Wishing LGBTQ+ businesses the best (possible) Xmas ‘n NYE!

Well it’s upon us - the festive season that will be celebrated in PinkUk.com land and pretty much everywhere else, whatever the doom mongers, politicians and health experts keep trying to tell us, trying to dampen our spirits.
We understand this year is different and everyone needs to act responsibly but there’s no way governments are going to lock us down or silence us over the seasonal festivities.

The LGBTQ+ communities have been through too much over many years to drop their hard fought gains now.

So we wish you all a fantastic if slightly different Xmas / NYE. Our pinkest love and support to all the brave businesses out there at such a challenging time.

Love & Pink Respect from Dave & the team, PinkUk

The Anco Hotel has single rooms, double rooms and 3/4 person rooms, so you can come alone, with friends or with your partner.

With a ridiculously short walk away from the bars, the Anco is the hot place for everyone visiting Amsterdam.

Findings from PinkUk’s survey of UK LGBTQ+ venues

PinkUk's Survey
Top of interest from our recent survey of UK LGBTQ+ venues is that they said they wanted more listings and news on events and Prides (whether virtual or physical).
Second highest priority was more content on community matters with more varied content. Well, all we can say it looks like we can deliver! It’s a mix of what we already offer but adding as we grow. Huge thanks to everyone for supporting us on our journey, and we hope you will see changes and improvements over the next few months. Thanks team@pinkuk.com
