The Nighttime Industries Associations Partner & Sankeys have joined together to Launch the Campaign #DoYouWannaSankeys, which aims to open more clubs around the UK.
In the past 10 years almost 50% of Nightclubs have shut their doors, with even Sankeys losing their very first home in Manchester just two weeks ago, with many fearing we are fast-losing a vital part of our heritage and national identity. Nightclubs and music venues are where we dance, fall in love and first incubate the new music and culture of the future and they must be protected.
The campaign, which will give music lovers the chance to vote and bring a Sankeys club or event series to their area. The more support an area gets the more investment and activity Sankeys will bring to their nightlife scene. This will provide people with a voice on a subject that millions of Brit’s feel very passionate about.
Alan Miller, Chairman of the The Night Time Industries Association says “We are proud to be working with the team for Sankeys across Britain. Just one week after the world found out the shocking news that Sankeys in Manchester was closing after over 20 years – now 20 cities in UK have the chance for a new club. Upbeat, fun and engaging this is what Saving Nightlife is all about. So #Doyouwannasankeys…? Join the campaign have your voice heard & then also sign our petition at www.savenightlife.com. As we have seen recently with Fabric, Together We Are Strong”
