Essex Chronicle commented New £2.5m Chelmsford nightclub Evoke to open next month
ONCE a haven for rock and roll greats, Chelmsford's iconic Chancellor Hall will reopen in two weeks as the Evoke nightclub.
With an ice bar, Japanese VIP lounge and an Ibiza-style dance floor, Evoke's creator Steve Webb is confident it will add sophistication to the city's night scene after the closure of Dukes, which had been synonymous with the city's nightlife for 30 years.

The dad-of-two, who has owned nightclubs throughout his career, also believes Evoke's pop and house rhythms will attract revellers from all over Essex.
Walking amid ladders and workbenches this week, the managing director of SJWebb Company Limited told the Chronicle: "It is about entertaining. I think a club is needed in Chelmsford; one that is going to bring a London club feel. This is going to be a nice club for nice people.
