Manchester games venue announces sudden re-opening after apparent closure

Point Blank has announced that they will be re-opening their Manchester site, only weeks after announcing the closure of all areas across the UK.

In a post on social media, Point Blank Bars said: “The last couple of weeks have been incredibly difficult, and until the last few days we didn't have clarity ourselves. This message has been written and rewritten more times than we can count. Due to the unforgiving climate in our sector and our landlord going into administration, we were locked out of our Manchester venue with no notice. As an independent business, this caused a huge knock-on effect, and sadly we were left with no choice but to shut all three sites with immediate effect.”

However, the team confirmed that “after intense discussions we have managed to secure the keys back for our Manchester site.”

This means that Point Blank will now be re-opening but under the direct control of the Point Blank Group. The team confirmed that this is the only site that will be re-opening for now.

In regards to bookings, the team said: “We are working through all bookings with an extremely limited team, and we will personally be in contact as soon as possible to do right by as many guests as we can.”
