As we gently close the door on 2025, we’re stepping into 2026 with a renewed sense of purpose and a slightly tighter hug around the people who make our communities what they are.
This year ahead, our focus is firmly on supporting UK local, independent businesses, with a little extra love for hospitality and the incredible suppliers (including us lol) that keep this industry alive. These are the places where stories are shared, friendships are made, and memories quietly take root.
We’re also seeing a welcome shift on less screen time, more real time. More people choosing experiences over transactions:
Putting phones away.
Sitting longer.
Talking more.
Meeting new faces.
Sharing stories across tables instead of through apps.
That’s something we deeply believe in and it’s at the heart of everything we do.
Which makes us incredibly proud that we came second in the South West Tourism Awards for our Gin School Experiences. Our pride comes from, not just because of the award itself, but because it reflects what matters most to us.
If you take a wander through our Trustpilot and Google reviews, you’ll see a common thread.
We’re not scripted, we’re not polished for show, we’re people-centric. Real conversations, genuine connections, and experiences that feel human, not manufactured.
And this is just the beginning.
There’s lots of new stuff coming, new ideas, new stories, new ways to bring people together. So keep an eye out as we amble along this journey, one shared moment at a time.
Here’s to 2026 - more connection, more community and many more stories worth telling.
