Tell us: what late-night venues and clubs have closed in your town in recent years?

New figures have revealed that one in four late-night venues in the UK have closed since 2020: almost 800 in total, with closures accelerating this year. Lobbyists have warned about the potential for “night-time deserts” without urgent tax cuts for nightclubs and music venues, and music industry figures have said that the UK’s next music superstars may have nowhere to hone their craft if gig venues continue to shut.

We want to hear from you. How many venues and clubs have closed in your town in recent years? Are there any left at all? What opportunities are there for going out to dance or listen to live music?

For younger people, have you ever been able to have this kind of night out in the place where you live, grew up or study? And amid all the doom and gloom, we’re interested in hearing about any signs of growth in your area: clubs and venues hanging on or thriving against the odds.
