The Lookout

The Lookout, located on the site of the former Marks & Spencer building, will introduce new family activities, cultural spaces, and food and drink into the heart of Redcar—alongside the creation of an attractive new public space. This landmark project will draw people into the town centre year‑round. By increasing footfall and providing high‑quality indoor attractions, it will strengthen Redcar’s visitor economy and support surrounding shops, cafés and local businesses.

The building will include a modern library, a flexible family‑entertainment zone, and a vibrant food and drink offer. While the exact mix will be determined by the future operator, the venue is designed to accommodate innovative activities such as Augmented reality (AR)-enhanced digital darts, AR enhanced shuffleboard, and other interactive experiences. A lively events programme will help establish The Lookout as a key destination along the High Street and Esplanade.
