A town centre nightclub is set to close after two decades at the heart of the area’s nightlife industry.
Club e11evn, on New Road in Chippenham, has been one of the town’s last dedicated nightlife venues for some time following the closure of other nightclubs over the years.
Now it is set to meet the same fate after the club’s management announced it would be shutting down at the start of February.
E11evn will close to customers following its planned closing party on Saturday, February 1.
In a statement shared on Facebook, the Club e11evn team revealed the decision had been made as a result of the industry’s decline in Chippenham.

Saturday, February 1 marks the final night for e11evn, a decision driven by rising operational costs and a decline in the late-night economy within Chippenham.”
The club has thanked all those who supported it over the years and contributed to its best nights, including both customers and those who worked at the venue during the last two decades.
People have been urged to attend the club’s “last celebration” to make sure it goes out in style.
A spokesperson added: “As we prepare to close this chapter, we invite our loyal customers and friends to join us for one last celebration next weekend.
“Let us come together to honour the memories we’ve created and the friendships we’ve forged.
“Thank you for being a part of our journey. You will always have a place in the story of e11evn.
“We are open this weekend and our last opening night will be Saturday, February 1, 2025.”
Doors will open at 10pm on e11evn’s last night in Chippenham and entry will be £5 all night.
An announcement on Facebook confirmed that all drinks will be discounted to clear throughout the night.
The closure comes amid challenging times for nightclubs across the UK.
Last year the Night Time Industries Association warned clubbing could be “extinct” by the end of the decade after hundreds of venues went out of business.
