The name 'The Stagedoor' comes from the sound and lighting company that Mark and his family run. He said: "Theatre, music, festivals and dance have been a big part of our lives and the bar is a tribute to that. It is a combination of technical excellence and elegance boasting a beautiful chandelier as the centerpiece." Photo: Neil Cross
