Why Competitive Socialising?
The market sector experienced huge growth in recent years and is now exploding even further. It’s no surprise that after a year of being locked in our homes for a forced social detox, the nation has climbed out of it's burrow to get back to spending time together.
Think social darts, shuffleboard and games of pool, alongside gourmet street food and impressive cocktail packages, all wrapped up in an incredibly themed venue with more Instagram opportunities than you can shake your smartphone at. Now is the time to join the revolution and have some serious fun changing the face of the retail and leisure industry.
If you need a refresher on just what competitive socialising is all about, we have a fantastic full breakdown in our blog post here.
