Live music venue to open in time for the New Year

New late-night venue ‘The Avenue’ will open on 30 December and is expected to be one of the UK’s largest, independent music venues in the UK with a capacity of 1800 people.

Owned by Security and Facilities Management services in Holmewood, they aim to introduce a live indie and rock and roll vibe to Chesterfield.

As a venue, club and bar, they hope to revitalise the town’s nightlife and present local bands with the opportunity to display their talents to a huge audience.

Their vision is to attract big named artists to The Avenue to play alongside inspired performers.

The Avenue will be holding their opening night on 30 December in time for New Year, where platinum selling Happy Monday’s member, Mark ‘Bez’ Berry, will be making an appearance. Live acts that will also take to the stage on the evening include local bands The Time Sellers and Fifty-Nine.
