Venue Insight Magazine - June 2019 Issue OUT NOW
Here we go then, British summertime. With an incredible summer of sport on the horizon it’s sure to be a lucrative time for venues and bars throughout the land. If the weather is even half as good as it was last summer then we’re in for a real treat.
Do you remember the first time? The first time you saw live music that is. It’s a magical thing and our friends over at PPL PRS talk about the importance of live music and how vital it is to venues.
We bring you an EXCLUSIVE from one of the most well-known and coolest venues on earth; Ministry of Sound. We caught up with Nikki Gordon - Head of Talent & Marketing at the legendary London club. He is responsible for the club's recent change in direction towards international headline bookings. Find out what keeps this place at the top of the pile.
Imbibe Live, the UK’s leading on-trade drinks event, will return to Olympia London, this July to mark its 10th anniversary with trailblazing seminars and unique tasting opportunities. Join thousands of hospitality professionals 1st – 2nd July for a truly great event.
Brockmans, the gin ‘like no other’ serve up their Summer Punch. The classic Punch has had a renaissance in recent years and now is the ideal time to enjoy this refreshing celebration of fruits and gin. Not only does it taste amazing but it’s easy to create and is an attractive option for large groups of guests.
It’s time to give your outdoor space a spruce up. The Summer Outdoor Leisure Exhibition (SOLEX) opens its doors at the NEC 9th – 11th July. Packed with the latest designs in garden furniture, outdoor lighting, barbeques, gazebos, parasols and outdoor play equipment it’s not to me missed if you’re looking to keep your punters happy during the long and hazy evenings.
Here’s hoping for a great summer in the on-trade.
Cheers
