the concept of a raver-friendly after-party venue with accomodation isn’t a bad one, but TBH I’m sure that events were held in country club/hotel type places back in the early 90s…eventually though the cops cottoned on to the fact that here was a big venue in the middle of nowhere where people were caning bare drugs, and the places got busted big time…

Because of this laws have changed and it would be commercial suicide to do it today.

Cops can put a closure order on your business the moment they can prove that drug use is being permitted in the place, or there is any suspicion that drugs money is being used to fund anything.

Everything from hairdressers to second-hand computer shops has been turned over this way using these new laws (part of the anti-social behaviour legislation).
