Owned by Sin City nightclub proprietor Gary Lulham since October 2021, Jam Jar would see regular gigs and performances aimed at an over 25+ market with music such as jazz, blues and Mowtown regularly experienced by listeners.
The hot spot half-way down the town’s High Street would also be a popular ambient venue for couples and friends to enjoy food and drink.
Despite it’s popularity Mr Lulham though feels he has had no choice but to close the venue due to increasing rates and operational costs.
“It is with a heavy heart and formidable sadness that we announce the immediate closure of The Jam Jar,” the post explained.
“Unfortunately, due to rising operational costs, the impending increase in business rates, turbulent trading trends and a frankly senseless, illogical and unreasonable electricity contract forced upon us, it has been deemed that the most responsible course of action for the company is to cease trading this week.
“We would like to extend our thanks to the incredible staff, customers and artists who have made The Jam Jar such a wonderful and incredible place to have drink, unwind and spend time enjoying the company of others over the last three years.
“We do not leave bitter, but instead, in the spirit in which we opened, thankful to have spent time in your wonderful company and to have been given the opportunity to try something a little different and we hope, memorable.
“This isn’t goodbye forever, we hope. But it is farewell for now…
“Thank You to Everyone Who Came, Played, Drank and Quizzed.”
