The move marks the end of an era for the nightclub in Clarence Street which has also been a cinema in its time.
The main room will continue to operate until July the 12th.
At the start of the year, it was announced £3 million would be spent on rejuvenating the site following its purchase by NEOS Hospitality, and it would be split into two separate spaces.
It’s after Rekom UK, the former parent company of Pryzm, closed 17 venues nationwide due to financial difficulties.
The Grade II listed building originally opened as Granada Cinema in 1939 and was later expanded with two more screens, before shutting in 1987.
The venue was eventually turned into a nightclub called Oceana, which rebranded as PRYZM Kingston in 2014.
Thanks to Kingston based record company Banquet Records, the nightclub has become a major artist hot-spot over the last few years under the guidance of Jon Tolley and partners, seeing the likes of Sir Rod Stewart, Shania Twain and Billie Eilish all perform there in recent years.
Russell Quelch CEO of NEOS Hospitality, which owns PRYZM, said: “Thousands of people have made memories that will last them a lifetime, from over 20 years of amazing nights out at PRYZM and Oceana before it. The closure is the end of a long running chapter for the Kingston club scene, but it’s time to look to the future and re-imagine what this site could hold, in a fresh new look at nightlife for next generation of UK party lovers.”
Radio Jackie asked NEOS if this means a re-brand is on the cards to which we were told it would “not be a re-brand of the existing club.”
