In November we announced that Boom will be closing in March 2025. Currently, Boom is located within Byron Street Mills on Millwright Street in Leeds. Our current landlord has decided to terminate our lease to start work on developing the building into flats & shops.
Before Christmas, we formally offered to take on a building on the fringe of Leeds City Centre. The building is larger than our current location. It will allow us to establish and grow a fantastic Community Interest Company (CIC) model music venue with education, community facilities and more.
Thanks to the dedicated support of our community, fundraising is off to a strong start. Since November our community has come together to both organise and attend gigs, contribute to the Christmas prize draw and purchase merchandise from our web store. So far we have raised £30,000 - we can’t thank you enough.
What we need to raise now
For us to confidently move forward with the new location we need support to raise a further £52,000. To help us raise the 52k we have set a target to raise £15,000 from CrowdFunding. This is where we need your help!
