Overview

• The venue, which opened in 2003 on the site of a former skate park, has been a cornerstone of Bristol’s nightlife and is ranked among the best clubs in the world.
• Club owners have submitted a bid to purchase the property but have not received a response from the landowners, prompting plans to relocate to a new site.
• A fundraising campaign has been launched, including ticket sales for a 'Last Dance' closing series, limited-edition merchandise, and lifetime passes.
• The farewell events begin on May 4 and will culminate in a final celebration on July 19, marking the end of an era for the venue and its sister site, The Marble Factory.
