The owner of a Helston nightclub has announced the venue's closure.

Boxx nightclub, which took over from Shooters Bar in Coinagehall Street in 2017, has shut.

Last night a post on the club's Facebook announced that the venue would be shutting due to a disagreement involving the landlord and security staff.

It goes on to cite increasing rent and rates and a lack of customers as putting pressure on the business over the years.

The post stated that the club's owner plans to fight the closure in court.

It said: "We will be fighting this all the way. However we are closed henceforth.

"We would like to thank those of you who supported us and the friendships we made over in Helston.

"We got to know a lot of you and enjoyed your company and had some fun with you.

"As a business it was tight running and although i had many plans for the place the unfortunate lack of business coming in the door prevented me from doing this.

"Nonetheless we put on a few parties and events and did the best we could.

"As a sole trader without much capital behind me it was difficult to get it off the ground and take it where I wanted it to be.

"In the end capitalism and greed win over passion and art."
