Norwich city will soon provide under-18s with a 460 capacity alcohol-free nightclub in an attempt to provide young people with safe and supervised diversionary activities. The 'Open' nightclub will be run by professional door staff and include voluntary support from youth workers including members of Connexions, the Matthew Project and Norfolk County Council Children’s Services, Network Norwich reports.
Venue Marketing and Events Manager, Rachael Murray, said:
“We are really excited to be launching Open’s new nightclub, and once again putting Norwich at the forefront of youth provision in the UK. There has been a clearly identified need to provide positive and fun activities for young people to take part in, particularly during weekend evenings, and we are extremely pleased to be launching a great quality venue dedicated to young people and geared towards providing them with enjoyable, safe and alcohol free club experiences.”
