Inside Blossoms star's new Bohemian Arts Club bar and salon in Stockport

If the frontman of Blossoms was ever going to open a bar, surely it could only ever be in Stockport? And now, hidden away on a historic cobbled backstreet in Stockport's Old Town lies Bohemian Arts Club - a sophisticated cocktail den created by Tom Ogden and his wife Katie.

It was announced late last year that the couple - who met and married in the town - planned to open their own cocktail bar and salon in their native Stockport on Lower Hillgate in the burgeoning Underbanks district. And after two years of hard graft, the pair - with support from families, friends, and those in the know - have transformed a derelict space on Coopers Brow into a design-led cocktail bar with nods to their jet-setting lifestyle and home comforts.

Set to open its doors this weekend, the three-storey building situated opposite Yellowhammer Bakery and Top of the Town Vintage - the latter owned by Sophia Rosemary, the fiance of Tom's bandmate Joe Donovan (who is also Katie's brother) - features not only a bar, but a ground-floor salon too - the second site for Katie's popular Hazel Grove brand Bohemian.
