HEREFORD'S biggest nightclub is under new ownership.
Play nightclub, previously owned by Billy Reynolds, has been sold to the UK's largest club and bars operator, The Deltic Group, for an undisclosed sum.
The company said it plans to continue trading the 1,000 capacity club in Blueschool Street, in its current format.
Commenting on the acquisition Deltic Groups chief financial officer said "Tactical acquisitions have always been a key part of our strategy and Play fits well with our existing portfolio.
"Hereford is a thriving country city and we're looking forward to working with the team to further develop the business."
Dan Guerche, general manager at Play, said he is excited by the prospect of working with the largest nightclub operator in the country.
"The new concepts and entertainment buying power will be something Hereford has not seen in some time," he added.
