April 1st cost increases are hitting the Night Time Economy hard. Despite busy venues, 7 in 10 businesses are losing money or just breaking even. Rising taxes, energy and staffing costs are pushing the sector back into fragility. Busy does not mean profitable.

Great to attend the UK Music launch of the Black Music Means Business report at Speaker’s House, a real milestone.
Busy day ahead with HELA, IOH, a podcast with Brandon Block, and a catch-up with the International Nightlife Association. #NightTimeEconomy
Lots of political noise, little clarity for the night-time economy. Immigration uncertainty means ongoing staffing pressure, while global tensions risk higher energy costs. For venues already on tight margins, it’s more instability and fewer answers.

“This level of uncertainty is mental torture for thousands.”
Leaked briefings, no policy. Clubs, venues, theatres, bars — not just pubs — face 50–200% rate hikes with no clarity to plan. This isn’t neutral. It’s doing real harm.

It’s not ‘just pubs.’ Nightlife bosses warn business rates will rise avg 76%, with some venues facing 100–200% hikes by April 2026. Without action, jobs, culture & independent venues are at risk. Act for the whole sector.
