A popular Merseyside venue is preparing to close its doors until next year. The Bus Yard began as a pop-up on Crosby<\/a> Promenade and quickly became a popular summer destination.<\/a><\/p>\n Positioned at the beach front of the Marine Lake at Crosby Coastal Park, The Bus Yard operates out of a converted bus bar with seating on top of the bus with views over the sea.<\/a> There is also a large cornered-off seating area with beach huts and shelters with views of the coast and Anthony Gormley\u2019s \u2018Iron Men\u2019 sculptures.<\/p>\n Street food from local suppliers is served out of a converted shipping container. Live acoustic music is also played regularly off the top of the bus.<\/p>\n The Bus Yard is only open during April and September however, as per its agreement with Sefton<\/a> Council. Tomorrow will be the last chance to visit this year, and the venue reminded its customers of this in a humorous fashion with an old video of one of its directors, Andy Laird, braving the wind and rain at an empty Bus Yard during a previous spell of bad weather<\/a>.<\/p>\n It comes after The Met Office issued a yellow warning<\/a> for wind, starting from tomorrow night at 8pm.<\/p>\n In the video, Andy laughed as he walked on the windy coastline and said: \u201cYou were all here in the f***ing sun – where are you now? F***ing hell.\u201d<\/p>\n The caption of the post added: “Today\u2019s the last chance to catch us at Crosby Marina! With tomorrow\u2019s weather looking a little stormy with a whole load of rain like this iconic throwback, our bus will be transforming into the Liverpool Duck Bus overnight \u2014 sailing into hiding until next summer.<\/p>\n “So come down, get your final bus yard fix, and help us say goodbye to summer \u201925 in style! We can\u2019t wait to welcome you all back next year.<\/p>\n “Thanks for everything \u2014 we truly appreciate you all! Love, The Bus Yard gang.”<\/p>\n The post received over 700 likes, with many adding laughing emojis. One commented: \u201cBest part of a Crosby summer.\u201d<\/p>\n Another said: \u201cLove it! See you next summer.\u201d A third added: \u201cMy favourite video Andy.\u201d<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n Another person suggested that, following The Bus Yard\u2019s collaboration with Spudman<\/a>, that they should do a \u2018Spud Yard\u2019 for the winter.<\/p>\n
