Warehouse Project and Parklife boss Sacha Lord is launching a city-wide happy hour at venues across Manchester this summer. Manchester’s night time economy advisor to Mayor Andy Burnham is hoping that the plan, called the ‘Hospitality Hour’, will help to fill venues across the region’s 10 boroughs by offering an hour of free drinks.
He’s also wanting to thank the people of the city for their continuing support of the hospitality business over the tough times of the pandemic. The first Hospitality Hour is set to take place at the soon-to-opened Adelphi Lads Club in Salford this Sunday (June 26). The free drinks will flow from 5pm to 6pm.
Speaking about the plans, Lord said: “This is all about getting together and thanking the people of Greater Manchester for their support over the past two and a half years. 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.
