When Popworld is opening in Weston-super-Mare

Two new nightclubs are set to open in Weston-super-Mare next month.

Popworld and Zinc are set to open up inside the former Club Vision site on Richmond Street.

Clubbers expressed their disappointment when the "legendary" venue closed on Saturday February 22.

Somerset Live reports the venue has been undergoing an extensive refurbishment since the closure, which has included the first floor being remodelled and the stripping out of the bar.

New light fittings, effects lighting, soft floor coverings and CCTV are also set to be installed, alongside a new bar and some upgraded male toilets.

Popworld will be based on the ground floor and residents in Weston-super-Mare will be able to dance into the early hours to "the best pop tunes in town."

If you are not a fan of pop, the former 'Fever' area will be transformed into the Zinc room and will play commercial dance tunes, RnB and hip hop music.

A spokesman for Popworld said: "We are opening on April 3 and can't wait for you to join us when we open the doors to Weston's biggest party venue."

This will be Popworld's first venture into the realms of Somerset with the nearest other Popworld's being in Bristol and Weymouth.

Club Vision, which was open for eight years, was purchased by Fever Bars in 2018.

The club made the decision to close in January, calling it the "end of an era".

A Club Vision spokesperson said: "After eight years in Weston, Club Vision will close our doors for the very last time on February 22.

"Thanks to every single one of you who have walked through our doors and partied with us over the years.

"Keep your eyes peeled for the start of a new era."
