Popular Chinese restaurant returning to nightclub opening soon

A nightclub in Old Town will once again become a Chinese restaurant with popular local venue set to return. Swindon Rendezvous owner Alan Mok first opened a restaurant at Hooper's Place, Old Town, in 2016, as the restaurant by day and Tree nightclub by night. Speaking to the Swindon Adver at the time, Alan said: 'Everything we do, I want to make a statement. "When people come in I want them to have a wow feeling."

Almost 10 years on from Swindon Rendezvous' first move to Old Town, it's set to return this summer. Signage advertising the grand opening appeared on the former Tree nightclub earlier this year, along with symbols representing the Chinese New Year animals decorating the sides of the building.

"We are delighted to announce that Swindon Rendezvous will be relocating to a stunning new home at 2 Hooper Place, Swindon SN1 3RA (former Tree Nightclub) opening in Summer 2025.

"We look forward to welcoming you to this new chapter, where every detail has been thoughtfully curated to enhance your experience." Swindon Rendezvous has been sharing updates about their progress on social media, with the rooftop terrace already attracting a lot of excitement. They have confirmed that the venue will be fully accessible for wheelchair users with a lift and multiple access points. "Step into a world where tradition meets luxury – Swindon's ultimate hotspot for unforgettable nights and elevated flavours", their latest post reads. They are yet to confirm an opening date for the restaurant. It is understood that the site at 11 Theatre Square in the town centre will close when the Old Town venue opens. Meanwhile, Tree Nightclub, which was formerly based in the building, has remained closed after its last dance in December 2023. The site then suffered a significant fire in May 2024 and it was placed on sale one month later for £1.8 million before that sale was ended.
