Story
There's a lot of our favourite venues right now at financial risk, and these are vital for the arts, not to mention the community around them. We at Green House Group spend an awful lot of time in pubs, theatres, and venues, and know and work with so many of the amazing people behind the scenes who, like us, are a bit worried...
So the principal is this - instead of going to the pub, you can buy a virtual pint for £3.50, a virtual cocktail for £5, or a virtual round for £20. In fact there's a whole menu (including non alcoholic beverages) to choose from:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

🎟 Tickets to festivals, including End of the Road, ArcTanGent, and 2000TREES.
🎟 Tickets for gigs, including shows at The Lexington..

We're giving 50% of the proceeds to the Music Venue Trust, and the other 50% to help out some of the UK's other favourite small and independent venues at this fragile time. Exact details of this will be decided by a committee that we at Green House Group will assemble at a later date, and we'll follow up with updates on what's happening.
Overall this money will go to helping those venues most at risk, to keep the lights on and pay towards overheads that may not be covered by any government initiatives.

5 years agoTHANK YOU to everybody who has dropped by for a virtual pint since we launched this last month. It's been amazing seeing all your shout-outs to venues across the UK, and when all this is done we're looking forward to some real beers and vinos with you in the sunshine (we hope). We've just hit our first goal, which is amazing. THANK YOU. Cheers!!! 🍻

So happy to see any way to show support to small venues where all acts originate from. Just hope some of my favourites can pull through so I can have a real pint there soon!

We're raising a #VirtualPint for the Music Venue Trust and other vulnerable spaces. With so many people staying at home right now, opening their own virtual spaces and hangouts, we wanted to make sure that the bricks and mortar of our communities don't get forgotten about.
