One of Bristol’s biggest nightclubs will become the first in the city to ban phones on the dance floor to “create a space where people can really be present”.
Lakota, in the St Paul’s area of the city, said anyone who repeatedly flouts the policy in its new Moon Club room will be asked to leave.
The new rules will come into force on 6 September when the room opens to clubgoers and does not apply to the rest of the nightclub.
Hywel Gregory, head of events and marketing at Lakota, said: “We’re confident Bristol will respond positively. People are looking for spaces where they can switch off and enjoy the music without distraction.”
