With new tighter restrictions including lower capacity limits and a ban on alcohol sales, industry representatives such as @livemusic_uk / @_ukmusic , @musicvenuetrust , @we_are_ntia and the Concert Promoters Association, are setting out why our collective industry needs a specific exemption!

@outtoperform and their hashtag #savecarolsinging is a new group that #WeMakeEvents is proud to be supporting – their focus being performing arts outdoors and right now, we all need the positivity & community of singing!
Currently, professional choirs can rehearse (even indoors) while amateur/community groups are barred from singing – even outdoors with social distancing.
Out To Perform looks to make real change for the government to guarantee outdoor carol singing for all and are backed by the likes of Aled Jones, Lesley Garrett from English National Opera and Julian Lloyd Webber.

Get gift-ready for Christmas with our official merchandise, which now includes our very own gin!
'Together in Spirit' has been created by the Selkirk Distillery and we think it would make the perfect Christmas present or drinks cabinet addition. Together, we can raise a toast for the live entertainment industry!
But there's more! Why not snap up a stocking filler face mask, or a t-shirt for the kids?

Incredibly grateful to the @atptour for highlighting our campaign in their recent 'a making of' style video of this years final at the 02 arena!
You guys put on a great event and even minus the audience it was still captivating.

Survival Sessions with @frankturner for #WeMakeEvents – 19th November!
Frank says….. "The people behind the scenes in the live music industry are a brilliant collection of technicians, logistics experts and more. They usually try not to be seen as part of their job, but right now their invisibility is dangerous.
The collapse of the industry in 2020 has destroyed their livelihoods, and as independent contractors they largely fall between the gaps of any government assistance schemes.
They need all the help they can get to survive until the industry comes back to life. Anything you can spare would be amazing"
Share the link and encourage all your friends and followers to watch on Thursday!

Mug in a mug! #wemakeevents is an international movement to help support people in the events industry during the pandemic. You can help by getting some of their fabulous merchandise. Go to my insta stories for the link to browse… xx
Mainstream coverage in the @dailymail , of the plight that our industry faces, with the latest sad news of job cuts within the events and exhibition sector and companies warning they might not survive beyond next spring.
#WeMakeEvents is thankful for the huge amount of support given in the UK by @ukhmtreasury and @rishisunakmp , but we still continue to fight daily to get support for all those excluded by the current government eligibility criteria!
