Important Update from The Queens Academy

It is with great sadness that, due to circumstances beyond our control, The Queens Academy has had to close its doors fo the last time.

We know this will come as disappointing news to some, and unfortunately this means all of our August events will be cancelled. We sincerely apologise to everyone who was looking forward to attending and appreciate your understanding during this difficult time. All refunds for events will be processed as soon as possible

The good news is that we are already in discussions with another venue and are working hard to secure a new home for The Queens Academy as soon as possible. While nothing is confirmed just yet, we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to reopen in a new location very soon.

We’d like to thank every single person who has supported us over the past months. The incredible community you’ve helped create is the reason we’re determined to come back stronger than ever.

Please bare with us while we work behind the scenes. We’ll share updates as soon as we have something to announce.

This isn’t goodbye—it’s simply the start of our next chapter.

Many thanks for all the memories you helped create with us.

With love from Darren, Richard, and all our wonderful staff. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️❤️❤️

Sad to say we won't be doing this today or our grassroots event tomorrow, due to issues with our tenancy. Gutted isn't even the word 😩💔

Unfortunately due to circumstances out of our control, we have been notified by the venue that our show at The Queens Academy will not be going ahead this Friday

Refunds will be automatically refunded to all ticket holders and stay tuned for more announcements in due course 🔥
