Bished nightclub set to reopen with party ‘in honour of Ibish’

Ibish opened circus-themed bar Bished in August in the former home of Rocco's in Prince of Wales Road.

Despite his passing, with the blessing of the Peri family, Bished will be bringing back Playground on Saturday which is one of the events he created.

The funfair event, which was first launched at Mercy, includes confetti, inflatable drops, live performances, pyrotechnics and more.

There will also be an east coast to west coast theme with tracks from The Notorious BIG and Tupac Shakur.

Zhyar Said, social media manager at Bished, said: 'We've been doing Playground at Bished and we are bringing it back on Saturday in honour of Ibish as we're pretty sure Ibish would have wanted it to carry on.

'He is the sort of person who would want the party to continue.

'It would be great for people who haven't made it to Bished for the memorial or vigil as it's another chance for people to come down and celebrate his life.'
