HIDE, an upstairs bar within the Fargate attraction, is advertised as opening on Friday, November 25. If the launch goes ahead as planned, the Container Park will then be fully open - more than four months after the original launch date of July and just weeks before it is dismantled.

Two development projects on Fargate - repaving and a revamp of the former Clinton Cards shop - will force the container park to move.

A city council spokeswoman said it was likely to be in spring but a new location had yet to be chosen. The authority previously said it was in negotiations with a third party over a new site.
