Still time to enjoy summerWould you like to see your advert here, please contact us Hopes for the rest of the summer are rising in England, Scotland & Wales as the country finally removed its non-travel lockdown restrictions on 19 July, while overseas travel is cautiously being opened up. Vaccinated tourists from the EU and US will no longer have to quarantine on arrival—boosting the UK as an attractive tourist destination. PinkUk has supported all its users, businesses and pride festivals throughout the pandemic, in fact it’s the reason for this newsletter. We now list over 3,100 LGBTQ+ or friendly venues in 66 countries. While safety concerns remain with the escalation of the highly contagious Delta variant of the Coronavirus, we now have the exciting prospect of those sectors of the LGBTQ+ scene finally re-opening such as clubs and saunas after an unparalleled difficult time. Whether you use these businesses or not, we should all wish them and their staff Pink love as they gear up for serving their customers safely in a world that has drastically changed since they were last trading. Have a safe and fun rest of the summer. |
Love & Pink Respect from Dave & the team,
PinkUk

Hilarious new novel about running an LGBTQ+ friendly Bed and Breakfast hotel
After working as a mortuary assistant for many years, Darryl heads for the seaside to own and run an LGBTQ+ friendly guest house, determined to meet new people, preferably the living variety, to make his time more interest-ing. It certainly is. Dealing with all humanity from the weird to the wonderful, the nasty to the noble and every shade of grey in between, Darryl learns his new trade the hard way. Luckily, he is not alone, he takes us all along with him.
More info on Darryl on Amazon.
