We had a Night out – (and it was Great!)

Sunday 23 May 2021

 Skylight at Tobacco Dock  A great night out at Skylight Roof Bar with The Comedy Store

This would not have been the most eye-catching story headline back in 2019 we grant you, but it was lovely to host 15 clients alongside our colleagues at Story Events at last week’s Comedy Store show at Skylight on the rooftop of Tobacco Dock London.

On welcoming our clients, (it was a bit trickier to spot them behind face masks!), there were handshakes, fist and elbow bumps and the odd nervous hug as we greeted clients for a lovely live reunion. Observing our group (and over 200 other guests – some on company outings and some in friendship groups) drinking and chatting, comedians feeding off an audience and bar and service staff busy doing what they do best, is a reminder (not that we really needed one) of why live events are really the only way to get to know your clients and colleagues.

Thank you to the Skylight team for the first round of drinks and looking after us so well. We were also joined our CEO’s entrepreneurial nephew, Finn Gill, who served us all delicious cocktails made with his new lockdown-launched John Paul Jones rum.  

And thank you, of course, to all our lively and lovely clients for dodging the showers to get there and sharing such a memorable evening with us.

Here at Venue Search London, our free venue finding team are seeing a huge level of interest in these smaller and more informal alfresco social nights out, either as a way to reunite remote working teams or rekindle client relationships, whilst decision makers begin to look at hosting larger in-person events after our long-awaited summer holidays.

Skylight is one of over 200 great summer and rooftop event venues in London on Venue Search London's list and it's great to see increasing confidence and high levels of demand for the return of larger live parties, conferences and events soon after the June 21st final roadmap date.

Skylight is one of over 60 amazing London venues and event suppliers that will be exhibiting at our London Christmas Party Show at Pan Pacific London on the 7th and 8th of September.


We are very busy hosting show-rounds and meeting clients for lunch and coffee (or something stronger), so please give our team of free venue finders a call on 0207 870 9305 or drop us an email and we will save you time and money in your next venue search.
