Knightsbridge advises on £3.95m deal for Escape Club Ltd

Established in 1984, Escape Club Limited, which trades as Audio, is one of the most popular music clubs within Brighton and boasts a capacity of 580 people.

The business occupies a substantial semi detached property with parking to the front. The main bar is on the ground floor with a capacity of 260. There is a large patio area to the front of the building with benches and tables and fantastic views. The main club is in the basement with a capacity of 320 and has the latest state of the art sound system and lighting system.

The business, which generates a turnover of £1,350,000, was offered up to the market in May 2014 in order to allow our clients to pursue other business interests. The £3.95m deal was completed in November 2014 and came under offer in July after Knightsbridge introduced the new owners to the business.

The acquirer, Mothership Group, is a bar and events operator, currently with three sites in East London.
