Pryzm to close
Pryzm has been a rite of passage for clubbers in Bristol for a decade.
But its sticky floor will be no more after its upcoming New Year’s Eve celebrations when the club will close ahead of a £2.5m refurbishment of the building it currently occupies.
Owners promise the space will be transformed into “an exciting next generation, experience-led, split-concept party bar venue”.
