Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends, clients and followers! 🦃
*
The trend for Black Friday sales, which started in America as a post-Thanksgiving retail event, has grown over the years here in the UK. If you're shopping for bargains, early Christmas presents or just a treat, please remember to think about small businesses, supporting your community and shopping local.
Check out Colour Friday which was started in 2021 by Holly & Co holly.co/colour-friday-2022/ @hollytucker

It’s the little things that count!

On Remembrance Day this year, Sunflower Event Team ran a virtual event for a client. As part of our regular pre-event checks, we ensured that we discussed with our client building the two-minute silence at 11am into the agenda, to honour the Commonwealth armed forces members who have died in the line of duty since WW1.

This got us thinking about those little details that we always build into our to-do lists and highlight to our clients. There are the obvious event dates to avoid – public holidays and school holidays, but we also pay attention to religious festivals and holidays, and other key events too, like certain international awareness days and major sporting events.

As a result, we are now planning to post a monthly reminder for our followers, to let you know what’s coming up, so here we go...

Coming up in December (please note that this is by no means an exhaustive list!)

21st November – 18th December – Football World Cup
All fixtures with GMT timings are listed at worldcup.org.uk – most of England’s matches start at either 1pm or 7pm GMT, so avoid lunch meetings or drinks receptions.

1st December – World AIDS Day – www.worldaidsday.org
Red ribbons are traditionally worn

8th December - Christmas Jumper Day for Save The Children www.savethechildren.org.uk/christmas-jumper-day
A fun festive fundraising occasion that you might wish to promote within your organisation rather than at an event!

19th – 26th December 19 - Hanukkah
26th December – 1st January 2023 - Kwanzaa

We hope you wouldn’t forget Christmas, but it would be odd to leave out:
26th December - Boxing Day bank holiday
27th December - Christmas Day substitute bank holiday

Do let us know if this is useful for you. We’d also love to hear about any scheduling clashes you’ve had that helped you learn to check dates in future!

One of our clients held their annual conference at Edgbaston Park Hotel this week; we've booked a couple of events there this year, and already re-booked one for next year!
It's a lovely location, on the University of Birmingham's leafy Edgbaston campus, close to the city centre and transport links, with a great mix of old and purpose-built suites for up to 250 attendees; the elegant boardrooms (one pictured here) have original Arts and Crafts interiors.
If you're looking at #Birmingham for your event, do get in touch with us, there's lots of impressive options in the city.

Great to be attending #Zoomtopia EMEA 2022 today. We currently run over 50 days' worth of events on Zoom every year, so keeping up-to-date with developments and innovations in the tech is key! 💻

We've been busily arranging a number of site visits for 2023 events over the past few weeks; we love to support our clients from the very start of any event, to help achieve goals and maximise potential.
This striking botanical wallpaper can be found in the George V room @hotelbloomsbury in the heart of London. It's a show-stopping room for dinner or drinks receptions.
If you're looking for an extraordinary venue for your next event, however large or small, get in touch with us at Sunflower HQ.

Happy November! 🍁🍂🍄🌰
We love this time of year for the autumn leaves, cosy winter jumpers and Bonfire Night, but the dark evenings somehow come as a surprise every year...
Now that Halloween is out of the way, it feels like Christmas is just around the corner - even though we've been planning Christmas events since May!
If you need any help with your Christmas events, from finding that elusive #venue to #decorations and #entertainment, do get in touch with us.

The first Saturday in October is National Bookshop Day in the UK, an annual event to support independent bookshops. We hardly need an excuse to visit our lovely local @wordonthestreetbookshop but it's a good one! 📚
It's also International Coffee Day and the start of Black History Month in the UK.

Good luck - and THANK YOU - to anyone running an event for Macmillan's World's Biggest Coffee Morning today! ☕️🍰
The WBCM has been running since 1990 and has raised over £290 million for Macmillan, to support people living with cancer. It's a cause close to our hearts 💚

Finding venues for clients is such satisfying work, and when it's for a Christmas party, it's even more special 🎄
We've just finalised another corporate Christmas venue find; we'll share pictures of the venue and set-up after the party. If you haven't secured your Christmas venue yet, get in touch with us! From small dinners to receptions for 200, we've got ideas for every budget.

With two years of disruption behind us and a glorious summer ahead, Sunflower's venue finding service was put to the test over the past few months with multiple requests for roof terraces and garden party venues 🌞
We started writing a blog but were so busy, we only just managed to finish it!
If you're thinking of a summer party for 2023 (or a winter one with patio heaters!), get in touch with us: https://buff.ly/3xnvsyM

One of the Sunflower team spotted this cheery sight on the school run this morning; a resilient little sunflower pushing up through the pavement, merrily blooming out of season 🌻
