It was once one of Norwichs best-loved nightclubs but Ricks Place in Anglia Square closed nearly 10 years ago.

Now the building has been brought back to life as an events venue.

New leaseholders Steve Brookes and Joan Bush have overseen a 30,000 makeover of the site, now called Twilight, and its set to reopen a week tomorrow with the official launch with special guests two days later.

The club has undergone a full refurbishment and now has three bars, two rooms and a Function 1 sound system, said to be one of the few in Norwich.

The club has previously traded under various names including Ricks Place, Destiny, Deja Vu and Scamps, and was very popular before the hub of the citys night life moved to Prince of Wales Road and the Riverside complex.

It was called Destiny when it closed in 2004 following complaints over disorderly behaviour and underage drinking.

It had previously been known as Scamps, which opened in the summer of 1973. Ricks Place, named after Humphrey Bogarts club in the film Casablanca, arrived in the 1980s and became a popular haunt for the regions youth.
