Today, I’ll be getting into what the Budget will mean for nightlife and hospitality, with conversations that will take us from national policy to individual venues.
First, I’ll turn to the On Trade copy deadline. I’m hoping to catch up with Martin Page, then I’ll speak with Sarah Noble.
Later in the morning, I’ll meet Paul Kohler MP for our NTE APPG discussion. Bringing the sector’s perspective into that conversation will be an important part of the day.
Next, I’ll catch up with Joe Heys at GMCA for our monthly meeting. I’ll also have a separate conversation with Grainne Hurst from the Betting and Gaming Council.
Around midday, I’ll join the Institute of Hospitality’s post Budget webinar. The NTE Round Up will follow, asking what the Budget will mean for nightlife. We’ll get into the implications for the businesses behind the headlines, without losing sight of the people running them.
In the afternoon, I’ll speak with Jack Henry about NTES 2027. Then I’ll join the conversation around Brighton’s LGBTQ+ venues submitting their proposal to the council. Later, I’ll meet the Mobile Locker team at London Bridge, with the Propel deadline also coming up.
This evening, I’ll join Jay Chan at the Holborn Union Society for a panel on the Budget, economic policy and where the nighttime industries sector will go next. We’ll open it up to questions from the floor too, so there’ll be room for a wider discussion about where we go from here
Morning from NTIA. Yesterday’s Budget has put business rates at the centre of the nightlife conversation. From April 2027, pubs, social clubs and all but the largest live music venues in England are due an extra 20 percentage points of relief, taking the total to 35%. The Budget also raises small business rates relief thresholds for qualifying hospitality and leisure properties and caps eligible rates bill increases at inflation for two years. Nightclubs are outside the specific pub and live music venue scheme, so eligibility matters. What is clear is its not enough and without doubt challenging future..
The cost picture remains mixed. Alcohol duty will rise with inflation from February 2027, and minimum wage rates will rise 3.9% from April 2027. From January 2027, up to 20 million eligible households in England are due a £100 energy payment. That is household support, not a payment to venues. Global energy pressures linked to conflict in the Middle East remain a concern. From today, sales of vapes and nicotine pouches to under 18s are banned across the UK.
Westminster is now scrutinising the Budget’s impact on living standards and the funding of future defence commitments. Abroad, ministers report progress in UK and EU talks over European supply chains, but no deal has been announced. Israel’s vote count still points to no clear governing majority.
For the businesses that bring our high streets and nights to life, the detail will make the difference.
Quick question: When someone shouts abuse at a stranger on the street, do they check their faith first?
No. They decide who you are from how you look.
That's why police count racially and religiously aggravated crimes together. Last year religious hate crime rose 13%. Offences against Muslims rose 15% and against Jewish people rose 10%.
Where victim ethnicity was recorded, about a third of victims were Asian and a quarter were Black. (It's under half of cases, so take it as a guide, not gospel.)
Racism and religious hatred are rarely separate. If you spot it, you can help stop it.

NTIA's Birmingham Night Time Economy Forum in partnership with @Ask for Clive
If we want a night time economy that actually works for the people running it, we need to be in the room where decisions get made.
NTIA and Ask For Clive are launching a Birmingham Night Time Economy Forum. We’re bringing together operators, local authorities, industry leaders, and policing partners to cut through the noise, address the real pressure points on the ground, and lay out where our city’s nightlife is headed.
Thursday, 12th November 2026 | 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
The Glee Club, Birmingham, B5 4TD
Free to attend, but space is limited and booking is essential. Make sure your voice is in the mix.

One Budget cannot undo years of damage to the night-time economy.
While the latest Budget offers some welcome measures for pubs, clubs and music venues, the reality is that businesses across nightlife and hospitality have spent years dealing with rising costs, reduced consumer spending and mounting financial pressure. For many operators, survival has taken priority over growth, and the support announced will need to make a real difference on the ground.
As Michael Kill, NTIA CEO, makes clear, preventing further damage is not the same as repairing what has already been lost. Without more meaningful action on VAT, employer National Insurance and the wider cost of running a business, many venues will continue to face difficult decisions about their future.
The industry needs more than breathing space. It needs the right conditions to recover, invest and keep its doors open.

Who gets to decide what a city feels like after dark? That choice shapes whether policy protects venues, respects neighbours’ sleep and includes people too often missing from licensing debates.
Camden in London offers one approach. Its citizens’ assembly brought together 47 randomly selected people who lived, worked or ran businesses in the borough. They developed principles and recommendations that helped shape the council’s evening and night time strategy. The strategy goes beyond pubs and clubs, proposing inclusive early evening experiences, support for grassroots venues and an evening and night panel. The assembly met in 2023, but its work remains a useful test of whose expertise counts.
Albany, New York, has taken another route this year. A mayoral Advisory Council on Nightlife Economy includes DJs, dance instructors, hospitality professionals, artists, business owners, residents and public servants. Its brief is to assess cultural and economic impact, hear from workers and operators, and recommend policy to the city. Its value will depend on what happens to those recommendations.
Buenos Aires is asking a different question: which night, and where? Its BA 24H programme uses a dedicated nightlife survey, neighbourhood mapping and channels for residents’ complaints. The city frames night life around resting, working and enjoyment. That makes tensions visible at the scale of streets and districts, rather than treating every area as identical.
These examples point to a practical principle. Creative nights need decisions that hear artists, hospitality workers and neighbours. Participation should reach the design table before the rules are settled.
What will the Government’s Budget mean for hospitality and the night time economy?
Join the NTIA and Institute of Hospitality for a special webinar the day after the Budget, bringing together industry leaders to discuss the impact on taxation, operating costs, employment, investment and business confidence.
Hosted by Michael Kill, CEO of the NTIA, alongside a panel of hospitality experts.

“The Price of a Night Out Has Reached Its Limit”: NTIA Issues Budget Warning as Consumer Spending Rises 34%
The Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) has warned the Chancellor that consumers have reached an affordability ceiling, as new CGA by NIQ research reveals spending on nights out has risen 34% since 2020.**
Average spending per head in pubs, bars and restaurants has increased from £20.95 in 2020 to £28.06 in 2026. However, growth has slowed sharply to just 2.1% over the past year, while London spending has effectively plateaued.
The NTIA warns that rising expenditure does not signal greater prosperity but reflects escalating operating costs, including employment, energy, taxation and business rates, increasingly passed on to consumers.
Michael Kill, CEO of NTIA, said:
“This Budget comes at a defining moment for British nightlife. Businesses cannot afford to absorb further costs, while customers cannot afford to keep paying more.
“The consumer cannot be the industry's financial shock absorber indefinitely.
“Consumers have reached their ceiling. Operators have reached theirs. The Chancellor must recognise that the sector has nowhere left to pass the pressure.”
The NTIA is urging meaningful action on business rates, employment costs and taxation to prevent further venue closures and protect the accessibility of nightlife.
Without intervention, the association warns that rising costs threaten businesses, jobs, cultural spaces and the vitality of towns and cities nationwide.
**The message is clear: nightlife cannot remain sustainable if consumers and operators are pushed beyond their financial limits.**
The Budget will be central to today’s work, with time set aside for media and our release. I’ll keep the realities facing nightlife businesses and their teams at the heart of how we communicate.
First, I’ll speak with Freek Wallagh about the Global Nightlife Movement, with Michael Rodrigues potentially joining us. Looking across borders will help put our own experience into a wider conversation about the night.
As the morning moves into Budget media work, I’ll also catch up separately with Graeme Park.
Then I’ll speak with Satia Rai for our IPSA catch up. The people working in security are part of the fabric of our venues, and maintaining that connection will remain important to the wider NTIA picture.
Early in the afternoon, I’ll join our monthly NTIA catch up with HMRC. On a day centred on the Budget, that regular relationship will sit alongside the public conversation about the pressures and practicalities of running a business.
Later, I’ll meet Councillor Daniel Dream from Lewisham. I’ll bring the perspective of nightlife into that local conversation, where the experience of venues, communities and culture needs to be heard.
I’m also hoping to catch up with Social Scene later in the afternoon.
The day will close with Deborah and Jono from bar.made. I’ll take the same approach into that final conversation: listening closely to the people behind the businesses as we look ahead.
Morning from NTIA. Budget day puts the cost of doing business firmly in focus. Chancellor John Healey speaks at 12.30 pm, with energy bills, tax and wages all in the spotlight. The Treasury has announced plans to remove gas standing charges for around 23 million homes by moving fixed costs into unit rates. It has not announced equivalent relief for venues.
Reports of higher alcohol duty and minimum wages are still predictions ahead of the speech. The Liberal Democrats have called for lower VAT on hospitality, but that is an opposition proposal. For pubs, clubs and live music spaces, the crucial detail will be what the Budget actually does for operating costs, jobs and customers’ spending power.
Beyond Westminster, Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy has urged the UK to accelerate defence spending. In Israel, exit polls point to no clear election winner, with coalition talks likely. Conflict in the Middle East remains a concern for energy prices. We will look closely at the published Budget and independent forecasts before judging the impact on our sector.
When someone speaks up about abuse, how we respond matters.
The NTIA supports the Government’s Respond campaign and its message to Listen. Believe. Support. By raising awareness, challenging harmful behaviours and helping create safer, more supportive environments, we all have a role to play in tackling violence against women and girls.
Find guidance and support through the ENOUGH campaign via the link in our bio.
As the clocks go back this Sunday, millions of night workers will face an extra hour on shift, keeping our night-time economy moving.
NTIA supports Uber’s Night Shift Tab campaign, offering night workers in London and Manchester up to £10 off a ride home or an Uber Eats order.
Enter NIGHTSHIFT for up to £10 off an Uber ride or NIGHTSHIFTEATS for up to £10 off Uber Eats, valid 00:01 to 08:00 on Sunday 25 October. Terms and conditions apply.
It’s a welcome way to recognise the people who make our nights possible.

A safer night depends on people who notice risks, respond and share what they learn. Three initiatives show how public health can work alongside music and hospitality.
In New South Wales, Australia, a drug checking service returned to selected festivals in October 2026. Attendees can voluntarily submit samples for analysis by forensic chemists, then discuss results with trained peer workers. The state plans to serve up to 15 festivals annually. At Sydney’s Knockout Outdoor on 3 October, the service detected unusually strong MDMA tablets. NSW Health issued a public warning on 9 October, turning information gathered inside one event into advice for a wider community.
New York City’s Narcan Behind Every Bar programme equips another part of the night. Its Office of Nightlife offers free overdose response training for venue teams and can supply naloxone kits. Owners, DJs, promoters, bartenders and security staff are invited. The initiative recognises that preparation extends beyond the medical tent.
Across Aotearoa New Zealand, KnowYourStuffNZ provides confidential checking and conversations at events and clinics. Its August 2026 report recorded 4,119 samples checked at 189 events during the season. When a substance differed from expectations, 44 per cent of clients said they would not take it.
None of these services can guarantee safety. Their value lies in trusted contact, useful information and the ability to act before harm escalates. Nightlife policy is strongest when it treats audiences and workers as partners in care, and turns what happens after dark into learning that travels beyond the venue.

Looking forward to today's panel discussion at Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) 2026!
I've affectionately dubbed this one the “Sex, Drugs & Rock ’n’ Roll” panel, although perhaps with a little more focus on the dancefloor!
We'll be getting into the gritty realities of nightlife, exploring the evolving relationship between drugs, sobriety, hedonism, harm reduction, safety and the changing culture of clubbing.
These are important conversations to have, particularly as we navigate a new era of nightlife, where attitudes, behaviours and expectations are shifting, and the industry has a responsibility to evolve alongside them.
Panel: Ethics of the Dance: Drugs, Movement & the Shifting Hedonism Space
📅 Friday 23rd October 2026
⏰ 16:00–17:00
📍 Felix Meritis, Amsterdam
Looking forward to some open, honest and perhaps provocative discussion. After all, nightlife has never been just about the music — it's about people, culture, freedom, expression and the spaces we create.
See you on the dancefloor… or at least in the discussion room!
#ADE2026 #AmsterdamDanceEvent #NTIA #NightTimeEconomy #Nightlife #ClubCulture #MusicIndustry
I’ll be in Amsterdam for ADE today, with the morning’s conversations taking me from IPSA’s next chapter to preparations for next year’s NTIA summit.
First, I’ll catch up with Satia Rai on the IPSA board update. We’ll then turn to social media and marketing support for the Members’ Meeting planned for St Paul’s Cathedral. The background to that work will be IPSA’s future direction, new board members and the development of workstreams supporting frontline security. For our venues, the people working on the frontline need a strong voice in those discussions.
Later in the morning, I’ll join Connor and the NTIA marketing team for our weekly catch up. A separate conversation with Rob from Mustard will focus on Summit 2027.
Around midday, I’ll join Connor for our weekly meeting with the National Promoters Society, hoping to catch up with Luke Richards too. Grassroots promoters need to be part of the conversation about the future of nightlife, alongside the venues and artists they help bring together.
In the afternoon, I’ll speak with Sara from OnSiren and Shahzad Ali.
Then I’ll take part in ADE’s Ethics of the Dance: Drugs, Movement & the Shifting Hedonism Space panel at Felix Meritis. I’ll bring a UK nightlife perspective to that discussion, with the people behind our venues and culture firmly in mind.
That’ll be the focus as I step into the afternoon’s ADE programme.
Nightlife Businesses Won't Survive on Less Paperwork Alone, Warns NTIA
NTIA welcomes Government reforms but warns the Chancellor that cutting red tape is no substitute for meaningful financial relief in the forthcoming Budget.
The Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) has welcomed Government measures to reduce bureaucracy and extend existing import tariff suspensions, expected to deliver almost £800 million in annual savings for British businesses.
The measures include extending tariff suspensions on more than 250 products until December 2028, protecting up to £155 million in annual savings, alongside regulatory reforms expected to save businesses over £600 million a year.
While recognising these positive steps, the NTIA warns that reducing paperwork will not address the escalating costs threatening the survival of thousands of independent pubs, bars, nightclubs and live music venues.
With small businesses representing around 70% of the night time economy, the Association is calling on the Chancellor to use the forthcoming Budget to deliver urgent relief on business rates, taxation and employment costs.
Michael Kill, CEO of the Night Time Industries Association, said:
“We welcome the Government's commitment to cutting red tape and protecting existing tariff relief. Any measure that reduces unnecessary costs is a step in the right direction.
“But let's be clear: nightlife businesses won't survive on less paperwork alone.
“Our sector isn't struggling because of administration. It's struggling under the crushing weight of business rates, rising employment costs, taxation and relentless operating pressures.
“Small businesses make up around 70% of our night time economy. They are the heartbeat of our high streets, communities and cultural life, yet many are fighting simply to keep their doors open.
“Cutting bureaucracy is welcome, but it doesn't pay the wages, reduce business rates or keep the lights on.
“The Chancellor now has an opportunity to turn positive intent into meaningful action. The forthcoming Budget must deliver real financial relief where businesses need it most.
“We don't just need Government to make it easier to run a business. We need Government to make it financially viable to run one.
“Ultimately, success won't be measured by how much paperwork is removed, but by how many businesses survive, jobs are protected and communities continue to thrive.”
What will the Government’s Budget mean for hospitality and the night time economy?
