A huge new independent live music venue for Crewe has delayed opening until later in 2023 - ensuring the project works 'for all parties.'

The International live music venue, events space and bar was set to open at the former MMU refectory, at the site of Apollo Buckingham Health Sciences Campus, off Crewe Green Road, this May.

Work has been going on the site since July 2022 - just a 10-minute walk from Crewe Railway Station and opposite Crewe Business Park.

This month (February), The International provided an update - confirming its Crewe opening had been postponed until later in the year.

An Instagram statement read: "Unfortunately, it now appears our grand opening will be delayed until later in the year.
