The infamous nightclub, dubbed the “Palace of Dreams”, is facing a potential closure after the interest on a bank loan has increased to 35%, as reported in the Daily Echo. In the face of financial crisis, the nightclub has opened a gofundme with a target of £200,000, giving students the chance to “give back” for the moments they have enjoyed at Jesters. However, despite the grave description of the financial situation by Jesters itself, the exact quantities of how much may be needed to keep Jesters afloat are not clear. Jesters has been institutionalised in the UoS nightlife scene, having been a student staple since it opened in 1989. Despite this, over the last year the nightclub has come under competition to be the designated Wednesday sports club social spot from “Fishies”, a student events organisation at District nightclub, formally Switch.
