It has been a long time coming, but we’re finally ready to reopen our venue & restart the shows we’ve all missed so much. We can’t wait…Before we open, we want to make clear our commitment to keeping our staff, customers, artists, and promoters safe & comfortable, we hope you will join us in this. We believe it is the only way to keep everyone safe, and the venue open!
Whilst we will be returning to ‘business as usual’ there will be a number of changes which you’ll see in the venue:

How you can help us stay safe, and stay open:

- Follow government advice, get tested and stay at home.
- Get vaccinated, we’ll be encouraging our teams to do the same.
- Take regular Lateral Flow Tests and help stop asymptomatic transmission.
- Wash hands regularly around the building and use hand sanitizers when entering our venues.
- Consider wearing a mask if you’re able to, when approaching the bar, or door teams. We’ll have some available for you to use if you don’t bring your own.
- Remember not everyone will feel comfortable getting back into full scale events, be mindful of those around you, and respect their choices even if they differ to your own.
- The above are recommendations, which we think will ensure that the reopening of nightlife goes the way we all want it to.
- We won’t be denying access to those who chose not to follow them. We just ask that you consider yourself, our teams and your fellow music lovers when making your decisions.
