Venue Closures – Nottingham and Brighton
Regrettably, we’ve had to close our Oak Amusements venue at Nottingham and our Golden Touch venue at Brighton. Like all high street operators, we have had to make some difficult decisions about certain locations. We’d like to thank all our customers for their business, and our venue teams for their commitment, support and passion, especially over recent times.
