Morecambe sports and social club set to reopen after 'urgent safety works'

The Trimpell Club closed its doors in August for “urgent safety works” but it was announced on Wednesday that there are now plans to reopen at the end of November.

"We have some amazing news...Trimpell Sports and Social Club has been saved!" said a post on The Trimpell's Facebook page.

"After what has been an incredibly difficult and uncertain time, we are absolutely delighted to finally be able to share the news we’ve all been hoping for – our club has been saved!

"There is still plenty of work to be done, but all going well, we are aiming to reopen towards the end of November. As soon as we have a confirmed opening date, we’ll be sharing it right here and keeping everyone updated along the way.

"To celebrate our reopening, function room hire for all remaining available dates in 2026 will be FREE!

"A £200 refundable deposit will be required to secure your booking, subject to our usual booking terms and conditions.

"We cannot thank everyone enough who has supported, donated, fundraised, shared posts and stood behind Trimpell throughout this journey. The support for our club has been incredible.

"We can’t wait to get the doors back open, welcome everyone back and start making memories at Trimpell Sports & Social Club once again!

"We're coming back!"

The club, which is in Out Moss Lane, shut on August 3, saying they were following local authority advice that urgent safety works were needed at the premises.

“We have been advised that urgent works are required within the club to ensure the safety of our members, customers, staff and visitors," said a statement at the time.

"The safety of everyone who uses the club is our absolute priority, and the last thing we would ever want to do is put anyone at risk.”

An online fundraising appeal was then launched in a bid to raise £60,000 to save the club, which raised almost £5,000.

Several meetings for members were later held at the club to discuss its future.
