The Kazimier will close its doors on January 1 next year.
The Liverpool venue’s home at Wolstenholme Square will form part of a major redevelopment by the Elliot Group in the coming years and its owners have not opted to take on a new site once the work has been completed. The venue’s Liam Naughton told the Liverpool Echo:
“We support the proposed plans for the project - development of Wolstenholme Square has been expected for some time. The Kazimier will not be moving into a new site offered within the development. However, talks are in progress with Elliot Group about a team of interested parties from the Kazimier staff and collaborators taking on this opportunity.”
In a further statement posted to Facebook, the backroom staff promised “nine months of events to celebrate the life of the venue and provide it with a fitting end”. Read the full thing here.
“The Kazimier club began as an artistic project. From the explosive theatrical parties of its early years to its current standing it has grown to infinitely more than a building - it's home to a brilliant team of staff, collaborators, promoters and the community in Liverpool and beyond that have contributed to the club in so many ways. We would also like to thank the recent public support that has helped extend its life-span.
“We could never have envisioned the warmth of feeling The Kazimier Club has created since opening its doors 7 years ago, nor could we have envisioned it surviving for as long as it has, but true to its original ethos we believe it needs to finish on a high, in the same bricks and mortar as its birth.
“As this chapter draws to a close, we want to make it clear that this is the end of a building - the original artistic core and the wider Kazimier team are moving forwards with a variety of new projects in various new spaces. Details of the special programme of events for the following nine months ahead will be released shortly…look out for updates on our website and social media.”
A fresh plot for Cream, the city's superclub, is being included in developers' plans.
