Bridlington's Expanse Hotel to Close

Tuesday, 7 January 2025 16:30

By Matthew Pells

The family business will be closing after 90 years.

The Expanse Hotel has been in the same family since its construction in 1937 but is now to close as a result of "difficult trading conditions", although the apartments and residential flats will continue to operate.

In a post on social media the owners said:

"It is with great sadness that we have to announce the closure of the Expanse Hotel & Marine Bar.

The Expanse has remained in the same family since it was built in 1937 by our grandfather Edmond Cooper Briggs and continued by the 4th generation serving our beautiful Bridlington for nearly 90 years.

We would like to express our gratitude to each and every one of you who have supported us over the years.

Our wonderful guests and loyal customers who have made many happy memories and contributed to our long history.

Our loyal staff who have made the Expanse a happy place. You will all be missed by so many people, us especially, thank you for your hard work and commitment we have always appreciated everything you do.

Our local suppliers and tradespeople who have looked after us all so well, thank you and thank you Bridlington.

Unfortunately difficult trading conditions have forced our decision to close.

We will continue to operate our Apartments and Residential flats.

We now ask for your understanding and patience as we work to support our team.

From our Expanse Family."
