Night & Day Cafe noise abatement hearing adjourned till later in 2023

served the noise abatement order in November 2021 from a new resident who had moved to the city during lockdown.Despite months of petitioning and fundraising for the venue and messages of support from acts local to or with strong connections to Manchester including Elbow’s Guy Garvey and The 1975’s Matty Healy, Night & Day remains in danger of closure due to a planning file for the redevelopment of a nearby building.Although a noise abatement order isn’t grounds to shut a venue down, it could be subject to seizure of sound equipment, fines and potential prosecution.

These alone would be enough to shut down Night & Day for good.Now, the venue has returned to court to continue appealing the noise abatement order.

It was expected that the judge would decide whether to uphold or drop the notice, with the venue anticipating to hear the judge’s decision sometime after.According to reports, Night & Day and Manchester City Council have continued to disagree on noise levels.

Night & Day want the noise abatement notice to be dropped completely, while the council want to amend the existing notice to allow for music and bass at certain levels.There was then further disagreement over how loud the maximum noise levels should be.
