OF 59 is a £1.1m, 70,000 sq ft
mixed-leisure complex which
opened its doors on Aycliffe
Business Park, County Durham,
creating 20 new jobs.
Owners Finley Structures have brought the
former bullet-making factory back to life with
a 10-month overhaul which has transformed
the site into a 21st Century entertainment
venue.
It now consists of a climbing centre
featuring 20 walls - one standing 20 metres
tall - and a series of ‘adventure walls’.
And for the adults ROF 59 features a plush
new bar/lounge, called The Bunker, as well as
a fine-dining restaurant named The Blitz.
