[dutchman]

It has announced an opening date



Bosses at Nuneaton's Fever nightclub have revealed that they are to re-open - despite a government ban on opening nightspots.

A post emerged on Twitter and on Facebook to say that the venue is to re-open its doors on July 31.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that nightclubs will remain shut for the foreseeable future.

But, in a statement, bosses at the Newdegate Street-based nightspot confirmed that they will be re-opening as a bar - not nightclub.

They added that a raft of changes have been made.

• Reduced capacity
  
• Dancefloors have been closed to make more space for tables
  
• No live DJ sets - these will be replaced by pre-recorded DJ sets at more ambient sound levels
  
• Single use menus
  
• Contactless payments
  
• Hand sanitiser stations
  
• New health and safety training for staff
  
• Tables can be booked

A spokesperson for Fever said: “Following carefully planning and risk assessment we are now opening our Fever venues across the country.

"Our first priority is the safety of our staff and customers and additional training and safety measures have been put in place throughout the brands.

“We are implementing clear social distancing measures, enhanced cleaning regimes and providing customers with full table service. We have temporarily closed our dance floors to make space for more tables.

"There will be no live DJ sets, instead we will be streaming pre-recorded DJ sets at more ambient sound levels. Single use menu’s, contactless payments, and hand sanitiser stations compliment the revised layout of our venues.

“We advise customers to book as we will have reduced capacity and please keep an eye on our social media pages to check our trading hours.”
