Commencing in 2013, Walkabout embarked on a refurbishment programme across the estate, with the following sites being refurbished; Derby, Bristol, Brighton, Lincoln, Blackpool, Sheffield and Newquay. They have moved away from the 1990s ‘outback’ style fit out and closer to a modern venue.

Identity

Walkabout is home of the party on the high-street, offering great seats for sporting events, a great range of Australian food and drink and live music events. With a strong Australian heritage, this influences all that Walkabout does. This can be seen in the stripped back, outback interior, with booths available for special events. The food and drink menu has a large range of dishes, infused with Australian ingredients and recipes.

Walkabout has always been known for their party atmosphere, which is great for sports. This is still very much what they are known for and they host events for all major sports events.

Venues

Barnsley, Birmingham, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Bristol, Cardiff, Carlisle, Derby, Exeter, Glasgow, Hanley, Lichfield, Lincoln, Liverpool, Manchester, Newquay, Plymouth, Reading, Sheffield, Solihull, Swansea, Temple and Watford
