Christmas Markets by rail. Special £2 rail fares offered by Northern. Northern have worked with tourism bosses in #Harrogate and #Skipton to create a £2 rail fare [like the £2 bus fare] for those visiting the Christmas markets. #Barnsley has a Christmas Market at the Glassworks but I am not hearing that there will be a similar promotion. Northern was targeting less crowded markets in towns for the promotion and so perhaps there is still time for officers at Travel South Yorkshire, South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority or Barnsley Council to do a deal, as Barnsley's rail station is really close to the #Glassworks. The promotion is here: 👇 https://lnkd.in/esuS2Gxp The details of Barnsley's Christmas market is here: 👇 https://lnkd.in/ej_JBRHW Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce Carrie Sudbury Sarah Norman #️⃣ Barnsleyisbrill #christmas #christmasmarket #northernrail #barnsleytransport #barnsleybusiness #barnsleymarket

Are these spots easy to reach? 4️⃣ Chat: Ask locals for their recommendations! These steps make sure that your new home is in the heart of care and cuisine. Ready to "right" size your life?

What a cracking video from the team Downtown in Business - so appreciated, and what a fantastic team they all are - so supportive of our business and they have made a real impact on helping us reopen and boost visitors through our doors. 🙏 Whilst we don't talk enough about tough times & the learning we go through during these periods, I'm open to talk about the tough 2022 we encountered here - the perfect storm of a drop in business & increased costs - do truly put Independent #Hospitality Venues often very quickly (aka a few months) in tough cash-flow situations, and given I've experienced this previously & didn't act fast enough, it did take us on a path to make uncomfortable, fast decisions on our future here and we did take the decision to close to the public for an internal contract, very much for the longevity of our business - we had to future-proof our investment, our lease and I don't regret this. We are in business to thrive and survive and sadly in life you have to have the highs and the lows and that's how it goes. We have come out of survival mode fighting, and at a time when the economics at least look a little brighter than they were during & after COVID and we have made some changes - No Dinner Service, Smaller Garden - in short "we learned and we progress" - as all businesses should. We are much more financial sound and we look forward to continuing our journey after a much needed injection to our beautiful property and look forward to continuing here, as we celebrate our 7 years here this month. #TeamHesketh look forward to welcoming everyone back to the Chester Townhouse! Much appreciation Frank Mckenna Izzy Grey Cristian Marcucci Julie Mogan for the kind words. #SmallBusiness #FamilyRun #Entrepreneurs #Hospitality #Life

The Chief Cultural & Leisure Officers Association (CLOA) unequivocally condemns the recent riots that have taken place in the UK. These acts of violence, vandalism, and disruption are not only unlawful but deeply damaging to our communities and the fabric of our society as a whole. As an organisation we are united by the power of culture and leisure to create community, foster understanding, bring people together to celebrate our differences as well as our similarities and its ability to create a sense of shared history and experience that unites us beyond our differences. We believe that diversity is our superpower. We are appalled by the destruction and fear caused by these senseless acts. The riots have endangered lives and destroyed livelihoods of communities across the country. Where riots have not taken place, we are left with a sense of fear and anticipation that it may happen in our community. We stand in solidarity with the victims of this violence and know that many of you will be working tirelessly with colleagues and communities to restore order and rebuild what has been lost. We recognise that none of our members will be left untouched by this violence, and that many of you - especially those from minoritised ethnic groups and the Global Majority may not feel safe. As an organisation we would like to affirm our commitment to ensuring that all members of our community feel safe, valued and respected. We restate our dedication to fighting discrimination and will do everything in our power to assist in the healing and rebuilding process that lies ahead.

We've all seen the video by now, "Miami Beach Is Breaking Up With Spring Break," and I have to say, I HATE it. Let's talk facts: anti-tourism messaging isn't just misguided; it's downright damaging. The Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce wasn't consulted, leaving local businesses in the cold. Where's the fairness in that? 🌴Sure, spring break brings challenges, but let's not scapegoat the tourists. The real troublemakers? They're often from our own backyard. It's collective punishment, plain and simple. 💡 Instead of knee-jerk reactions, where are the real solutions? I'm tired of empty promises and clickbait. Turning Miami Beach into a fortress isn't the answer; it's a recipe for economic disaster. 🤦🏽♂️ And let's talk about the new administration's incompetence. It's like Groundhog Day every year, the same old mistakes, year after year. It's a joke. 👥 Brace yourselves for the racial undertones, too. It's predictable but no less disappointing. We need real change, not just lip service. 💼 This isn't just about fun on the beach; it's about livelihoods. Local businesses & entrepreneurs alike are taking a hit with little to no time to react to the news and plan accordingly. Take a wild guess on the amount of revenue generated for the city of Miami during the spring break season. Now, zoom out and think about how this is going to impact the state of Florida. ☀️ Let's also reflect on the budget we've previously AGREED to allocate to market to tourists and spring breakers. Glad to see all the results of those (successful) campaigns down the drain. 🗳️ Remember: we get the government we deserve. Only 15% voter turnout? That's on us. Do you think Tampa would cancel Gasparilla? Would New Orleans cancel Mardi Gras? Would a company tank its own #1 best-selling product? Let's stop the madness and start demanding real solutions. I promise it's not $100 parking. Our city's future depends on it. #MiamiBeach #TourismTroubles #RealChange #SpringBreak2024

I read this on a fellow host’s reviews of their suite. So disheartening! This host was marked down due to their obligation to follow city guidelines. Our city should care about the impression hosts and guest houses make on our guests. Visitors are not just our own guests, they are City of Winnipeg guests. We have been trying to advise all departments of the City of Winnipeg that this poster is entirely inappropriate and offensive. It does not say welcome. Why can’t it be exchanged for an informative seminar for hosts on how to spot human trafficking? To my knowledge hotels are not forced to display this poster in their rooms so far. The STR hosts in Winnipeg have expressed to me constantly how they feel targeted in this request to display what we call a “recruitment poster” (as it gives the income potential of this heinous crime). Personally, I feel like putting a piece of tape over the middle square of the poster where it gives the profit per victim. I have not (yet) received any bad reviews on account of the poster. Before a guest arrives at my suites I send a photo of the poster in a message and apologize in advance for the fact that it is there. I let the guests know upfront that I have no say over the rules I have to abide by in order to have a license to operate in Winnipeg. What else can we do to make guests feel welcome to overshadow the negative effect of this poster? How can we run a successful business while not turning our clients off the second they enter our establishment? This poster is like a restaurant posting the hazards of food poisioning and the possibility of parasites in your food with a graphic photo the minute you enter the place. Enjoy your meal!
