Abandoned Karma Nightclub Plymouth ... QUITE INTACT

[@AmbientWanderer]

Yeah, great memories from this place! I used to go raving there when it was called The Candy Store. it was one of my regulars from around 1999-2002. Weird seeing it like this...

[@coreyhughes7627]

Opened this veuue in 2000 as Zanzibar Plymouth, was the Deputy GM. Spent 2 years there before going back to Zanzibar Newport, South Wales. Fantastic video, the office with the pink small Helium Canister was my office, the desk is still in the same place lol. Sad to see the venue looking in a state but delighted to see the old venue again, I knew every room you went in. Great memories :-) Simon Hughes

[@Charlenefromneighbours]

Loved it as Zanzibar! Great club

[@tita777]

Candy Store was THE BEST nightclub ever!!! Xxx

[@rwalker9644]

Old dj and past installer of nightclubs - this brought back memorys /. I wonder why the ceilings of those places where always so low ? Then someone would want a mega ball or summit fitted lol - always enjoy your vids cheers Rob

[@karenhoyle9182]

I recognise it from years ago also. Pretty sure it was called Fiesta 🤣👍🍻

[@mrcrazyjonpresents4312]

mid to late 80s

[@karenhoyle9182]

@@mrcrazyjonpresents4312 definitely I was a cheeky teenager lol 👍 Glad someone else remembers....👍🍻🌈

I used to go there when it was the Fiesta Suite with Snobs above in the 70’s..many a great night was had on the dance floor and the DJ box was to the right of the stage ..James Francis Junior was the Resident DJ then.

[@andygiles4036]

Gary Lyons in snobs!!! been hard work...jims sign off tune

[@burtcocain2]

Wow,got some really great memories of that place when it was the candy store back in the late 1990’s....great times😁😁

[@fusionlad]

Blast from the past. Was trying to work out which was Ritzy and which was Powerhouse. Looked as though they made the Ritzy side into a very ordinary looking dance floor.

[@spike7269]

it's sad to see so many nightclubs shut down and after covid the will be lots more

[@mrcrazyjonpresents4312]

this place has struggled with every club that came in it after the Ritzy people moved out of it 1997 Since 2003 other than 3 years it was Karma/K2 this building has been sat empty

[@justinthewoods.1394]

I remember seeing Danny at Bristols Lakota years ago... some dam good times.. awesome video Matt...

[@kennethbarker852]

1st class video to watch thank you take care😄 kind regards from me kenneth❤❤❤👍

[@ev1lism]

Have to wonder how many newly abandoned nightclubs will exist post covid, good for explorers but a sad day none the less

[@Urbanlad-Yorkshire]

Cool video buddy as always looks like you all had fun 😀

[@cooltools007]

Evening everyone , nice to see you out and about matty ! OPEN THE VAULTS !😉😎😎😎😎YOU ,BAD,BAD , .......... MO-FO

[@kaneburgoyne2369]

Yes was fiesta , roller skating on a Saturday morning

[@tita777]

It’s so sad to see! When this place was Candy Store it was the most amazing place on the earth, magical! Room 1 Hard House/Trance, Room 2 Funky House either beautiful purple and leopard print decor and drapes (my favourite room). Room 3 chill out room upstairs! Went here religiously every Saturday.. strange to see posters advertising Wurzels in there and food for sale, you wouldn’t have wanted food when I went there.. I wish someone would restore it back to its former glory. Sadly the super club days are gone 😢

[@tita777]

Definitely

[@leedavies9309]

great explore matt,,,, thought u might have shown some of ur dance moves

[@bigbaggieboy]

I used to go there in the 80s when it was known as fiesta. Student night on a Thursday. Thanks guys.

[@MrDjphil1976]

Brilliant vid great humour as a former dj of the Berkeley nightclub in Camborne I knew the club inside out and had taken photos of it when closed back in 2009 it's on Facebook Berkeley page tribute page. Great work guys.

[@andysimkin5200]

This explore really made me chuckle! Cheers Matt and gang 😀

[@jackdaw6873]

Evening Matt and All

[@ExploringWithKev]

Great explore Matt I really enjoyed this one 👌🙌👏👏👏

[@g7puw]

pissed myself laughing when you let that co2 off at the lads ,the very same thing i love to do dude .epic explore by the way

[@TheExplorerReturns]

Fantastic video mate, video quality is brilliant.

[@russellpetrie119]

im starting to wonder if the night club is nigh now with covid and what next for these places

[@mattperrin8372]

I've seen a lot of those djs who were on that poster playing out elsewhere lol.

[@Althekeys]

1992 was my probable last visit. It was pretty much as you see it, many a night spent spinning shapes to soft rave and dance floor classics, I remember once the fire alarms went off and the whole building evacuated over some (now long gone) steel fire escapes which landed on the top of the multistorey (also long gone) carpark......

[@MosherMike]

Lived here over 12 years and this is the first time I've seen inside this place. Fascinating! More Chernobyl than Plymouth...

[@scottybee8]

I think iv seen a preview of this on one of your recent live looking forward to seeing this one RIP pigeons 🪦 Matt with the fire extinguisher 🧯😂 Safe travels Matt

[@kernow..exp.]

Greetings Matt hope you're good mate sending greetings from Cornwall

[@Dooohicky]

Is there many places to go down here?

[@jlfoxsten4627]

Blue plasters can be identified by metal detectors. They're usually used where food is prepared, so any in the food can be detected.

[@pikeonatrike]

That stella glass your mate picked up is ancient. I have the same glass from about 10 yr ago . Pint glass with a stem. And the blue plasters are for kitchen use so they cant be lost in food

[@g7puw]

when you did your double barreled snot gun at 39.42 it made my littlun jump lol

[@richardperry8774]

That was class that with the Fire Extinguisher 😉

[@37stuey]

Went when it was Cany store, Miss Moneypennys nights were sound. Went again after Academy shut

[@lucythemoggy1970]

I went there when it was fiesta roller arena and again when it was ritzys nightclub

[@deancurtis995]

The co2 bottles are different colours as you get different percentages of gas , theres so many different variations of co2 pub gas worked at air products Cardiff for years

[@shaunkelly9860]

I played on that stage a lot back when it was The Fiesta. Shame to see it in this state

[@blagdon2263]

i was lucky to perform here when it was called karma ,, the night was innovation ,

[@stinkletoes8285]

Cold...lol!

[@theknowledgewithin6514]

[@marktraum9139]

[@richardwarnock2789]

[@Urbanexboi]

[@Tyler.i.81]

I remember break dancing to the werzols epic.

[@Jckzy]

[@markhawkins7908]

This place used to be a roller/ice skating rink called fiesta then Ritzy one room candystore other and r&b top floor previously to karma it was zanzibar excuse the spelling

[@mrcrazyjonpresents4312]

It was called Pilgrimage for a short period of time as well The place was leased by the owners of the Monastery Nightclub after it was shut in 2002

[@willstonvelo8100]

Mines a pint

[@scottenigma5894]

Don’t forget a strobe warning at 11:10 ⚠️ great video though

[@ChefBenG]

An unsavoury name spelt out on the bar. Have the Westbury Manor neighbors been exploring and claimed this as their own property?........... 😆😆

[@richards091]

Showtime Hahaha.
