City nightclub announces closure

A Wolverhampton nightclub has announced it is to close next month after "one last massive party".

Popworld Wolverhampton opened on North Street in 2013, but in a post on social media said it was "time to say goodbye" after "over a decade of unforgettable nights [and] incredible memories".

"We've been proud to bring the Popworld party to life, and we can't thank you, our loyal customers, enough for all the laughs, love, and legendary nights out," the club said.

The venue will reopen under new ownership and a new name after the closing party on 4 May.

The club said the past decade had been an amazing journey filled with "confetti, classic tunes, party anthems, and some of the best events Wolverhampton has ever seen".

"You made this place what it was, and we'll miss every single one of you more than words can say," they added.

The club also wished the new owners all the best for the venue's new chapter.
