A new Swindon town centre nightclub promises to be a safe space for 'people who feel too old in other clubs', its owners say.

An empty unit nestled between The Kop bar and The Original Ghandi Indian takeaway will soon be full of the best hits from the 80s and 90s when it opens as The 3 House. 

The new venture is the brainchild of Lucy Potter, 37, from Stratton and partners Craig Moore and Andrew Rodgers. 

Lucy originally leased the building with the intention of opening a business there, but until recently could not decide what she wanted to do with it. 

That's when Craig approached her with the idea of an 80s and 90s-themed bar - and Lucy jumped at the chance. 

Lucy explained The 3 House, named because it's at 3 Victoria Road will be aimed towards people who will remember the 80s and 90s fondly. 

"I was talking to my friend and we all wanted to go out and have a good night but also we didn't want to feel old. 

"Most nightclubs you go in now are full of really young people and have music that you don't know.

"So I wanted to produce a venue where people can come and enjoy themselves and have a good night with whoever they are with as well as their mum friends and dad friends."

The trio have been spending the last few weeks getting the venue ready for opening - which they hope will be in mid December with a preview night the day before, but Lucy said it needed a lot of work. 

"Everything is being refurbished, the floors, the walls, new toilets, everything has been ripped out and everything is being put back in, it is a complete refurb and thousands and thousands are being put in to it."

When it is finished, the club will offer Karaoke, open mic nights, DJs and live music. 

"It won't just be a nightclub, it'll be a place you can come to before or after a meal or a show for drinks," Lucy said. 

Since news of The 3 House's impending arrival broke, Lucy said she's been 'overwhelmed' by the reaction to a new nightlife venue opening in the town. 

"I’ve had so many people saying how much fun it's going to be, somewhere for people our age who don’t want to go a pub all the time and who say nightclubs make them feel a bit old and fuddy-duddy."
