Festivals
If it’s packing your life into a bag and setting off tent in hand for a few days which will take you a week to recover from, or if watching people soaked through at Glastonbury on the news is your thing, we love a good festival, so much so that we even host our own! HowTheLightGetsIn

Golf!
We don’t mean playing golf, but anything that gets the boss out the office for an afternoon is a blessing. Thank god for golf aye?

Beer gardens!
Dry january is now just a distant memory (good riddance), what better place to overindulge than in a garden with a beer, one of lifes simple pleasures. We can’t wait to explore the beer gardens of Bristol, or even better, have our first beer garden crawl of the summer.

Leaving work when it’s still light!
This is a big one, those gloomy commutes can be banished to the history books (for a while) no longer will you be a nocturnal being who never sees daylight, peeling yourself away from the stuffy office to hop on the bus or sit in traffic bathed in the orange glow of street lamps before getting home and spending 4 hours trying to find something to watch on Netflix. It’s not fun, never under estimate what getting home in the daylight does for your mood.

Sun (When it comes out)
You know it, more than 5 minutes of sun and the front page of the newspapers are plastered with hosepipe bans and brits flocking to outdoor spaces, it doesn’t take much for us to declare a heat wave, but all joking aside, summer wouldn’t be summer without a little sun.

BBQ
BBQ food increases your happiness levels by around 600,000%, sit in the garden or on a sunny terrace with a cold one and some BBQ, but if your sausages turn out looking more like the charcoal you cooked them with, it might be worth letting us take care of the cooking.

Pimms
Proven by science to make the sun come out (please note this is in no way proven by science), this fruity and refreshing drink is hands down our favourite summer tradition, great to share with friends and it’s got salad in it, so we think that makes it kind of healthy-ish but don’t quote us on that.

Eager to get on the summer train? Why not book in a summer party at one of our venues in Bristol, Racks, No. 4 and The Square all have early bird offers available, but hurry, they won’t last forever!
