Sorry ladies and Gents... this one's out of my control.
This is the official statement from Gatecrasher:
"Gatecrasher Loves Nottingham has been forced to shut temporarily due to a serious fire which broke out on Wednesday night at adjacent Queen Street restaurant Soulville Steakhouse.
Six fire crews from Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service attended the blaze and managed to contain the fire to the restaurant.
The fire did not spread extensively to Gatercrasher but the club has suffered serious smoke and heat damage and will remain closed whilst a refurbishment takes place. The extent of the damage is currently being assessed and until that time no guarantees can be made as to when the club will reopen.
Simon Raine, Managing Director of Gatecrasher commented;
“We must commend Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service who did an excellent job in terrible conditions as they prevented this serious fire spreading extensively to neighbouring businesses like ourselves.
However, Gatecrasher was damaged by the fire and unfortunately will remain shut whilst we undergo a refurbishment. The scale of the damage and the time we will have to remain closed is as yet uncertain and will be determined following a formal assessment.
Unfortunately some of the nights we had planned will have to be rescheduled including the debut of phenomenal DJ Chris Lake which was planned for this Friday,
We will reschedule Chris’s date for sometime in the future.
Gatecrasher Nottingham prides itself on having a stunning interior and cutting edge technology so we must take the time to return the interior to its former glory. We will use this essential close down period to refurbish the club making it better than it has ever been.”
Gatercrasher will be back in business as soon as possible and the club has some massive DJs planned in coming months including the Shapeshifters, Pete Tong, Spectrum’s 8th Birthday and David Guetta who plays on Good Friday.
An update on when the club will reopen will be made shortly."
Updates will be posted on the Gatecrasher web-site at www.gatecrasher.com.
