an event space and a hookah bar.

The venue opens on Saturday (November 16) and guests include Love Island’s Jamie Jewitt, Preston Mayor’s advisor Phil Crowe, boxer Natasha Jonas as well as members of the Bhailok and Rigby families.

The new rooms open from 1pm and entertainment includes an ‘outdoor DJ’, fireworks, live music and a belly dancer show at 9pm.

The building was previously owned by the late Simon Rigby and operated from 2017 to 2019 as a bar and nightclub.

It was put up for sale last year for almost £1 million.
