Derby escape room plans get green light

Plans for a new escape room venue in Derby’s Cathedral Quarter have been given the green light by the City Council.

The Escape Room Guys is the current tenant on the first floor of 1-5 Iron Gate.

It will now redevelop the remaining space in the building from offices into an escape room venue.

A planning statement from The Escape Room Guys reads: “We’re only renting half the current floor space but have agreed terms to expand and take on the next area providing planning permission is approved.

“The build will continue on from the style already implemented in the changes made to the currently occupied side of 1-5 Iron Gate.

“We propose to update the layout to give a modern vibe. All the changes we propose to make are internal and won’t have an effect on the outside aesthetics of the building.”

The Escape Room Guys currently operates one room in Derby.
