York nightclub Popworld to close for relaunch as Replay

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 13:31 · Archive

York nightclub Popworld is closing later this month for a two-week refurbishment before reopening as Replay York on 29 October.

Popworld, located on George Hudson Street in York city centre, is closing its doors later this month ahead of a refurbishment and relaunch under new management. The venue will be temporarily shut for two weeks before reopening as Replay York on Thursday, 29 October.

Connor Heywood, the venue's new manager, confirmed the news, saying: 'We want to reassure everyone that Popworld isn't disappearing because the venue is closing permanently. We're simply giving it a fresh new look and a new name.' Heywood, who has been working in hospitality in Yorkshire for over a decade, stressed that the changes will modernise the experience without losing the elements that made Popworld popular.

The venue will retain its focus on party music, nostalgic throwback anthems, and 'a lively, feel-good atmosphere'. Heywood added: 'Replay will be very similar to what people already know and love about Popworld. We're keeping the fun atmosphere, the music and the party experience, but bringing everything up to date.' The rebrand comes amid speculation about the club's future, but the new management team have emphasised that the closure is only temporary.
