Hello and welcome
to the June issue of Venue Insight Magazine, the MUST HAVE publication for the UK hospitality industry.
Summer is finally here! Let’s just hope and pray that the good weather sticks around and that the restrictions hanging over the country and hospitality sector in particular like a bad smell are lifted once and for all on the 21st June as planned.
Once again, it’s great to report on new venues and events that are popping up all over the place. Bingo Rave with Bingo Loco! For the first time ever, this worldwide brand is bringing epic throwback tunes, showers of confetti, outrageous performers and so much more to a major city near you this July. New club Glam throws open its doors in the ever trendy Shoreditch at the end of June, Farmfest welcomes festival goer’s to Somerset in July, Hackney Bridge comes to the party as East London’s newest cultural destination, Pop Brixton has reopened with free events and brand new street traders and Pete Tong headlines the UK’s biggest ever soul & reggae event at Platinum Weekender on the south coast in the middle of July.
Come back to what you know with PPL PRS. When the first step out of lockdown was implemented many businesses were unable to open due to a lack of outside space, and some took the hard decision to hold out until step two, when indoor entertaining could recommence. And now that time is in full flow! Check out some amazing tips on creating a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable establishment that will have your customers returning time and time again.
There’s a couple of cracking Q&A’s to get stuck into this month. We catch up with Trond Rornes, Founder and Director at CardsSafe – the system specifically designed to securely retain customer credit, debit and ID cards while the cardholder runs a tab or hires a product or service. Karl Hunter, Owner at HFE Signs tells us why they are the UK’s No.1 mail order signs, banners and digital print specialist and an absolute must for your branding.
Brockmans raises a glass to National Martini Day. If ever there was an excuse for a martini, this is it. Celebrate National Martini Day (19th June 2021) with two martinis that take your guests from tantalisingly classic pre-dinner cocktails through to late night elegance.
