Edinburgh-based nightclub LuLu\u2019s has been forced to close its dance floor and replace it with tables and chairs to by-pass Scotland\u2019s COVID-19 passport scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lulu\u2019s has closed its dance floor as the managing director of the club said the COVID-19 passport scheme has perpetrated a drop in revenue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From October 1<\/a>, punters have had to prove they have been doubly vaccinated against coronavirus in order to enter a nightclub, attend unseated indoor and outdoor live events with more than 4,000 people, and visit any events with a capacity of more than 10,000 people present.<\/p>\n By not having a dance floor and having a seating area instead, Lulu\u2019s will not require customers to show a vaccine passport to enter, in line with the scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n Lulu\u2019s managing director Innes Bolt told Edinburgh Live<\/a>: \u201cWe have experienced a significant decline in footfall resulting in a crash in our sales which meant that Lulu was running at a loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cTo protect our staff, promoters and business, we have removed the designated dance floor and reconfigured our space. Instead, we have created a new seating area, bringing in additional furniture to occupy that space and repositioning our DJ booth.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis change will allow us to maintain a sage and controlled environment throughout.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Image: David Jackson<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
