KEEP HOSPITALITY ALIVE
The latest COVID-19 restrictions relating to hospitality venues are having a profound effect on business and, if they continue, will lead to the demise of thousands of restaurants, bars, clubs and other related businesses, leaving a large proportion of UK hospitality’s 3 million+ workforce out of a job.
Join this demonstration in front of parliament to make your voice heard and to urge the government to revise it’s policies relating to hospitality venues, both in terms of restrictions and industry-specific support.
Bring something hospitality-related to make some noise, e.g pots, pans, ladles, cocktail shakers, wooden spoons, gongs etc. If possible wear your work uniform especially chef’s whites, aprons, etc.
SCHEDULE: MONDAY 19TH OCTOBER
10.30am Demonstrators meet on Parliament Square (SW1P 3BD) for this peaceful protest. Please only bring placards that are respectful in their message
11am The industry makes its voice heard with pots, pans, spoons, cocktail shakers full of stones, ladles, gongs etc.
