Britain’s oldest nightclub famed for its notorious sticky carpet is selling chunks of its vintage flooring for up to £50 a piece to nostalgic revellers. The Acapulco in Halifax, West Yorkshire, is known to punters for its distinctive, swirly patterned adhesive floor covering as much as for its 75p drinks offers.
And now boozers have the chance to buy a souvenir section of the sticky rug with prices ranging from £5 for an A4 sized piece to £50 for a larger, framed piece. Owner Simon Jackson was inspired after hearing a young clubber celebrating his 18th birthday tell how his parents met at the club and his grandmother had worked there.
Now, having been on sale for just a day, it has sold more than 100 pieces already and raised £1,000 for the local Street Angels charity, which helps homeless people.
