Another blow for entertainment with shock closure of Bistro Live in Milton Keynes

Wednesday, 4 February 2026 12:27

MKFM understands that Bistro Live, the entertainment space in the based in the CBX building, has ceased trading.

The Milton Keynes business has closed, together with its other two sites in Birmingham and Nottingham.

The business had been placed into administration in October 2025, but was sold and continued operations.

Only yesterday, Bistro Live's social media urged people to book for a night out, making this news all the more unexpected.

"I am so gutted - so many of my big life events have been held there," one regular visitor told MKFM.

We have contacted the company for comment and will update in due course.
