LOCAL promoters Rockbitch have taken over the running of Sanctuary in London Street.
The venue plays host to a wide variety of local music nights.
The Rockbitch team announced the news on their Facebook page, saying: "Dell has done such an ace job bringing a dedicated alternative/live venue to Basingstoke.
"But we now have a new team at the helm of Sanctuary - which consists of some familiar faces. Jon/Simon from Rockbitch Music and Zoe are taking over the lease - with a bundle of help from Alex Baker and the rest of the Rockbitch team.
"We're going to keep the ethos of the place pretty much the same. Great live bands. Great parties - but will be making a couple of improvements over the next few months."
