Exchange on Old Market Street has announced it's reducing its opening hours "with a heavy heart" due to the cost of living crisis. The popular not-for-profit music venue has decided to close its cafe bar area on weekdays for the "foreseeable future".
The venue will instead be moving towards expanding its daytime programme of events including gigs, workshops and markets - full listings are available through its website. Its resident record store Specialist Subject will continue to trade every day from the usual time of midday.
On Facebook, a statement from Exchange read: "It's with a heavy heart that Exchange has decided to close its cafe/bar for the DAYTIMES Monday-Friday for the foreseeable future. We will now only be open in the daytimes Saturday and Sunday from 12, with @specialistsubject continuing their trade everyday from 12 through the side door."
