Music Venues Trust - Own Our Venues 2025 crowdfunder

Here is a thing that may well be of interest.

https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/own-our-venues

Many on here will probably be familiar with the Music Venues Trust. They have a charitable Community Benefit Society - Music Venues Properties - that was set up to purchase the actual properties music venues use. This is really good, as most venues are tenants.

They bought a bunch of buildings a few years ago and they have launched a fresh round of crowd funding with the aim of buying the buildings hosting seven more.

To be clear - this is an investment opportunity, the value of your investment may go up or down etc etc. I am not involved in this crowd funder or any of the venues that would benefit if this is funded, I am simply flagging here as it is something people on here are likely to be interested in.

do you know which ones they bought out previously? sounds cool, exactly the sort of thing I’d want to do if I became an overnight multi multi millionaire

never mind, just read further down

Was going to share this but wasn’t sure where to do so - especially for the fao of Bristol folks as the Croft(ers Rights) is on the list. Would be great to get that place back up and running.
