Cabot Circus: The 4 businesses we have lost in 2024 including Coal Kitchen and House of Fraser

The reasons behind the closure of the cinema are understood to be in response to the decline in ticket sales and an increase in rent.

Scroll through to learn about the other businesses that have closed their doors at Cabot Circus since.

Casa Brasil

The all-you-can-eat restaurant specialised in Brazilian BBQ, salads, desserts and cocktail and announced its closure in June after 7 years.

On a sign on the window, Casa Brasil Bristol said: “Due to unforeseen circumstances Casa Brasil Cabot Circus has now closed.

“We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

“Thank you for your support. Casa Brasil.”

Coal Kitchen

Located next to the former Showcase Cinema de Lux, Coal Kitchen announced they were closing its doors in May “after five wonderful year.”

The family-run business announced the introduction of additional vehicle charges and soaring energy and food costs were making operating in Cabot increasingly challenging, and the closure of Showcase cinema next door was the final straw.

“Unfortunately, this meant that we were unable to agree feasible terms with our landlord to make this a viable location, “ Coal Kitchen concluded their statement.

Rumble Jungle

Bristol’s first indoor crazy golf venue closed on March 30 after 15 years.

Rumble Jungle said the centre’s owners, Hammerson, had refused to renew its lease, calling the decision “incompetence and bad business.”

However, Hammerson said it wants to attract the “best-in-class occupiers” to the centre.

The venue will be replaced by Treetop Golf, a brand new interactive golf adventure park, later this year.

House of Fraser

The flagship store on Cabot Circus will be closing down in August.

House of Fraser announced a 20% off closing sale after the announcement in July that the venue would be replaced by M&S.

M&S will return after it closed down in 2022 after 70 years of operation.
