Motion Bristol to sadly close down after 20 years
An iconic Bristol nightclub has announced it will be sadly closing down this summer.
After nearly 20 years, Motion has announced it will be closing down in July after its lease ends.
The team behind the venue submitted a bid to purchase the property in an effort to safeguard Motion’s legacy but were unfortunately unsuccessful.
Motion has started a Crowdfunder to raise money for a deposit for a new venue.
They commented: “But we’re not giving up. We’ve made the decision to take matters into our own hands and start the search for a new home for Motion. And we need your help to make it happen.
“If Motion has meant something to you; if you’ve danced here, fallen in love here, discovered music here, made friends, or simply felt free - this is your chance to give back. Share our story. Donate if you can. Spread the word. Help us secure a future that no one can take away.
“This is the beginning of a new chapter, and we hope you’ll be part of it.
“ Your contributions will directly support the deposit for a new venue and help us transform it into a world-class space ready to welcome a new generation of music lovers.
“By supporting Motion, you're not just helping secure a new home; you’re investing in the future of Bristol’s music scene, preserving a vital cultural institution, and ensuring that independent nightlife continues to thrive in our city for years to come.”
Motion’s fundraiser also offers a wide range of exclusive rewards from the Circular Productions portfolio, including closing party tickets, limited-edition merchandise and VIP experiences.
