UNDER-21s may be banned from nude shows planned by a Worthing club, if it gets a licence to run the events.

The Liquid Lounge, in Chatsworth Road, has applied to run erotic entertainment at its ground-floor Le Chic bar, including lap dancing and pole dancing.

James Lanz, general manager of the Liquid Lounge, told the Herald: "We are aiming at the 'Adonis cabaret-style' show for ladies and tasteful nude and semi-nude dancers for men.

"This has worked very well, trouble-free, in many other towns.

"This will, of course, be run very strictly for members only and for over-18s, or possibly over-21s."

The application is due to be heard by borough licensing councillors at Worthing Town Hall on March 27.

Sussex Police is having further discussions with the Liquid Lounge management before deciding whether or not to object.
