Greater Manchester’s Night-Time Economy Advisor Sacha Lord has announced the drinks are on him thanks to his new ‘Hospitality Hour’ scheme.
To thank the people of Greater Manchester for supporting the hospitality industry in the wake of the Covid pandemic, venues across the region’s ten boroughs will be offering an hour of free drinks.
“This is all about getting together and thanking the people of Greater Manchester for their support over the past two and a half years” says Sacha.
“As a city region, we suffered tougher restrictions than any other during the pandemic, and now with the difficult economic environment, our operators are once again at the precipice of closure. It’s about time I bought everyone a pint, and what better way than to launch a summer hospitality hour across our ten boroughs. I’m looking forward to being at each one to personally thank landlords and staff and the punters who have kept our sector going.”
Free drinks for revellers will begin this Sunday June 26th, at Salford’s Adelphi Lads Club on North George Street between 5pm and 6pm.
Callum Broom, co-owner and operator of the Adelphi Lads Club, the first venue for Sacha Lord’s ‘Hospitality Hour’ campaign, said “We are delighted to be the first venue for Sacha's Manchester Hospitality Hour this Sunday and hope to see as many people down here as possible.
“The past two years have been the most challenging of our industry, and his continued support and championing of the city-region has been invaluable, and this is a great way to give back those who have supported us all through this time.”
With the fine weather set to continue into the weekend the Adelphi Lads Club open from 2pm on Sunday with music by Mas O Menos - a record label born to encourage a cultural and musical exchange between the UK and South-Africa - seeing the weekend out in style.
Dates and locations for Hospitality Hours throughout July and August will be revealed on Sacha Lord’s Twitter feed.
