@ChesneyHawkes I’ve nailed my Christmas outfit today!

[Marie Hobson @mchobson]

Why have a fifth of older audiences not returned to the UK’s cultural attractions post-Covid? What can we do to re-engage them? Find out in my article for @researchlive based on research by @MHMinsight for @V_and_A, @RoyalOperaHouse, @WallaceCollection @RoyalAlbertHall & @alva_uk

Following Covid-19, how can the UK’s cultural attractions tempt older people back? Marie Hobson looks at a V&A survey on the issue:

@RymanStationery can I recycle these at your stores? Seems such a waste to put them in the bin.

[Marie Hobson @mchobson]

@bernarddonoghue @LIFTfestival @BristolOldVic @PHMMcr @southeastNT @NTlovesLondon Very well deserved! 🥂

[Marie Hobson @mchobson]

@JamesBSumner It’s the word “or” which is problematic I think, “including” would be better. I can recommend training from @Genderintell.

@Lugzsu Genuinely thought these were going to be photos of the canteen

[Marie Hobson @mchobson]

I keep thinking about how this time last year we were in lockdown & then feel so grateful that we can do @Girlguiding meetings in person now.

[10th Lee South Guides & Rangers @10thLSGuides]

After a pre-lockdown dash around Lee, Grove Park & Hither Green with supplies for our girls, we are ready to re-zoom Guide & Ranger meetings online!

(Did anyone like the pun? 😉)
