A new Irish pub is set to open its doors in the West End of Morecambe.

Duffy's will open on Saturday June 6 from noon with a day of live music including three bands.

The premises has previously been known as Maggie's Bar, The Cavern, Bar 10 and most recently AJ's Bar.

New licensee Helen Duff, who took over earlier this year, has Irish roots and said the pub is named after her great grandfather.

"We want to be part of the West End community and bring more people in," said Helen.

"We've got some great pubs around here already, we all work together and this is adding another culture to the mix."

Signs and Irish flags have gone up outside the venue on Springfield Street ahead of the opening.

It has also been announced that Duffy's will be part of Morecambe Music Festival this July.

Duffy's will be the first Irish bar to open in Morecambe since the popular Ma Murphy's on Lines Street in the town centre, which closed in 2012.

Molly O'Malleys Irish pub opened on Church Street in Lancaster earlier this year.
