A WIDELY popular nightclub in Essex has decided to close its doors for good this summer, after seven years of serving the county's clubbers.

Popworld, in Springfield Road, Chelmsford, plays the very best of pop classics and chart toppers from across the decades.

It has been a staple location for music and dance-lovers from all across Essex with iconic themed party nights and incredible DJs.

But the nightclub has now revealed it will be closing for good.

In an announcement on Facebook, a spokesman for the club said: "After nearly seven unforgettable years, we are deeply saddened to announce Popworld Chelmsford is officially closing its doors for the last time on August 2, 2025.

"Since opening in November 2018, we’ve shared countless memories with you – from the wild dancefloor moments to the iconic tunes, fancy dress, and everything in between.

"You’ve laughed with us, danced with us and created memories that will live on, far beyond our closing night.

"We want to extend a massive thank you to each and every one of you who has supported us over the years – whether you popped in for one night or made us part of your regular weekend ritual."

The club will host one final night of fun and music on August 2 to say goodbye to the well-loved establishment.

The spokesman said: "Bring the vibes. Bring your mates. Bring tissues (for happy tears… and tequila shots).

"Let’s give Popworld Chelmsford the farewell it deserves. It’s been emotional. It’s been messy. It’s been incredible!

"If you have a party planned with us, we will be in touch soon to discuss options with you. With love and endless gratitude, The Popworld Chelmsford Team."
