The Cumbrian nightspots we went to in the noughties!

This December CFM wants to take you back to relive the noughties with a great night out at Walkabout in Carlisle. Freedom Noughties is happening on Friday 6th December hosted by CFM's Pete Moss and with special guests N-Trance performing and DJing on the night. You can get tickets here.

To get us in the mood for heading back to the noughties, let's look back at some of the places we'd be found throwing some shapes in during the decade:

1 Buskers Throughout the 90s and early 00s Buskers was the most popular nightclub in Carlisle. Many a Friday and Saturday night were spent attempting to lift your feet from the sticky carpets. After owner Ged Crooks sold Buskers in 2004 it was renamed The Village.

2 Mood Botchergate enjoyed a revival in the late 90s starting with Woodrow Wilson and the VIllage Cinema opening. Then came Mood which first opened as a nightclub downstairs and a restaurant upstairs. At one point it even had a separate R&B room. At its height, Mood pulled in thousands of customers each week and it would often take an eternity to get served at the circular bar. The building is currently occupied by nightclub 'The Bomb Shelter'.

3 Fusion Workington's Fusion nightclub on Ladies Walk had quite a high profile on the UK dance scene in the 00s and regularly attracted some big name DJs and acts such as Basement Jaxx, N-Trance and Sash! The club closed in June 2008 after the company which ran it went into administration

4 Twisted Wheel It opened in 1970 as the Pink Panther, but was renamed to the Twisted Wheel four years later, and was one of the longest running venues in Carlisle, ‘The Wheel’, as it was affectionately known, was famous for its rock, metal and indie nights – and 50p shots. There was many a sore neck the morning after following a night of head-banging. It closed in 2008.

5 Gallachers Bar Through the late 90s and 00s, Gallachers on Tangier Street was one of the most popular places to go for a night out in Whitehaven. The club eventually closed its doors for the final time in August 2011.

6 Blues A cheaper night out than Toppers round the corner, Blues nightclub claimed to be Penrith’s No. 1 Nightspot. Often quite a squeeze on busy nights, but the mirrors made it look bigger than it actually was. You could enter Blues at the age of 16 but would get branded with a cross so they knew not to serve you alcohol. Nights regularly closed with the ‘Happy Days’ theme tune.

7 Terminal 1 Opened in 2006 alongside a sports bar and Rouge, Terminal 1 featured two clubs: Studio 54, playing mainly disco, and the Helsinki Ice Room where you went for your fix of dance and R&B. It closed in 2010 when it was absorbed into the Las Vegas Strip

8 Club XS Do you remember queuing up in West Walls for a night out at Club XS? It opened in 2002 and, with its white interior and multi-coloured dance floor, was one of Carlisle’s most popular night spots in the 00s before closing in 2008.

9 Freedom After decades of being the Pagoda, the nightclub tucked away on Lancaster Street became Freedom in the early 00s. It closed a couple of years later before the building was taken over by Edenside Carpets in 2003.

10 The Park The popular Whitehaven nightspot closed in the mid-noughties . If you went, you might remember the ‘fishbowl’ and the pole inside which many would have a go dancing around after one or two alcopops
