Government calls ‘last orders’ on red tape choking pubs, clubs, and restaurants in major boost to the British night out Outside dining and later opening hours on the menu as government backs British pubs, clubs and restaurants with moves to slash burdensome red tape in the hospitality sector.

Excited to share that I’ve been invited to join the new Licensing Policy Taskforce

We’ll be making recommendations to help shape a licensing system that better supports culture, community and the night.

Proud to bring Bristol’s voice to the table.

This is so cool!

It’s a pity they couldn’t find an extra 5 dimensions tho, then the answer truly would be 42.

Happy Solstice 🙌✨

Aka “bootykins”

Only now? He’ll fall out of favour before too long. Echos of Caligula

I hear you. Hoovered the stairs and had to stop myself from completely tearing up the carpet. Not today’s quest. 😆

Research Raves For our last SEED of the year, we explore why brands are throwing raves and ask what kind of research can emerge from these spaces of ecstatic participation?

This is such an interesting read. History always repeats itself. Back in the late 90s early 00s many events were brand sponsored. With the rise of the internet, nightlife lost big time on this money as brands preferred ownership of their audiences. Full circle?

Iconic city nightclub to close and be split into two new venues The venue will shut for a big refurbishment from New Year's Eve

£2.5m is being invested into this venues redevelopment to allow it to be more flexible to the needs of nightlife in the city. An amazing a vote of confidence for Bristols night time economy. Can’t wait to see what Pryzm do with the place 🥳

Yes France! Ministry of Culture recognises Nightclubs as Cultural Actors ✊

I long for the day that British Electronic Music gets the same recognition as a valuable cultural asset, with the same cultural tax relief as Theatre, Orchestras and Museums

One day…. 🤞

Last great Xmas song was RATM ✊

Totally made up with this news! We've worked so hard to bring nightlife together, create joy around tricky topics, whilst creating safer spaces. Its just wonderful to be recognised internationally for the work the Bristol Nights community does.

Great end to 2024. It's really lifted our spirits 💓.

Hand holding glue gun

A story of my evening, in three parts. Looking forward to every one of these meeting their new owner tomorrow.

Made from recycled & waste materials, laser cut in Bristol. Cheaper than the usual lanyards. Reusable for future events. Every one hand made.

Together, we design the night. 🙌

Fabulous work from @randallwhite.bsky.social and his tireless dedication to uplifting the global nightlife movement.

All of these deserve a follow 🙌

Bristol is more than a city that comes alive after dark, it's a community, a culture, and a place worth celebrating and protecting.

Motion's future hangs in the balance An opinion piece from Carly Heath

Motion is an anchor in Bristol's nightlife, yet we might lose it because the land may be sold from under their feet. My heart broke today.

The need to protect nightlife culture and safeguard it for the future has never been more acute.

A Ticket to the Future

We believe the Bristol Music Fund will have the power to transform music in Bristol for generations.

Our proposals go beyond simply creating a music fund – it is a new economic model, rooted in community power.

My toxic trait is getting 95% through writing an email, forgetting to press send, and then getting stroppy about why I haven’t had a response yet.

Why is it always the bus you’re running late on that they change the drivers? 🫠
