🥂🎉 HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM RED BY NIGHT 🎉🥂

Happy New Year to everyone.

Thanks for another year of late nights, big tunes, bad decisions, legendary dance moves and friendships made in the queue for the bar. Here’s to more music, more madness, more nights you won’t fully remember but will definitely talk about.

Whatever this year brings, we’re ready for it. 🍾✨

Thank you for every countdown, every song, every moment. ❤️

🥂🎆 NEW YEAR’S EVE AT RED BY NIGHT - THE LAST DANCE 🎆🥂

If your New Year’s resolution is “I’ll just have a quiet one” - this is not the place for you.

We’re seeing the year out LOUD, MESSY and surrounded by absolute bangers.
This is the night where time has no meaning, drinks taste stronger after midnight and everyone suddenly loves everyone.

🎧 DJ Al starts the chaos with wall-to-wall 90s & 00s anthems
🕛 When the clock hits midnight, Pritchy & Cartwright take over and make sure nobody goes home sensible

Expect:
🎶 songs you didn’t plan to scream
🍾 “just one more” turning into several
🕺 dancing like the year personally wronged you

Countdown. Confetti (probably). Questionable decisions.
The kind of night where January You has to deal with December You’s behaviour.

Please take a moment to look at these charts.

The top one is 2024.
The bottom one is 2025.

We changed our till system in March 2024, so everything from that point on is like-for-like.

In 2024, things weren’t perfect, but they worked. Spring and summer regularly hit £40k+ months.
There was a late-summer dip (there always is), then a proper lift going into Christmas.

That’s what a venue surviving looks like.

Now look at 2025.

The peaks are lower.
The dips come sooner.
And the bounce back just… doesn’t really happen.

Even in months that should be strong, takings are thousands of pounds down on last year. By the end of the year, the gap is impossible to ignore.

Around July 2024, a new government was elected. Whatever your politics, what followed was a very real drop in consumer confidence. People became more cautious. Nights out turned into “maybes”. Spending tightened.

At the same time, the cost-of-living crisis didn’t ease, it just became the background noise of everyday life.

For venues like ours, that happened alongside:
• a much higher wage bill
• increased business rates
• rising supplier and utility costs

So while customers were spending less, our fixed costs were rising fast.

There’s a point, roughly around £30k a month, where a venue like ours can just about breathe. Above it, you can pay people properly, book acts, invest, and plan ahead.

Below it, the same bills don’t care how hard you work.

In 2024, we were mostly above that line.
In 2025, we are below it again and again.

That’s what slowly squeezes a venue.

Not one bad night.
Not one bad decision.
Just month after month of “almost enough”.

The room didn’t suddenly empty, people just came out less often. And those that did come out spent less.

We’re sharing this for honesty.

This is what it actually looks like when independent venues start to disappear.

Quietly. Gradually. And long before the lights finally go out.

It’s too late for us, there is no bounce back.

But for many independent venues there’s still time for you to make a difference. Put £10 in their till, not Wetherspoons, Starbucks or McDonalds, it could mean the difference between keeping the lights on or off.

It’s incredibly hard to write this, but Red By Night as you know it will be closing from 1st January.

New Year’s Eve will be the very last time the doors open and the final chance to experience the venue.

Red By Night has been a place where people met, celebrated milestones, danced without judgement, sang at the top of their lungs, discovered new music, supported live acts, and made memories that will stay with us forever.

Like many independent venues across the country, the reality we face is difficult. Ongoing economic pressures, rising costs, and a sustained drop in footfall have made it impossible for the venue to continue in a sustainable way.

This decision was not taken lightly. We have fought hard, adapted, reworked, and tried everything we could to keep Red By Night alive, but sometimes passion alone isn’t enough.

To every single person who has walked through our doors- thank you.

To the artists, DJs, bands, promoters, and creatives who trusted us with their nights- thank you.

To our customers who chose Red By Night for their nights out, celebrations, and memories, we are endlessly grateful.

And most of all- to our staff past and present who gave the venue its heart- thank you ❤️

New Year’s Eve will be our final night together. Not a goodbye filled with sadness, but a chance to celebrate everything this place has been. One last dance, one last singalong, one last night under the lights.

Thank you for being part of the story.
Thank you for the memories.

Lots of love,

James

❤️
