End of an era as Iconic Nottingham nightclub PRYZM closes down

A Nottingham nightclub has closed, with its staff made redundant. 

Pryzm, in Lower Parliament Street, has closed its doors after being the centre of Nottingham’s nightlife scene for eight years. 

Last month the club’s owner, Rekom, called in administrators after struggling with high bills. 

The BBC reported on Thursday (February 1) that people had been spotted moving stock out of the building. 

It has been confirmed today (Friday, February 2), that the club has closed with immediate effect. 

In a statement, Rekom’s chairman Peter Marks said: “Following a review of our business, we were unable to reach an agreement with our landlord and have been forced to hand back the lease of PRYZM Nottingham. 

“Sadly, this means the club has closed and our team has been made redundant.

“While we understand the impact this will have on the local late-night economy, it’s important to recognise that this decision follows an extremely difficult period for the sector, due to the combination of the cost-of-living crisis hitting younger generations and students particularly hard, as well as the rising costs including the national minimum wage which particularly affects hospitality, alongside increased business rates and many other costs of operating.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our guests and teams who have made PRYZM Nottingham such an iconic venue for a great night out over the years.”
