About this business
Music and events venue in central Oxford, owning its building freehold and trading since 2014 with 65 staff. It hosts touring bands, club nights, student events and conferences. Turnover has eased each year from £4.01m in 2021 to £3.45m, and EBITDA is down 10% to £374k, a margin of about 11%.
