We Did It - 1.5 Million Raised Through Successful Own Our Venues Campaign

Thanks to thousands of passionate music fans, artists, venue teams and investors, we’ve successfully hit the Own Our Venues campaign target of £1.5 million, just hours before the deadline for the campaign bringing some of the UK’s most vital grassroots music venues one step closer to permanent, community ownership.

This isn’t just a milestone for Music Venue Properties. It’s a win for every artist who played their first gig on these stages, every fan who found their people in these rooms, and every venue team that refused to give up.

We now have almost 2,500 co-owners, united by a belief that live music should be protected.

Thank you to everyone who invested, and to all our partners and supporters who stood with us. We are so proud to have reached this target and to share this success with you.

What Happens Next?

• All new investors will be submitted for admission to the society at our next Directors' meeting.

• We aim to issue new share certificates by the end of the year.

• Behind the scenes, we’re already progressing to the next stage: leveraging additional funds, carrying out further due diligence, and assessing the next venue acquisitions.

It’s another big step forward, as together, we’re building a future where grassroots venues are not just saved, but safeguarded for generations to come and where we Own Our Venues together.
