Leeds Venue Gives Out Lollipops to Curb Noise Complaints

Giving the phrase “you get more with sugar than with salt” a whole new meaning, a Leeds-based venue has started giving out lollipops to clubbers in order to curb noise complaints.

Extended Opening Hours

Located on Albion Street in the city centre, nightclub Home and Carousel was given the greenlight to open for an hour later on weekdays and weekends following a licensing hearing on Tuesday (January 14), though concerns had been raised over the potential for noise in a nearby apartment block.

Complimentary Lollipops to Clubbers

To ease fears, Operations Director David Nejrup said that the venue would introduce complimentary lollipops to clubbers, something he claims has worked to keep noise down in other venues across the country.

Licensing Extension Request

Home and Carousel had requested the extension to its license, which will see it open until 4:AM Sunday to Thursday, and 5:AM on Fridays and Saturdays due to a “trend” in Leeds venues opening later — which Nejrup claimed was leaving the venue at a “disadvantage” when up against other premises in the area.

Venue Details

The venue opened last year within the space of the now-shuttered Tiger Tiger Leeds, and operates as a multi-purpose venue; Carousel is a vintage arcade bar, while Home functions as a nightclub.

Additional Noise Prevention Measures

Alongside the lollipops, Home and Carousel has pledged to install sound insulation on the dancefloor, and relocate its outdoor smoking area in order to prevent noise, BBC News reports.
