Shrewsbury Buttermarket asking price slashed

A former Shrewsbury nightclub which was put up for sale earlier this year has had its price slashed.

The Buttermarket, a huge nightclub based over three floors in Howard Street, was placed on the market for £385,000 in March.

Now, after no buyer was found, the price has been dropped to £325,000 with chartered surveyors Towler Shaw Roberts.

Currently, planning regulations dictate that the building must be used as a nightclub, although changes to those regulations are possible.

    That’s very little but I assume you would have to spend a fortune on the building.

    Some great times were had at the Buttermarket but I guess every dog has it’s day and the Buttermarket has had it’s.

    I assume the Mean Fiddler and Carling Academy chains have been approached. They’ve probably calculated that due to the exceptionally high number of morons and X-Factor victims in this town who can’t see past dance music culture that the town doesn’t deserve a live music venue. Who could argue with them?

    Butter Market could make a fantastic venue. But not just as a Night club.
    We held a couple of ShrewsburyCAMRA Beerfests here after Music Hall closed but now needs lots of TLC and investment.
    Cant see it happening.
    Cheers.

    Good venue for local beerfests but needs mega investment. Understand wiring has been stripped out!!
