The Nightclub Closure Fund will provide a one-off payment to support nightclubs that were required to close as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19) measures in December 2021 and January 2022.

The grant is a one-off payment at the rate of:

• £25,000 for premises which have a rateable value of up to and including £40,000
• £35,000 for premises which have a rateable value between £40,001 and £75,000
• £55,000 for premises which have a rateable value of £75,001 or above

Individual ratepayers with more than one business may receive an award for each registered business entity.

Nightclubs that have previously received support will be contacted and asked to complete an application by 14 January 2022.

Businesses that have not received an invite by 14 January 2022 and believe they should have can contact covidbusinesssupport@gov.scot

Businesses which are registered as a nightclub but have never received COVID-19 funding through their local authority may be eligible for this fund. Additional details will be required in order to assess their eligibility. Further details of this process will be provided soon.
