Lakota became the first nightclub in Bristol to ban filming to “create a space where people can really be present” in its new Moon Club.

The club said anyone who repeatedly flouts the policy will be asked to leave.

“The no-phones policy was a real success,” Hywel Gregory, Lakota’s head of marketing said.

“Aside from a couple of isolated cases, we didn’t see any phones on the dance floor at all, and those few people were very understanding and corrected their behaviour straight away when asked politely.”

Mr Peacock, who was invited to the club’s opening night which was on his 68th birthday, said it was a “1980s-vibe authentic rave”.

The approach is being followed by clubs across the country and world, including Ibiza.

In Manchester, Warehouse Project banned filming in its Concourse section of the club, with people required to place a sticker – provided by staff – over their phone’s cameras.

The venue said it wanted to “take the clubbing experience back to its core, which is being in a room with like-minded people feeling connected through music”.

The BBC has approached the club for further information about how the night went.

Amber’s Club in Manchester has been operating a no-phones policy since opening in December 2024.

Similarly, singers and performers are also introducing phone-bans such as Bob Dylan who launched the policy for his UK tour in 2024.
