A big welcome
to issue seven.
There’s a yellow ball in the sky, an extra spring in
everyone’s steps, and a new issue of The Fold is
out for your perusing pleasure. Here’s a summery
summary of what’s to follow.
As seasoned hospitality pros, we like to keep an eye
on new trends. On page 5, we highlight the boom
in solo travel and how one-person wanderers will
昀椀nd much to love in our pubs. Turn over and read
about the growing love of cosy winter weddings
(no, we didn’t print this article in the wrong issue).
Keep reading, and you’ll learn about the phenomenon
known as ‘bleisure’ – we’ll let you discover what
that’s all about on page 11.
If you’re dreaming of your next pub stay, on page 10,
we present our latest perk-laden packages,
with a couple especially created for boojie spring
and summer breaks.
Okay, now you’ve been introduced, you can become
intimately acquainted over the next thirteen pages.
But, before you begin, we just had to mention
a handful of wonderful things our pubs have been
up to over the last year in support of charities
and local communities.
As well as loads of local fundraising, we made
some great all-pubs-in differences. 3,583 coats
were collected for the Wrap Up London
campaign this winter. £10,000 was raised for
Medical Lifelines Ukraine to fund a life-saving
ambulance. And £305,000 was raised for
the children’s rugby charity, Wooden Spoon.
