Sacha Lord launches ‘happy hour’ with free drinks across Greater Manchester
We’ll drink to that!
Sacha Lord has unveiled plans for a region-wide ‘happy hour’, with free drinks at a number of Greater Manchester venues across the summer.
It is hoped that the plan, named ‘Hospitality Hour’, will fill up venues across the ten boroughs by offering an hour of free drinks.
The Night time Economy Advisor is also launching the scheme as a way to thank the people of Greater Manchester for continuing to support the hospitality industry in the wake of the Covid pandemic.
Speaking of 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.
“It’s about time I bought everyone a pint, and what better way than to launch a summer hospitality hour across our ten boroughs.

“I’m looking forward to being at each one to personally thank landlords and staff and the punters who have kept our sector going.”
The first Hospitality Hour is set to take place at the newly-reopened Adelphi Lads Club in Salford this Sunday, June 26th, where free drinks will flow from 5pm to 6pm.
Callum Broom, co-owner and operator of the Adelphi Lads Club, said: “We are delighted to be the first venue for Sacha’s Manchester Hospitality Hour this Sunday and hope to see as many people down here as possible.
“The past two years have been the most challenging of our industry, and his continued support and championing of the city-region has been invaluable, and this is a great way to give back those who have supported us all through this time.”
The dates and locations of the next Hospitality Hours will be revealed by Sacha Lord on his Twitter feed throughout July and August.
