Local business people Kelly and Carl Downs are preparing to welcome party-goers to the new-look Karisma for a spectacular 'Re-birth weekend' kicking off on Friday.

Marketing and PR director Kelly Downs said: "We have decided that the basic layout of the place is great. We are however completely refurbishing the club and adding a modern touch to the place. We are investing heavily in the state of the art sound and lighting systems and will have some brand new things never seen in a club north of London.

"We also have a quite a few other things that we want to keep secret until we actually open."

Tickets, priced at £5 for Friday and £6 for Saturday are available from midday to 2pm at the downstairs reception of Karisma, Duke Street, until Sunday

The club will have a 20-plus age limit for Friday and Saturday nights, with an 18 plus policy during the week.
