On Monday 14th November at 10.30am, the hospitality industry will gather in Parliament Square for the third time to protest about the government’s lack of support for the sector.
Countless hospitality businesses have closed since early 2020, or are currently teetering on the brink of oblivion, so we are urging the government to take appropriate action to support a sector that is on its knees.
If you work in the hospitality sector and associated industries, or enjoy supporting restaurants, bars, pubs, clubs, cafés and hotels, show your support by joining us at Parliament Square.
