Bristol music and arts venue 'urgently seeking new operator' ahead of closure
A music and arts venue in Bristol is ‘urgently seeking a new operator’ ahead of closure.
Club395, at the Old Malt House on Little Ann Street in St Jude’s, is set to close on Saturday, February 28.
But the venue’s management is hopeful it can continue as a music and arts space.
In an Instagram post, Club395 wrote: “This is a turnkey venue in one of Bristol's strongest creative corridors.
“We are urgently seeking a new operator with financial backing to take the lease from the landlord and continue running it as a music and arts space.
“If the landlord takes it back, it becomes something else.
“If you have the experience and capacity to step into an already-built cultural infrastructure, this is a rare opportunity.”
Club395 includes a 200-capacity licensed main room, three rentable studios and more.
The venue opened last year as a new space for creative people in Bristol, but co-founder Ray Kabir has recently faced potential removal from the UK over visa issues.
