Rightmove: The Grange nightclub in Darlington up for sale

The Grange, on Wellington Court Mews, off Grange Road, revealed at the start of August that it would be closing with "immediate effect" after the owners stepped away from the venue - saying that "lots of memories" had been made at The Grange. 

In an online statement, owners Gayle Summersall and David Storer noted that, due to retirement and another business partner wanting to close the bar, The Grange wouldn't be re-opening its doors.

"Fifteen years of hard graft and a lot of money invested on our part. It’s a sad day.

Lots of memories and good friends made along the way, but will see you all downtown as usual.

Noted as a place for local nightlife in Darlington, the place was famed for its outside bar, three-floor nightclub and bar, while also running a range of events from cocktail classes to Christmas wreath making.
