The people who make our night time economy, hospitality and drinks sectors thrive are also the people who often face some of the toughest challenges behind the scenes.

That’s why we’re proud to be supporting Walk It Together 2026 alongside Ask For Clive and The Drinks Trust.

This September, hospitality professionals, operators, suppliers, venues and supporters will come together to walk 14 miles of purpose, raising vital funds for The Drinks Trust and the incredible work they do supporting people across our sector.

📍 Manchester – 25th September 2026

Whether you work in hospitality, nightlife, events, drinks, entertainment or simply want to support an industry that brings people together every day, we’d love you to join us.

Our sectors are built on community, connection and looking after one another. This is an opportunity to do exactly that.

💛 Walk with colleagues
💛 Raise funds for an important cause
💛 Show your support for the people behind our industry
💛 Be part of something bigger

Remembrance Sunday! A reflection of my past as my father served in the armed forces for 26 years.. a massive part of my life travelling around the world..timely as I arrived back from Sydney Australia this morning after a full week of conferencing and liaison with Australian state and federal government on how they are approaching the sector.. lots to share!! But today I remember …

Following somewhat of a punishing travel itinerary, I was privileged after getting off a plane at 6.30am this morning in Sydney to join a panel of nightlife governance, to then have the privilege of speaking to state ministers and senior officials on governance of NTE at the Sydney Opera House Board room.. huge privilege! Then to an amazing event at the Oriana looking out over the Opera House, amazing food, amazing company… Thank you to the NTIA Australia!!

Looking forward to speaking at the National Training Conference 2026 in Stratford-upon-Avon this November, bringing the night-time economy into the conversation and sharing insights with industry colleagues from across the country. Hold the date 18–20 November - Crowne Plaza Stratford-upon-Avon - #NTC2026 #NightTimeEconomy #NTIA
