Bristol Hospitality Picnic - Monday 1st July ‘24
I have been thinking about a way for us to connect outside our busy, fast-paced hospitality lives—just a pretext to get together, share a relaxing, convivial moment, and enjoy the company of those who work within or alongside the hospitality and wine trade.
Join us for a summer rendezvous, or simply a reason to see each other!
From 1:30 pm onwards at Victoria Park, Bristol (Nutgrove and Hill Ave side).
See you there!
