The club will still be hosting its party for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee on Friday, June 3. It will open from 7pm until late, and there will be a singer and a comedian to provide entertainment.

They encouraged people to come down for what will be one of the club’s final nights, and hoped those in attendance would “make it a great night to remember.”
