An iconic Huddersfield nightclub has announced it will soon close.
The team at Camel Club, based in John William Street, have taken to social media to announce the news. Many regulars have been left heartbroken by the decision.
On Facebook, a post from Camel Club, reads: ' Huddersfield. Thank you so much for the last 20 years. It has been an absolute pleasure and an incredibly crazy ride. This is the end of an era for us and the staff and I'm sure it will be for some of our customers too.

'Camel Club will be closing its doors on Saturday, July 12 - open from 10pm until you stop dancing, for one final night of hedonistic ridiculousness and fun to celebrate our time here. We really hope you can join us on this special night. We will remain open for our usual Friday and Saturday nights until then.
'Unfortunately the business has run its course and it's time for pastures new. Camel would like to thank everyone who has ever been to our pink and purple rave cave. It's been a passion and a pleasure to serve all our customers over the years.'
Additionally, the statement read: 'We've always been aware Camel is like Marmite, you either love it or you hate it and we thank you all because even if you hated it there was always that mate who ended up dragging you there. Whatever your thoughts on Camel Club we say thank you and we really mean that.'
Many regulars have been left heartbroken by the news. On Facebook, we saw James Hamer post: 'A minute of silence for all future 18-year-olds that can't experience a night out in Camel.'
Hayley Wilkinson added: 'There's no night out quite like a Camel Club night out.' Jessica Watson said: 'Thank you for all of the amazing nights.'
