Inspiration from Brighton Hospitality: October Edition
This month's Tip Jar is mostly about you - the people who make Brighton, Hove and Sussex hospitality. We share stories and interviews from industry people making a difference, celebrate recent success stories, reflect on Recycling Week, and give a big shout out to Fourth and Church as they celebrate an incredible ten years.
We love meeting the people who make Brighton, Hove and Sussex hospitality and sharing your news which we couldn't do it without you. Thank you. |
