The opening date of a Wiltshire town’s newest music venue has been revealed.
The Ruze, on Union Road in Chippenham, has announced its official opening weekend will be held from Friday, February 27, to Sunday, March 1, following test events in December.
Construction to transform the former garage into a “cultural hub” for live music and other community events began last March after planning permission was granted by Wiltshire Council.
The Ruze will be revealing more details about its opening weekend soon.
The project was co-founded by Jacob Roos and Steve Bent, who were determined to create a music venue in the town as the nightlife industry struggles locally and nationally.

When work started, Mr Roos said: “The recent loss of Moles in Bath was devastating to the music scene in Wiltshire and Somerset, and it is not the first time we have seen these types of closures.
“Our goal is to create a vibrant venue that supports both emerging and established artists while fostering a thriving community space for music lovers.”
Mr Bent added: “We invite artists, businesses, and creatives to be part of this journey as we bring The Ruze to life.
“We are committed to hitting the ground running when we officially open, and we can’t wait for everyone to be involved.”
