Families arranging simchahs this year have suffered a blow with the closures of three popular party venues.

The Kensington Roof Gardens and Gilgamesh, both in London, closed this month, and Bushey Country Club, in Hertfordshire, is due to shut down in April.

Virgin, which has operated the Roof Gardens since the early 1980s, told the JC that said that the decision to close had been taken “in the face of unpredictable market conditions and a challenge to remain profitable”.

A spokesperson said that “all deposits have been returned to guests and agents” and that no bookings were taken after the decision to close was reached in December.
