CONTENTS Hello and welcome to the September issue of Venue Insight Magazine,
THE MUST HAVE publication for the UK hospitality industry.
Is it autumn yet? It appears not, how wonderful. As we hang onto the final throws of summer we can look ahead to the new season and festive frolics with optimism and excitement.
That must mean that we can mention Christmas then? Our friends at Lanchester Wines have done just that. Head of sales Mark Roberts has some simple advice; plan, plan, plan as much and as early as possible. You want your Christmas offerings to be something special and a real talking point so get ordering those Christmas specials now!
This month’s cover and Q&A stars are Celtic Marches. Producing craft cider from their family farm in Herefordshire. We get the lowdown from Collette Cumbes and find out what makes their cider and identity so very special.
Fireball continue their journey to make live music an absolute must at venues throughout the land. Poco Loco – one of the UK’s most hip underground venues, situated in the thriving Chatham Dockyard gets the treatment this time around. If you haven’t considered hosting live music events, performance poetry, jam sessions and open mic nights then this feature is sure to change your mind.
The start of the new university year is huge for venues up and down the country. WKD – the No.1 RTD for students provide a fantastic guide to nailing those all-important student nights. With a dedicated student team across 12 UK cities, help is at hand to make those events a roaring success.
We round off our coverage of Restaurant & Bar Tech Live – Europe’s leading event dedicated to the emerging technologies and services that are forming the future of the restaurant and bar industry. It’s an absolute must visit in order to drag your venue kicking and screaming into the modern world and to find out what the future holds for the hospitality sector.
We hope that you’ve had a fantastic summer and that that you start the new autumn season with a bang.
