Located right on Banbury’s main High Street, Zinc & Fever represent an exciting opportunity to operate two distinct late-night venues in the heart of this growing Oxfordshire town. Positioned next door to Wetherspoon’s and surrounded by popular local bars and restaurants, this site benefits from high footfall, excellent visibility, and a loyal late-night audience. Currently the only pure nightclub in Banbury, the venue is perfectly placed to capture the area’s vibrant weekend crowd and regional visitors. Fever operates on Fridays (10pm–1:30am) and Saturdays (10pm–2am), featuring three VIP booths and the potential to install draught lines — creating an opportunity to expand trading hours or introduce midweek events. Zinc runs slightly later — Fridays (10pm–3am) and Saturdays (10pm–3:30am) — offering ten VIP booths for premium guest experiences. Both spaces provide flexibility for rebranding and refurbishment, giving an incoming operator the freedom to create two distinct nightlife identities under one roof. Accommodation is included, comprising a one-bedroom flat with an open-plan living room and kitchen, plus a shower room — ideal for on-site management or staff use. Banbury itself continues to grow rapidly, with excellent transport links to both Birmingham and London, and a lively local scene driven by community events and a strong young professional demographic.

Regional Manager's Thoughts “Zinc & Fever are two exciting venues with huge potential to dominate Banbury’s nightlife scene. They’re already well known locally as the go-to late-night spots, but there’s a fantastic opportunity here for an ambitious operator to really make them their own. The layout gives you great flexibility — you could run two completely different club concepts under one roof, each appealing to a different crowd. With VIP booths, spacious dance floors, and the option to expand trading hours, there’s plenty of scope to grow the offer and drive consistent weekend trade. Banbury itself is a thriving town that’s continuing to develop, with a young, energetic audience and strong transport links bringing in people from surrounding areas. For someone passionate about entertainment, events, and nightlife, this is a brilliant chance to take on a flagship site and make a real mark.” Surrounding Area Banbury is a thriving market town in Oxfordshire, ideally positioned between Birmingham and London with excellent transport connections via the M40 and Banbury train station.
